Meet the Most Powerful Subaru Models
For drivers who have high demands, Subaru is the only option. If you’re going to the track, want the latest electric performance, or need a tow vehicle for your next weekend adventure, Subaru has you covered. We’re shining a spotlight on some of the best Subaru models for drivers who need more than just a vehicle that gets them from point A to point B.
Most Horsepower
The Subaru WRX STI didn’t gain notoriety by being average. That 2.5-liter turbocharged SUBARU BOXER® four-cylinder engine has been helping the WRX STI hold a top spot as one of the best performing sedan and hatchback models available. For 2020, the engine produces an outstanding 310 horsepower and 290 pound-feet of torque. Add in Subaru’s advanced traction control technology, like Active Torque Vectoring, Vehicle Dynamics Control, and Subaru Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive and you have a formula for a powerful car built to take on tight turns, on and off the track.
Most Towing Capacity
Say hello to the future of towing. The days of toughing it out in a barebones pick-up truck are over. The Subaru Ascent has a towing capacity of 5,000 pounds.* That’s plenty to haul a boat to the lake for a weekend getaway. Combine that with Subaru’s Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive and a Turbocharged SUBARU BOXER® engine, and you get 260 horsepower and 277 pound-feet of torque, so the Ascent can haul that load up a mountain, without breaking a sweat.
Cleanest Efficiency
Powerful efficiency is helping automakers lead the way into a sustainable future, and to answer that call, Subaru has created the Crosstrek Hybrid. This hybrid crossover is a plug-in hybrid that can charge from depleted to fully charged with a standard 120-volt outlet in about five hours—and even less with a 240-volt charger. You can choose to rely on all-electric power, charge your battery as you drive, or utilize battery saving mode to customize how this crossover helps you save money and lessen your impact on the environment. The Crosstrek Hybrid is just as stylish and capable as its gas-only variant, only with fewer emissions and less time (and money) spent at the pump.
Subaru isn’t just busy making some of the safest and most reliable vehicles on the road. It’s also creating vehicles that are at the apex of their segments and pushing the limits of performance. That’s why the team here at Herb Gordon Subaru is so proud to be a part of the Subaru family.

* Maximum towing capacity varies by trim level. Trailer brakes may be needed. See your retailer for details.
