Hybrid vehicles offer a cleaner alternative to traditional gasoline-powered cars. Known for their reduced fuel consumption, hybrids are celebrated across the auto industry, while plug-in models take it a step further by incorporating electric power to cut emissions even more. For eco-conscious drivers seeking sustainable transportation, choosing a hybrid means contributing to a healthier atmosphere while still enjoying the same level of safety, performance, and versatility they expect.
Hybrid owners can enjoy reduced fuel costs and lower maintenance expenses thanks to an efficient drivetrain and decreased fuel consumption. Those purchasing a new or used Subaru hybrid at Five Star Subaru may also qualify for additional savings through financial incentives, such as tax credits or rebates.
At the core of every hybrid system lies the seamless blend of electric motor and gasoline engine, engineered for peak efficiency and power. Yet it’s how these systems capture and deploy that energy where true technological evolution continues to unfold.
Subaru’s hybrid vehicles masterfully unite two exceptional powertrains: the iconic SUBARU BOXER® engine paired with a cutting-edge electric motor, delivering an unmatched combination of responsive performance and impressive fuel efficiency for today’s modern, eco-conscious driver.
The BOXER engine works in two ways while driving: directly powering your vehicle or replenishing the battery based on road conditions. At lower speeds, Subaru’s hybrid system switches to EV mode, running purely on electric power — perfect for stop-and-go city traffic where traditional gasoline engines tend to burn through fuel less efficiently.
Hybrid batteries recharge in two ways: through engine power at low speeds, and via regenerative braking, which captures kinetic energy during deceleration or coasting. Together, these systems work in harmony to maximize the vehicle’s driving range in EV mode.
The 2025 Subaru Forester and 2026 Crosstrek Hybrid come loaded with cutting-edge safety, connectivity, and comfort features. Both models also boast impressive all-weather capability, delivering superior traction, stability, and handling to tackle even the most challenging road and weather conditions effortlessly.
The 2025 Forester Hybrid comes loaded with standard EyeSight Driver Assist Technology and the Subaru DriverFocus® Distraction Mitigation System. Also included is MySubaru Connected Services® In-Vehicle Technology, a seamless connectivity platform that brings multimedia content, smartphone integration, turn-by-turn navigation, and advanced safety features right to your infotainment screen. The system is broken into two key components: the Subaru Multimedia System, which covers all entertainment and smartphone features, including onboard Wi-Fi; and MySubaru Connected Services, which provides access to essential safety and convenience tools such as roadside assistance, remote engine start, and maintenance and diagnostic alerts.
The award-winning EyeSight® Driver Assist Technology returns in the 2026 Crosstrek Hybrid, now upgraded for quicker, smoother performance. Paired with an 11.6-inch touchscreen supporting Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™, plus a stunning 12.3-inch fully digital gauge cluster, this cabin is built for the modern driver.
Making the switch to a hybrid vehicle is one of the smartest moves you can make for the planet. Producing fewer greenhouse gas emissions than traditional gas-powered cars, hybrids play a key role in reducing air pollution and combating climate change—core values that align with the Subaru Love Promise and Five Star Subaru’s dedication to a greener tomorrow. On top of that, hybrids deliver superior fuel efficiency, meaning you’ll depend less on fossil fuels and non-renewable energy sources overall. It’s a win for the environment and a win for your bank account!
