How Subaru Hybrids Work

Subaru Hybrid vehicles bring the power of electrification to an already impressive lineup of capable and reliable vehicles. The Subaru brand has had a history of innovative new electrified engines, including the previous Crosstrek Hybrid, which was a plug-in hybrid electric vehicle, and the current Subaru Solterra, an all-electric variant that runs on powerful rechargeable batteries and produces no harmful emissions. This year, you can look forward to new traditional hybrids joining the lineup - the perfect balance between efficiency and convenience that provides a practical option for drivers who want an eco-friendly vehicle without needing to change their driving habits or manage charging sessions.

Plug-In Hybrid Electric Vehicles

Plug-in hybrid electric vehicles (PHEVs) use a similar setup as traditional hybrids except that their batteries are much larger to provide all-electric driving mode and need to be plugged in manually to recharge and regain their all-electric range. However, unlike battery-only, pure-electric vehicles, when they run out of charge, they will simply switch over to gas or traditional hybrid mode. It's a great alternative to an electric-only vehicle if you are worried about range anxiety.
