Subaru overview
Subaru is a Japanese car manufacturer. Founded in 1953, it is the automotive arm of the transportation conglomerate, Subaru Corporation.
The Subaru brand name – pronounced soo.buh.roo – came from Fuji Heavy Industries’ development of its first car, the P1, in the 1940s. Fuji Heavy Industries itself was borne out of the Nakajima Aircraft Company. Founded to focus its expertise on the production of motorcars. In a move to rename the development model P1, the CEO of Fuji Heavy Industries, Kenji Kita, landed on ‘Subaru’. Subaru is a six-star cluster in the Taurus constellation. Eventually, the P1 was renamed the Subaru 1500.
Subaru launched the 1500 in 1954, a year after it was established as a company. The Subaru 360 followed soon after. Since then, it has been well known for its ‘Boxer’ engine, an innovatively designed piece of engineering that enabled a low centre of gravity for its cars and improved safety in collisions. Conceptualised in 1965 the Boxer engine is still used in Subaru cars today.
Further cutting-edge designs saw Subaru make a name for itself in the rally world. It has a rich history in the sport includes six Championship titles along with the endorsements of iconic rally drivers Colin McRae, Richard Burns and Petter Solberg.
Having developed a broad selection of vehicles across its range, Subaru models cover family SUVs, sports cars and, as of 2019, self-charging hybrids.
Fellow car manufacturer Toyota owns a small stake in Subaru following a business collaboration in 2005. The two have collaborated on several models, including the Solterra, which was built at a Toyota factory. However, Subaru remains an independent company in its own right.
Popular Subaru models
Despite its racing reputation, it is Subaru’s family-oriented cars that often garner the largest popularity among car buyers. The Forester, a compact crossover SUV, is one of its most consistent performers on the market, while the Outback is highly popular with large car buyers.
The Subaru Forester has been in production since 1997 and is now in its fifth iteration. The Mk5 is the first of the line to offer a hybrid engine option; named the Forester e-Boxer.
The Outback has also been in production since the nineties. Not only is it currently in its sixth iteration, but a Sport version also went through three of its own generations – the latter ceasing production in 2011.
The Outback Sport is based upon what is arguably Subaru’s most iconic model: the Impreza. Produced from 1992, the Impreza is most commonly known for its rallying prowess. While the famous rally version, with its blue body, yellow details and gold alloy wheels, is perhaps its most well-known, the Impreza itself remains a popular compact family car. Its latest iteration, the Mk5, launched in 2023 as a five-door hatchback with hybrid technology.
Manufacturer awards
Subaru’s accolades go back decades. While its many rallying victories speak to its impressive manufacturing standards, the broad range of wins it has achieved in more recent years is a testament to its consistency. In 2020, Subaru was voted Best Manufacturer for Safety Features in the 2020 Driver Power survey for the second year running, demonstrating its family-friendly design both inside and out. In the 2023 4x4 awards, the Outback won Best Crossover Estate, while the XV model won the same award in 2021.
