Subaru SUV: Forester & Ascent
The Subaru Forester and Ascent are the two of the most capable vehicles Subaru offers. Both offer a four-door experience with easy access to the cabin. The Outback isn't really a body style because of its unique lines and stance. It combines the best of two worlds; the crossover and station wagon. There is plenty of cargo space, ample ground clearance, and Subaru's legendary all-wheel-drive system. While the Ascent is a seven-passenger people mover and offers all the great attributes of the Outback but with more seating.
Forester
The Forester is another adventure-ready compact SUV in the Subaru lineup. All trims come with the same powerful 2.5-litre four-cylinder engine with 182 horsepower and standard symmetrical AWD.

Ascent
The Subaru Ascent is a spacious three-row SUV that can fit up to eight passengers in its cabin. The Ascent boasts a 2.4-litre turbocharged engine with 260 horsepower and 277 lb-ft of torque. This vehicle provides you with a sporty driving experience, apparent in the available paddle shifters and standard all-wheel-drive system.
Subaru 5-DOOR: Impreza and Crosstrek
Hatchbacks offer a level of style and practicality that sedans just can't match. The Impreza and Crosstrek offer plenty of interior space with ease of access.
