The 2026 model year brings exciting updates across the Subaru lineup. Some 2026 Subaru models are already here in our new inventory and some will arrive soon. From redesigns and new trims to upgraded features and capabilities, there's a lot to learn about and love in the newest Subaru vehicles. Here's a look at what's new in 2026 for some of Subaru's most popular models.
What's New in the 2026 Subaru Crosstrek and Crosstrek Hybrid
The versatile Subaru Crosstrek compact SUV gets a nice boost in power for 2026, with the larger 2.5-liter four-cylinder engine that generates 180 horsepower, and that's now standard across the lineup. This update provides more rapid acceleration and passing power. Also new for this year, the Crosstrek Limited and rugged Wilderness trims gain the warmth of a standard heated steering wheel. Sporty handling and standard Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive (AWD) continue to make the Crosstrek a great choice for drivers in North Adams. For 2026, Subaru will also offer a Crosstrek Hybrid that will be available in our new hybrid inventory.
What's New in the 2026 Subaru Forester
Adventure-ready capability hits a new level in the redesigned 2026 Subaru Forester Wilderness. This special off-road-focused trim gets a retuned suspension for up to 9.3 inches of ground clearance to confidently traverse rugged terrain around Great Barrington. Its upgraded gearing with a shorter final drive ratio improves low-end responsiveness for better control over challenging surfaces. The Forester Wilderness also adds selectable drive settings to optimize traction and stability in a variety of driving conditions. It's an awesome SUV for outdoor lovers in Lenox.
What's New in the 2026 Subaru Outback
The biggest news for the 2026 Subaru Outback is the complete redesign. Subaru's flagship SUV moves to an all-new two-row midsize body style while retaining its signature blend of wagon-like utility and SUV capability. The Outback's interior gets a major refresh with contemporary styling, upgraded materials, and the latest tech. It remains a spacious, comfortable, and versatile SUV that's ready to handle all your challenges around Williamstown.
What's New in the 2026 Subaru Legacy
Subaru's midsize Legacy sedan undergoes a significant refresh for 2026. The exterior has a more aggressive and modern design, especially at the front end. Inside, the Legacy gets a large 11.6-inch vertical touchscreen as standard equipment and other tech upgrades to enhance connectivity and safety. With standard all-wheel drive and a roomy, refined cabin, the Legacy is a top pick for sedan shoppers in Bennington, VT.
What's New in the 2026 Subaru BRZ
The rear-wheel-drive Subaru BRZ sport coupe adds a stylish special edition called Series.Yellow for 2026. Based on the performance-tuned BRZ tS trim, the Series.Yellow will be produced in limited numbers and offered exclusively with a six-speed manual transmission for maximum driver engagement. It will stand out from the crowd with its striking yellow exterior paint color. The BRZ continues to be an exciting choice for spirited driving on the back roads of Columbia County.
What's New in the 2026 Subaru Impreza
Subaru has streamlined the Impreza lineup for 2026, discontinuing the base trim and leaving the better-equipped Sport and RS models. A bold new yellow color option joins the Impreza's palette. Driving enthusiasts will appreciate that the RS model's 2.5-liter engine has been enhanced to produce 180 horsepower for quicker acceleration. With its agile handling and standard all-wheel drive, the compact Impreza remains a fun, reliable, and affordable option for Pittsfield drivers.
