Looking for an SUV that’s both eco-friendly and budget-friendly? You’ve chosen well by coming to Giles Subaru.

What Makes Subaru Models Fuel-Efficient?
SUBARU BOXER® Engines
This is where the magic happens. With a horizontal layout that balances power and efficiency, the SUBARU BOXER® engine allows drivers to take corners confidently and gives Subaru models quick, responsive handling. On top of this, the engine’s horizontal layout also contributes to fuel efficiency, since it requires less drivetrain components. In comparison, transverse or perpendicular engines include more components which reduce their efficiency.


Lineartronic® CVT
A Continuously Variable Transmission (CVT) differs from a conventional automatic transmission due to the fact that a CVT doesn’t use fixed gear ratios as it pushes power from the engine to the wheels. This innovative design allows a CVT to continuously shift between gears while you drive, which improves your vehicle’s overall fuel efficiency.
All-Electric Excellence
Ready to leave the gas pump in the past? We can help with that. Subaru offers an all-electric vehicle, the all-new 2023 Subaru Solterra, which runs completely on electricity and creates zero emissions. This model has an impressive 228 mile all-electric range3 and can be charged quickly at home or on the go. With more electric models on the horizon, we can’t wait to see how Subaru breaks boundaries with future electrified vehicles.
