We love wagons, don't we?

JCOTY praised the Subaru Global Platform that “provides a high level of both maneuverability and comfort”, the newly developed direct injection turbocharged engine with good drivability, the up-to-date interior, and the precise “EyeSight X” ADAS system.

While EyeSight is standard on all variants, higher trim levels will net buyers EyeSight Plus or EyeSight X, both of which come with extra tech such as a 360° camera and advanced cruise control that supports hands-off driver assistance at low speeds.
