The centerpiece of the dashboard is a clear 11.6-inch primary display touchscreen that seamlessly integrates Apple CarPlay and Android Auto for intuitive smart device connectivity. Passengers benefit from an 11-speaker Harman/kardon premium audio system driven by a 576W amplifier, delivering crystal-clear sound for music and podcasts. Front wireless smart device charging and four USB ports keep everyone powered up throughout the drive. Dual-zone automatic climate control, heated front seats, and a power-adjustable driver seat with two-way power lumbar support ensure long-distance comfort.

        Solid vehicle

        by Luna on 5/13/2026 6:42:32 AM

        Well built, solid vehicle. Excellent visibility. Ok acceleration with the hybrid. Handling is good too and good turning radius. I average about 30 mpg. I have not had issues with the screen freezing or being able to navigate to any apps. I have never had an issue with the parking sensors. They sometimes beep but never intrude on me actually being able to maneuver the vehicle. You can turn off the lane keep assist and the "nanny" that tells you to keep your eyes on the road. I wish it was faster and got better mpgs but overall a great vehicle and I knew what I was purchasing. Subaru has one of the best dealership customer services where I live, most other dealers here couldn't care less about you after the sale. Also one of the only dealers that don't mark up over msrp.…

        Excellent SUV

        by Doug on 4/26/2026 5:54:57 PM

        I have owned many new cars from Japanese and American brands over the years, except a Subaru. I just purchased a '26 Touring Hybrid and absolutely love this car over all others. It drives very smoothly, is quiet, and definitely has a noted feel of luxury, both inside and out. The stereo is amazing and even allows me to replay songs on the radio. I could not be happier with this purchase.…

        Subaru, gives us an updated touchscreen!

        by Michael on 3/10/2026 6:36:52 PM

        Replaced a 2014 Subaru Forester and are pleased with the newer model...except the touch screen is not up to modern standards. Laggy, slow and does not automatically connect to iPhone CarPlay. The touch screen is a real disappointment. I wish there was some OS update Subaru could arrange for existing owners to make the touchscreen a better experience. I also think the myriad safety options are way overboard. If you make it through the manual you will be overwhelmed with the options for just about every feature - safety of otherwise. I dont' think we need 2 cruise control options or the ability to turn off safety features. Make it safe AND simple. Less bells and whistles. Otherwise enjoying the car.…
