2027 Subaru Lineup Preview • Published September 2026
Subaru continues to push boundaries across its adventure-ready crossover and SUV family, anchored by standard Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive.

Features such as Pre-Collision Braking, Adaptive Cruise Control with Lane Keep Assist, and Blind-Spot Detection add extra security whether navigating East Wichita traffic or driving highway speeds across the state.
