Subaru vehicles are well-loved in the Libertyville area for their reliability and capability, but if you’re looking to maximize your efficiency for long commutes on I-94 or frequent trips across Lake County, you may be wondering: “Does Subaru make a hybrid?”
Given Subaru’s reputation for innovation and adventure, it’s no surprise that the brand has become a leader in electrified technology. By pairing legendary Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive with advanced hybrid systems, Subaru offers a lineup that delivers significantly improved MPG without sacrificing the rugged performance needed for Illinois winters. Whether you are navigating slushy suburban side streets or heading out for a weekend at the lake, these electrified models provide a smarter, more efficient way to explore Lake Forest and beyond.

As of this writing, there are Subaru hybrid versions of two of the automaker’s most popular compact SUVs. Both bring enhanced efficiency and capability to your Lake Bluff and Gurnee drives, but each of the Subaru hybrid SUVs offers some distinct specs and features.
The Crosstrek Hybrid pairs a Subaru BOXER® engine with electric motors and a high-capacity battery to increase both horsepower and fuel economy compared with non-hybrid Crosstrek models. Standard Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive and 8.7 inches of ground clearance help maintain the adventurous spirit of the Crosstrek, while the hybrid powertrain reduces emissions and minimizes fuel use. The Crosstrek Hybrid boasts a total driving range of up to 597 miles* per tank, making it a practical choice for everything from daily driving to longer road trips.
The Forester Hybrid is another electrified iteration of a much-loved compact Subaru SUV. Like the Crosstrek Hybrid, the Forester Hybrid retains the brand’s signature all-weather and off-road capability while providing up to 40% better city fuel economy than conventional Forester models. It has an impressive range of up to 581 miles* and comes in four well-equipped trim levels.
As you can see, Subaru does make a hybrid—two of them, in fact—and they’re both standouts in their segment. Contact us to schedule a test drive and see your preferred Subaru hybrid model in action. Whether navigating daily commutes, weekend getaways, or challenging weather or terrain, Subaru hybrids embody an unrivaled blend of performance, practicality, and sustainability.
