Why Choose Subaru?

There are many reasons to choose a Subaru, starting with its dynamic all-wheel drive system. This system is included throughout the lineup, customized for particular models and driving conditions, rather than taking a one-size-fits-all approach.

The symmetrical design of Subaru's all-wheel drive system is one of its main characteristics, promoting a steady and well-balanced driving experience via even power distribution. Essentially, the system distributes power to all four wheels, in contrast to other brands that employ on-demand all-wheel drive systems. As a result, Subaru’s vehicles offer improved traction, stability, and control, especially in difficult driving circumstances like snow, rain, or uneven terrain.

The most prevalent type of Subaru's all-wheel drive technology—Active Torque Split AWD—is present in a number of its vehicles; in response to variables like wheel slippage, acceleration, and deceleration, it modifies the torque distribution between the front and rear axles. Additionally, Variable Torque Distribution (VTD) All-Wheel Drive—available on Subaru models that focus on performance—leans toward the rear wheels for a more dynamic driving experience; this system can actively modify the torque distribution between the front and rear axles depending on the driving conditions.

Finally, X-Mode—a function specifically for off-road and difficult terrain—maximizes traction and control by adjusting engine output and transmission ratios; this is especially helpful in scenarios involving steep descents or inclines. But while the all-wheel drive system gives you the confidence you need to travel both on the road and off it, it isn't the only reason to choose a Subaru...

Subaru Love Promise

Subaru Love Promise is a charitable endeavor by the automaker dedicated to improving the world by funding several philanthropic ventures and neighborhood-focused initiatives. Spreading love and fostering experiences for others are the cornerstones of the Subaru Love Promise. There are five pillars within this initiative, focusing on the environment, health, education, pets, and community.

To create sustainable actions that focus on these pillars, Subaru works with various partners, such as the National Park Foundation, Make-a-Wish, AdoptAClassroom.org, BARK, and Feeding America, to name a few. This promise has been a mainstay for the Subaru brand since 2008, giving owners the chance to give back to the charity of their choice. After fifteen years, the Subaru Love Promise has donated more than $256 million to charity, including over 2,100 hometown charities.

Subaru TradeUp Advantage Program

When you own a Subaru, you’re entitled to exclusive benefits, such as the Subaru TradeUp Advantage Program, whose personalized offers enable you to upgrade your vehicle for less than you might expect; you also get a new comprehensive warranty that helps lower maintenance costs. Our team can explore this program if you’re a current Subaru owner, or they can answer questions about it if this is your first Subaru purchase.

Subaru Guaranteed Trade-In Value Program

Another program that assists you in an upgrade from your current Subaru to a new model is the Subaru Guaranteed Trade-In Value Program. This program was created to provide Subaru owners with the best possible trade-in value, so long as they've owned their current vehicle between twelve months and eight years. Qualified vehicles need to check certain boxes—such as total miles in relation to the model year—and be in good working order, free from existing or previously repaired collision damage.

Now that you know some compelling reasons to choose Subaru, consider how today’s lineup fits your needs. Subaru offers SUVs, commuter cars, performance models, and fewer emissions, as well as a range of Wilderness vehicles designed for tackling adventure head-on.

Sedans and Coupes

It’s wise to have a reliable car to get you from Point A to Point B, especially if you need to commute into the city a few times a week. Subaru’s longest-running car options are the Impreza and the Legacy, both of which give you and your passengers generous leg and headroom, along with some of the latest safety and technology in the industry.

The Impreza's function-friendly hatchback design makes it easy to load and unload cargo, while the Legacy—Subaru’s four-door sedan—is a smart investment when upgrading to a new vehicle. If you like to feel the power of speed and responsive handling as you navigate the twists and turns of the Hudson Valley, the Subaru WRX or BRZ might be more to your liking. Our team can explore these performance-inspired options with you, answering any questions you might have.

SUVs

Subaru’s best-known vehicles might fall into this category, which includes the Subaru Crosstrek, Forester, Outback, Ascent, and the all-electric Solterra. The smallest in the bunch is the Crosstrek, but the amenities it provides make it seem much larger than it is. For instance, the Crosstrek gives you exceptional traction control thanks to the aforementioned AWD system, as well as significant ground clearance for handling rugged terrain. There’s also a re-tuned engine for the 2024 model year that provides even better power and responsiveness.

In the middle of the pack are the Subaru Outback and the Forester. Each of these, along with the Crosstrek, is also available in the Wilderness series. Both models give you dynamic driver assistance features and outstanding connectivity options. You and your passengers will also enjoy options to customize your Forester or Outback, giving you the ability to haul a small trailer or even a kayak to enjoy the Hudson River Greenwater Trail.

The Subaru Ascent is the newest and biggest SUV in the lineup, allowing you to fit up to eight passengers. It has many of the same great features offered throughout Suburu's SUV lineup, along with generous cargo space to haul whatever you need. Finally, the all-electric Solterra gives you the best that Subaru offers, along with the distinction of being the first all-electric SUV with standard Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive. We have each of these SUVs in stock, giving you the opportunity to check them out in person. In our showroom, our team can also explore the amenities that each option provides, ensuring you get the one that matches your needs, wants, and lifestyle best.
