Frequently Asked Questions

Almost all Subaru vehicles—including the Crosstrek, Forester, Outback, Ascent, Impreza, Legacy, and Solterra—come standard with Subaru Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive. The only exception in the lineup is the rear-wheel-drive BRZ sports coupe, which is built specifically for lightweight track handling.

2. How does the Subaru Solterra electric SUV perform in winter weather? +

The Solterra combines 100% electric power with Subaru’s proven Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive and Dual-Function X-MODE with Hill Descent Control. Recent Solterra updates also feature enhanced fast-charging with battery preconditioning and access to North American Charging Standard (NACS) Supercharger networks, making cold-weather road trips significantly more convenient.

3. Does Subaru offer hybrid options? +

Yes! Subaru offers hybrid powertrains across popular models like the Forester Hybrid and Crosstrek Hybrid, blending legendary capability and AWD confidence with enhanced fuel economy for city and highway driving.

4. What is Subaru EyeSight® Driver Assist Technology? +

Subaru EyeSight® is an advanced safety suite that uses dual stereo cameras mounted near the rearview mirror to monitor traffic movement, optimize cruise control, and warn you if you sway out of your lane. Features include:

  • Pre-Collision Braking
  • Adaptive Cruise Control with Lane Centering
  • Pre-Collision Throttle Management
  • Lane Keep Assist
5. What are the recommended maintenance intervals for my Subaru in Chicagoland? +

Because of local climate extremes, road salt, and stop-and-go driving, local service technicians recommend following a 6,000-mile or 6-month maintenance schedule. Key routine steps include:

  • Oil & Filter Changes: Every 6,000 miles.
  • Tire Rotations: Every 6,000 miles to preserve even tread depth across all four tires and protect the AWD system.
  • Undercarriage Washes: Regular cleaning during winter months to prevent salt corrosion on brake lines and exhaust components.

Disclaimer: We always advise you to refer to your Subaru's owner's manual for exact information.
