Subaru: overview of prices for cars of the Japanese manufacturer

The cost of Subaru cars varies depending on the model and equipment. Prices for new Subaru cars in Europe start at about 25,000 euros for the XV compact crossover and can reach 60,000 euros for the top versions of the flagship sports sedan WRX STI or large crossover Ascent.

The buyer needs to know that the final cost of the car of this brand is influenced by several factors:

• The model and its modification. The rates for different models of the brand differ significantly. For example, an Outback model crossover will cost much more than a Forester.
• Equipment. Here the pattern is as follows - the richer the configuration of the car, the higher the price of the car. The equipment may include such additional features as panoramic roof, leather upholstery, parking assistance system, multimedia system and so on.
• Engine. The more powerful the engine, the higher the price. Its type - petrol, diesel or hybrid - is also important.
• Transmission. Cars with manual transmission, as a rule, are more affordable than automatic.
• Region. The cost of a Subaru car can vary greatly in different countries, regions and cities.
• The year of manufacture and generation of a particular model of the car. The cost of new cars is always higher than used cars.

If we are talking about used cars, the final cost is influenced by such factors as:

• the condition of the car,
• mileage,
• the presence of tuning,
• frequency of service,
• accident history.
