- Nappa leather seats
- 432-mile range
- Top Safety Pick+ on iihs.org
It’s the first Subaru we’ve ever owned. And it is cool…literally! All five seats are heated. But if that’s not enough…the front two breeze cool air through perforations in the seats!
It has been redesigned since last year to look boxier and more upright; more like a traditional SUV than a wagon, while offering a roomier experience. When I first saw it, I joked, “It looks like a Lego car!” It does though…doesn’t it?
Most excitingly, this may be my first car! Another thing I said when I first saw it was, “It’s like a dirt block!” It’s got deep green paint with a brown, leather interior. It feels very rugged and very luxurious!
It arrives from the factory sometime in June. It is the first new car we’ve ever purchased, and the first green car we’ve ever owned.
This is very exciting!
