The proactive strategy taken by Subaru in submitting 12 adventurous trademark applications to the USPTO is intriguing as it suggests an exciting expansion of the company's lineup with a strong off-road focus. This action demonstrates Subaru's dedication to satisfying its customers' spirit of adventure. The brand's off-road vehicle products have a bright future ahead of them, according to the trademarks.

Subaru's Latest Lineup Buzz

According to CarBuzz, AutoGuide has first brought attention to Subaru's registration of 12 captivating names, such as Accomplice, Everguide, and Hightrail. This move suggests the potential for a new range of off-road-centric vehicles or elevated trim levels in the lineup.

Notably, these adventurous monikers may signify an expansion of Subaru's Wilderness package, possibly introducing even more rugged and capable variants across their model range.

Autoevolution reported that a recent update from Japanese publication Best Car, it appears that an electric iteration of the Forester is on the horizon. This electric variant purportedly differs from the upcoming three-row SUV and the bZ4X-related Solterra, as it's believed to be a Subaru designed entirely in-house. While details about this decision remain elusive, Best Car's insight seems to align with Subaru's broader electrification strategy.

Notably, Subaru has outlined plans for in-house BEV production at the Yajima plant starting in 2025, with Oizumi also preparing for BEV manufacturing between 2026 and 2028. These improvements signify a major change in Subaru's manufacturing towards electric vehicles, setting the company up for huge output even if an internally built electric vehicle has not yet been revealed.

By 2026, Subaru wants to sell 200,000 battery-electric vehicles. Subaru intends to work with Toyota Motor Corporation to source the high-voltage batteries in order to do this. The concept of an electric SUV the size of a Forester is very appealing, and many people are wondering if Subaru would develop it independently or with Toyota's assistance.
A stunning 700-kilometer driving range may be achievable, according to Best Car's speculation, which represents a hopeful development in electric car technology. This potential range surpasses the EPA-rated 400 miles (644 kilometers) of the Rivian R1S Dual-Motor Max Pack for the US market, showcasing Subaru's commitment to delivering competitive electric vehicles.

2025 Subaru Forester

The forthcoming electric vehicle from Subaru, potentially named the Forester EV, occupies a distinctive position between the Solterra and the larger family-oriented model within the brand's electric lineup. Notably, all three upcoming electric utility vehicles are SUVs, reflecting Subaru's commitment to electrifying its popular crossover range.

As per Car and Driver, the 2025 iteration of the compact Forester SUV marks a significant overhaul, representing the model's sixth generation. With a focus on enhanced passenger space and a quieter ride compared to its predecessor, which debuted in 2019, this update promises a refreshed driving experience. While the exterior design embraces modernization, the core attributes that underpin the Forester's enduring appeal remain intact. Each Forester variant retains the hallmark flat-four engine, all-wheel drive capability, a continuously variable transmission, and ample ground clearance suitable for moderate off-road excursions.

Furthermore, its compact dimensions ensure garage compatibility and effortless maneuverability in bustling urban settings, distinguishing it from larger three-row SUVs like Subaru's own Ascent and positioning it favorably against its competitors.

Given the mid-size dimensions characteristic of a crossover like the three-row Ascent, it's plausible that Subaru is also gearing up for a sub-Solterra model with dimensions akin to the Crosstrek, further expanding the brand's electric vehicle offerings.
