Subaru Electric Vehicles in Grand Rapids

Subaru Hybrid and Electric Vehicle Options

The Subaru lineup features one hybrid, and it is the Subaru Crosstrek Hybrid. It's a traditional hybrid that uses regenerative braking to power the electric motor and works with your gas engine to give you greater efficiency.

For the 2023 model year, the new 2023 Subaru Solterra will arrive and it is set to be the automaker's first electric crossover. You're going to find it functions fully on electric power, has all modern amenities and provides a standout driving range before needing a charge. As the years progress, you can also expect many other Subaru hybrid vehicles or EV models to come through, and we look forward to those with anticipation.

How Do Hybrids and EVs Work?

A traditional hybrid pairs an electric motor with a gas engine and gives you added driving range as they work together to provide the most efficient use of fuel. For plug-in hybrids, the technology is the same, but these offer the ability to drive with a limited all-electric range that can be recharged by the braking system over time, or a charger that you plug in.

With electric cars, there's no gas engine, as the electric motors power the vehicle and to recharge, you plug it in to get the electricity it needs to run. This can be done at charging stations in public, work, or at-home setups to give you a convenient experience and no more trips to the gas station for fuel.
