Subaru Outback Is Leaving Its U.S.-Made Home, What’s Replacing It?

We have a 2018 Outback and a 2022 Ford lightning.
We love both vehicles and plan on replacing the Outback with hopefully a Subaru hybrid soon.
And if Subaru comes out with a hybrid truck we will be happy to buy one also.
Subaru makes a great vehicle and we plan on staying with it as long as it continues to make a great vehicle.

I don’t think electric cars are the future. I look to compressed natural gas as an alternative. Also gas and electric hybrid may be more affordable. Two other alternatives might be nuclear and hydrogen power.

Is this sentence a typo?:
“ The Crosstrek Outback will likely offer an optional hybrid powertrain due in 2026. ”

Maybe supposed to be “The Crosstrek and Outback…”?

My 2022 Outback XT is a superb all around automobile that is equal or better than previous Mercedes and BMWs I have owned. I would love to trade up to an electric Outback!

As the owner, with my wife, of a2017 Outback and former owner of a 2015 model, I think highly of the brand. I would definitely consider purchasing another one so long as they reduce the plastic cladding introduced in the 2023 models. Didn’t anyone learn anything from the Pontiac Aztec?

I will never buy a hybrid or all electric vehicle. If that is all Subaru offers, then they've lost me as a future customer. My brother, and also my brother-in-law who currently drive Outbacks have also stated they'd never buy an electric or hybrid.

I drive across country to Missouri from Connecticut often. I'm not going to stop every couple of hundred miles to charge overnight.

Hybrid Vehicles are the direction automobile companies should be heading.

All electric cars are good for local driving but not in cold climates as has been demonstrated in past winters in the northern parts of the US.
The government is wasting our money subsidizing electric charging stations

I love Subaru and have had my Outback for 8 years (210k+ miles), but in general, I am not high on electric vehicles. A hybrid is certainly a possibility though. As long as they keep all-wheel drive and high safety standards I will always love Subaru.

Not a fan of the e cars. I often travel 350-500 miles a day for work and for skiing. I often drive from Wisconsin to Vermont or Colorado, and need a vehicle that can travel 800 + miles a day.

Just returned my 2021 Forester when lease ended, got a 2024 Outback ………lv it , have had 4 others , this is my 8 Subaru …..I will never buy or lease an all electric vehicle.

I have owned a 2010 Outback, a 2016 Crosstrek and a 2021 Forester. I am anxiously awaiting for a hybrid Forrester but more so, a Crosstrek. I am not interested in an EV. But I would like to see some of the amenities/options available on a Forester be made available on a Crosstrek

I am very happy with my gas powered Outback with the optional turbo charged. NO Electric for me! However, I have nothing against a gas- hybrid. Our infra- structure is not even closely prepared for all of these electric vehicles. Why not just concentrate on the bigger polluters like trucks, buses industrial equipment post office trucks, UPS etc.

Once the Outback is produced in Japan, Subaru Of America will undoubtedly raise the transportation cost to ship to the US, significantly and pass it on the buyer.

I am waiting for a hybrid. Will purchase the Forester hybrid although I drive an Outback now. Then again, if an EV is coming out…nah, need to start the transition now. Will see how the driving range of an EV Subaru is first since I live in a rural western state. I need to be able to drive at lest 300 miles on a single charge.

My family owns my Subarus
We all agree electric is not the way to go due to environmental impact and cost. Hybrid are the way to go. My son is a Master Mechanic graduate of TSTC. WE are in Austin, but from northern Indiana. I have a 2020
Scent limited 16500 miles. It milage is bad, I am planning on trading it for a used Outback. I had a 2005 Outback I loved.

The rapid charging technology has not been developed and I am not willing to spend up to an hour of my trip waiting. Charging stations are few and far between.
I am disappointed in this decision—I have bought only Subaru cars since 1983 and hate to think that may have to change.

Looking forward to a Subaru EV Wagon. With plus 250 mile range I'd be early to buy one for sure.

want outback remain u.s.
infrastructure not there and definitely not a green move.. I don't need to list why since there are many lists of why not green move. sounds more political just when I was trusting subaru.

I live in town house and the association will not let me put electrical for the ev so what am I to do. That is the question that know car manufacturers can’t give a answer.

On my first Outback ('21 Limited) after many Honda's. It's been a good car -- smooth ride, safe, good gas mileage. Moving production to Japan not huge (nice though they were made in U.S.). An EV? Never! Range low (especially compared to a gas Outback) and charging too long. Hybrid maybe, but I'm happy with a gas engine. The company that continues to offer a gas engine in the future will get my business.

Hi, I have owned 11 Subarus. Current one is a 2024 Outback XT. I will not go electric, live in Colorado and travel a lot. I will switch brands.
