Frequently Asked Questions

Find answers to commonly asked questions about Hybrid Vehicles.

  • Q What is a hybrid car?

    A hybrid car pairs a petrol engine with an electric motor and a small battery, which helps to trim fuel use and reduce tail pipe emissions. Power comes from the engine, the motor, or both. In a strong hybrid such as the Subaru Forester Hybrid, the electric motor is powerful enough to drive the car on electric power alone for short distances - unlike mild hybrids, which only assist the engine.

    Subaru's new strong hybrid system pairs this technology with symmetrical AWD.

  • Q How do hybrid cars work?

    Hybrid cars recover energy when you brake. That is then stored in a battery, which switches on to assist the engine with electric power.

  • Q How do hybrids differ from electric vehicles?

    A hybrid car is a vehicle that combines a conventional internal combustion engine with an electric motor. Whereas an electric car is a vehicle that runs solely on electricity, using one or more electric motors for propulsion.

  • Q What is Subaru's Strong Hybrid e-Boxer?

    A 2.5-litre Boxer Engine paired with a 90 kW electric motor and 1.1kWh battery. For the Subaru Forester Hybrid models, this delivers a 145kW combined power with instant torque and quiet take-off.

    This system allows for electric-only driving at low speeds.

  • Q What is a Mild Hybrid?

    A mild hybrid uses a small electric motor and battery to support the petrol engine, improving efficiency during acceleration and stop-start driving. However, it can't power the vehicle on electricity alone.

  • Q Do I need to plug in a Subaru hybrid?

    No, Subaru's hybrids are self-charging via regenerative braking.

  • Q How is Subaru's hybrid different from others?

    Subaru's new strong hybrid technology delivers AWD traction without losing electric assistance from the hybrid engine.

  • Q What range can I expect?

    A 1,000km[8] range in the all-new Subaru Forester Hybrid thanks to the next generation, strong hybrid system. The Subaru Crosstrek Hybrid can achieve roughly a 700km[8] range on a full tank.

  • Q Can I tow with a Subaru hybrid vehicle?

    Yes, Subaru hybrid models are capable of towing, though their limits are more modest than non-hybrid variants. The all-new strong Subaru Forester Hybrid models are rated for a braked towing capacity of 1,200 kg[9]. While the Subaru Crosstrek Hybrid models support towing with a braked towing capacity of 1,270 kg[9]. Towing capacity is subject to regulatory requirements, tow bar and vehicle design and towing equipment limitations. Requires fitment of optional tow bar accessory. Ask your Retailer for details of Genuine Subaru tow bar capacity and availability details. Always refer to your Owner's Manual for towing instructions. Learn more about towing
