Hybrid Research

Subaru has long been committed to protecting the natural world for future generations, and their various initiatives show how seriously they take that mission. This commitment isn't just about conservation; it shapes the way Subaru builds vehicles.

Our hybrid and EV lineup at Bowser Subaru brings the same philosophy to the road: efficient, low-impact driving without compromising the capability, comfort, and confidence you expect from Subaru. On this page, you'll find an in-depth look at our current and upcoming hybrid models, from the all-electric Solterra to the Forester Hybrid, so you can explore which Subaru hybrid is right for your journey around Pleasant Hills, Pittsburgh, and Clairton, Pennsylvania.

Hybrid vs. EV: Understanding the Difference

Subaru hybrids and EVs both help reduce emissions and fuel use, but in different ways. Hybrid models pair a gas-powered SUBARU BOXER® engine with electric motors. This combination improves fuel efficiency and provides electric-assist performance. EVs on the other hand run entirely on electricity.

Subaru EVs produce zero tailpipe emissions, require no oil changes, and can be charged at home or at public charging stations while on the go. They also feature optimized cold-weather charging with a battery preconditioning system, ensuring fast charging even in winter.

No matter the powertrain, Subaru's Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive is standard, so traction and control are always part of the equation whether you're navigating city streets or off-road trails.

Subaru Forester Hybrid

Efficiency meets everyday practicality in the Forester Hybrid. It delivers up to 40% better fuel economy than the standard gas model while retaining Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive for traction and confidence in all conditions.¹

The interior features a 12.3-inch digital gauge cluster and 11.6-inch tablet-style multimedia system with wireless Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto^™, keeping drivers connected and informed with intuitive controls.

Subaru Uncharted

The Uncharted represents Subaru's next step into high-performance electrification. With up to 338 horsepower, a 0–60 mph time under 5 seconds, and fast-charging from 10% to 80% in about 30 minutes, it delivers both excitement and practicality.² The Uncharted also offers an estimated range of over 300 miles, while the vehicle remains highly maneuverable, with a turning radius nearly identical to the Crosstrek.³

Inside, a 14-inch touchscreen interface and dual wireless device chargers combine convenience with cutting-edge design, making Uncharted an EV ready for both thrill and everyday life.
