If you are looking for a spacious Subaru model, you will find many excellent vehicles to choose from. The growing lineup spans compact hatchbacks, crossovers, and three-row SUVs, making it challenging to know where each model fits. If you want more passenger space, extra cargo room, or simply need to understand the options, this guide breaks down the full lineup for drivers visiting Wackerli Subaru in Idaho Falls, ID. 

The Largest Subaru: Meet the 2026 Ascent 

The 2026 Subaru Ascent takes the top spot for size. As Subaru’s only three-row SUV, it gives larger families the seating they need. The Ascent utilizes a gas-powered platform and includes standard Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive for capable performance. It also provides the most cargo room in the brand’s lineup, giving you ample space for road trips or daily errands. 

How the Outback Compares 

Sitting just below the Ascent, the midsize 2026 Subaru Outback remains a highly popular crossover. It provides more capability than a compact SUV without requiring the footprint of a three-row vehicle. The Outback offers standard gas and Wilderness configurations. The Wilderness trim adds extra ground clearance and off-road capability, making it a strong contender for changing terrain and seasonal conditions. 

Compact SUVs: Forester and Crosstrek 

The 2026 Forester and 2026 Crosstrek serve as excellent compact SUVs. The Forester provides generous interior volume and headroom for practical passenger space in a manageable footprint. The Crosstrek offers a slightly more compact design, appealing to drivers prioritizing agility and efficiency. Both models feature gas, hybrid, and Wilderness configurations to match your driving needs. 

Smaller Options: Impreza, WRX, and BRZ 

The 2026 Impreza stands as a compact five-door hatchback, while the WRX delivers a performance-focused compact sports sedan experience. The BRZ completes the smaller end of the lineup as a rear-wheel drive sports car. These models prioritize driving dynamics and everyday urban practicality over maximum cargo capacity. 

Electric and Hybrid Models Worth Knowing 

Subaru offers a strong electric lineup for 2026. The Trailseeker is a midsize electric SUV similar in size to the Outback, featuring a battery range of up to 281 miles. The Solterra and Uncharted serve as compact electric SUVs, comparable to the Forester and Crosstrek. The Solterra delivers up to 288 miles of range, while the Uncharted provides an impressive 308 miles of battery range. Consumer Reports recently recognized Subaru for its exceptional reliability, reflecting the quality across all powertrain types.
