Subaru Hybrid vs. Non-Hybrid: Key Pros and Cons
When choosing between a Subaru Hybrid and a traditional gas model, it helps to compare the benefits and trade-offs.
- Hybrid Pros: Better fuel efficiency, lower emissions, access to short electric-only driving, smoother performance, and the same trusted Subaru AWD capability.
- Hybrid Cons: Higher upfront cost, limited all-electric range, reduced cargo space due to the battery, and potentially higher maintenance complexity.
- Non-Hybrid Pros: Lower purchase price, simpler powertrain, more cargo space, stronger towing, and familiar Subaru performance.
- Non-Hybrid Cons: Less fuel-efficient, higher emissions, no electric driving option, and no eligibility for eco-incentives.
