Subaru Australia has introduced drive-away pricing deals for selected variants across three of its best-known model lines.
Available now until October 31, 2026, discounts apply to all variants of the Impreza hatch, the entry-level version of the Crosstrek small SUV, and the base Forester mid-size SUV with both petrol and hybrid powertrains.
The Impreza is now available for $36,490 drive-away in AWD 2.0L guise, and $43,990 drive-away in top-spec AWD 2.0S trim, equating to a saving of roughly $5000 for both grades based on a New South Wales postcode. The base Crosstrek AWD 2.0L is also available for $38,990 drive-away.
The non-hybrid Forester AWD, meanwhile, is now available for $44,990 drive-away, and the Forester AWD Hybrid is listed at $46,990 drive-away. Those prices represent savings of up to $4000 and $5000, respectively.

Further, Subaru Australia is offering eligible finance customers a 3.99 per cent comparison rate for both the Impreza and Crosstrek. Finance applications must be approved by October 31, 2026 to be eligible.
Available in two grades, the Impreza's equipment highlights are detailed below. Both variants are powered by the same 2.0-litre non-turbo four-cylinder boxer engine producing 115kW of power and 196Nm of torque, with drive sent to all four wheels via a continuously variable automatic transmission (CVT).

Impreza AWD 2.0S adds:

The non-hybrid Crosstrek, meanwhile, is effectively a lifted version of the Impreza and maintains the same engine, transmission, and performance figures. Unlike its hatch counterpart, Subaru's drive-away pricing applies only to its base variant.

The Forester is the newest of the three, having entered its current generation in 2025. Like the Crosstrek, this drive-away deal applies to only its base variant, though it is available with both petrol and hybrid powertrains.
The non-hybrid powertrain comprises a 2.5-litre naturally aspirated flat four producing 136kW and 247Nm, while the hybrid adds an electric motor for an increased peak power output of 145kW. Both come with a CVT auto and all-wheel drive as standard.

These drive-away offers arrive alongside runout drive-away pricing for turbocharged XT variants of the previous-generation Outback. Available for 2025 model year vehicles, prices range from $55,990 to $59,990 drive-away and are applicable until October 31, 2026, while stocks last.
The deals come as Subaru Australia experiences a 26.2 per cent year-on-year decline in sales. All models, bar the recently updated Solterra electric SUV, are currently down on last year's sales figures.
The Forester is the Japanese brand's best-selling model locally, with 6642 deliveries so far this year, followed by the Crosstrek with 4821. The Impreza, however, continues to be among its slowest-selling models with just 485 deliveries so far in 2026.
Subaru drive-away pricing (until October 31, 2026):
