The first impression of Subaru would give you plenty of reasons not to get one. Very restrained design, mediocre reliability ratings and a CVT transmission. However, this niche automaker has been showing an upwards trend in sales numbers for the past dozen years and if it weren’t for the lockdowns, yet another record could have been smashed. If you need reasons to explain this success, well these cars do the job and they leave buyers happy, especially those who value passenger safety and a near legendary symmetrical all-wheel drive. 2021 won’t be a revolution for Subaru, but it will make their models better and today we would like you to get acquainted with new models and enhancements to your favorites!

#1 2021 Subaru Crosstrek
Subcompact crossover segment is marching strong on those markets where people are giving up on the compact city cars but are not ready to embrace huge models so popular in North American. The Crosstrek, also known as XV elsewhere attracts customers.
#2 2021 Subaru Levorg STi Sport
2020 was the first year when the new generation of the Legacy Revolution Touring AKA Levorg station wagon was launched on the home and certain international markets. The next step for the newcomer is the introduction of the sporty STI Sport trim.
#3 2021 Subaru Forester
On the North American market, the Forester remains the fan favorite model for the suburban drivers who enjoy occasional adventures on the on the beaten paths. The European market version in turn, abandons pure internal combustion engine and lets hybridization take over.
#4 Subaru Gymkhana STI
Subaru Gymkhana STI is the most outrageous and extreme version of the WRX STI model, that will be starring in the viral Gymkhana video series this year. The car is dressed in all-new carbon fiber bodywork with wind-tunnel tested aerodynamics. Under its hood sits a custom-built Boxer engine paired with a new hood exit exhaust.
#5 2021 Subaru Ascent
We will be welcoming the Subaru Ascent facelift in 2022, but for now the model remains in its usual guise, though adds some safety tech into the mix.
#6 2021 Subaru Outback
Last year, the company introduced the all-new Subaru Outback that started the six-generation of the thirty year old nameplate. We did not expect huge changes for the second year of its run, but Subaru boosted standard features list to persuade those who are considering the entry-level trim. Now standard across the range are Steering Responsive LED headlights, rear-seat reminder system and passengers’ seatbelt warning.
#7 2021 Subaru Impreza
2021 changes for the Subaru Impreza hatchback mostly relate to upper-level models: the Premium trim now comes with SI-Drive engine management that adds two driving modes, while the Sport gets an updated rear spoiler.
#8 2021 Subaru Legacy
This will be the 32-nd model year for the Legacy, which currently exists in its 7th generation introduced in 2020. This year the 2021 Subaru Legacy mid-size sedan takes full advantage of the Global Platform to become safer, quieter, roomier and offers new safety tech.

“Mediocre reliability” :/
What are you talking about, with your opening comments? Funny
The Outback Onyx Edition and the Impreza Sport Sedan are the best models they have.
Does anybody know what the yellow, STI-badged Subaru is pictured at 0:07 seconds into this video?
Utter shite
A whole lot of what this guy says, makes no sense at all.
i hate the new headlight design of impreza and forester
My CVT transmission moans terribly with only 90,000 miles on it. I bought this car for the long-haul and now I am second guessing myself
Subarus are very reliable
Tip: Never listen an advice for buying a car, from a guy who's well over 30 and sounds like he is still rolling a scooter. Get your facts straight queerie
What a waste of time. When will you make a real sports car
Am I the only one who finds this new anglular, uneven-shaped headlights design UGLY?
Subaru, please scrap the new design and bring back the old one!
Another observation on CVTs. In Australia we only see Japanese built Subarus. I’ve had many new Subarus and have never heard of a CVT problem on any vehicle of any age. This country experiences temps between -12 and 50 degrees Celsius so climate is not an issue with these vehicles. I had a friend with a new KIA Sorento, a nice solid SUV, in the same environment the gearbox lasted 10K km and had to be replaced. I’ve never heard of a Japanese Subaru gearbox needing replacement. Just sayn
Everyone’s experience is different. Mine with Subaru goes back 30+ years and includes 7 other brands including Fords and GMs. I’m glad you’ve had good experiences with US made Fords but they’re a totally different car to an all weather all terrain vehicle like an Outback.
The nice thing about this video is that they show their ignorance right off the bat so you know you can skip the video and save yourself 11+ minutes. "mediocre reliability" lol
On top of having two Subarus in a row, first ,a 2008 Forester , now 2017 outback, my reliability has been stellar with both of them, on top of just being really wonderful cars to drive around in. I’m looking at a 2021 outback, and I couldn’t believe the resale offer from the dealership , even though I have 85,000 miles on it. It was thousands more than I would’ve gotten from a similar car from the big three from a dealer. Thanks Subaru!
The Subaru gymkhana 👍🏻🤟👏👏
CVT or automatic? Preferably manual, then. But that will soon be a thing of the past, I fear. The EV obsession in Europe will also help to ensure that Subaru's will soon be an extinct breed on the 'Old Continent'.
Same with my STI. That's why i bought another. But I keep them stock
medioca reliability ? You have no clue
Subaru is now part of Toyota. Quality and reliability should go up. Toyota wouldn't have touch Subaru even with stick if it was a bad thing to start with.
Id love to see a new forester smoke your v6 mustang
Imagine choosing to make a subaru awd💀. This dude too stoopid, its not optional
Subaru will always be the superior line
My WRX is and has been the most reliable car I've ever had/own and has modest amount of modifications
refreshed or rehashed. if you do buy a subaru have fun losing time to amount of recalls and problem that will pop up.
У нас цены будут х2
Subaru's are solid vehicles.
Clearly he may be seeing Subaru for the first time in his life. Subaru reliability has never been mediocre.
I sold cars for 10 years and worked mostly for Honda. To me its pretty simple. I have been leasing Subaru for 18 years now. I live in the Northwest where it rains 8 months out of the year and occasional snow. The Impreza hatchback has everything I need. I'm on my 6th one. I lease because I like to be always under factory warranty. By the way I am happy to say I have never had to use a mechanic. I have many friends that have 200,000 plus miles on there Subarus with almost no problems. There is no such thing as a perfect car but I think the Subarus are as close as you can get.
Who in their right mind says Subaru makes unreliable cars? If you mean heavily modified WRX/STi's sure
Subaru got such a boring line up
since when is a 1 off gymkhana wrx sti a consumer vehicle???
Subaru is the woderfull car! I can drive all the way.
Only car to be more un reliable is a BMW so mediocre reliable is most people experience but AWD and Safety makes up for maintenance
Hey Dude, Subaru is one of the most reliable cars in the world. More reliable then any other American car. Seriously Dude. You have no idea what your talking about.
Bring back the sti hatchback
mediocre reliability…."
??????
Levorg got so sexy
Life as Travis Pastrana must be good!!
The robot voice in this video is what is mediocre at best. Autos are crap too.
No passion
The reliability is insane. This vid trash.
