MY LAKESHORE SUBARU'S GUIDE TO
Hybrid vs. Electric Vehicles
As more Michigan drivers look for smarter, more comfortable ways to get around, Subaru continues to lead with innovative hybrid and electric vehicle (EV) options. Whether you live in Nunica, Grand Haven, Muskegon, Holland, or Grand Rapids, now is the perfect time to explore how Subaru's advanced lineup can enhance your lifestyle. From quiet, all-electric power to smooth, efficient hybrid performance, there's a Subaru designed to make every drive more relaxing and enjoyable.
Subaru Electric Vehicles
Subaru's all-electric lineup brings innovation and capability together. EVs run solely on rechargeable batteries, delivering a quiet ride, instant acceleration, and zero emissions.
Subaru currently offers the Solterra and the Trailseeker, two all-electric SUVs built for adventure.
• Solterra: Up to 227 miles of range, instant torque, and standard AWD.
• Trailseeker: Extended range up to 260 miles, advanced tech, and a spacious cabin.
Both models make it easy to charge at home or at one of the growing number of public charging stations across West Michigan.
Subaru Hybrid Vehicles
Hybrid technology captures energy during braking and coasting, using it to recharge the battery. This helps you drive farther on less fuel, great for commutes through Muskegon or road trips beyond Grand Rapids. Plus, you'll still enjoy the capability Subaru is famous for, including AWD and confident handling in Michigan weather.
Subaru hybrids like the Crosstrek Hybrid and Forester Hybrid are ideal for drivers who want better fuel economy without fully committing to electric charging. They seamlessly switch between gas and electric power, maximizing efficiency and performance.
Electric vs. Hybrid Cars: A Direct Comparison
Choosing between a Subaru hybrid and a Subaru EV depends on your driving habits, sustainability goals, and budget.
EVs are fully electric, producing zero tailpipe emissions and requiring no gasoline. Hybrids combine gas and electric power,
giving you the best of both worlds, fuel savings with the flexibility to fill up anywhere.

Performance Metrics
• EVs: Deliver instant torque, smooth acceleration, and quiet operation. With a low center of gravity, they handle corners and curves effortlessly.
• Hybrids: Offer flexible power for every drive, combining responsive performance with excellent fuel economy.
Cost of Ownership
While EVs can cost more upfront, they often have lower long-term maintenance and fuel costs, no oil changes, less brake wear, and cheaper charging vs. gasoline. Hybrids typically have a lower initial cost and still help you save at the pump.
Both Subaru hybrids and EVs may qualify for federal or state incentives, adding more value for drivers across Nunica and the Lakeshore area.
Carbon Footprint Comparison
Subaru EVs produce zero tailpipe emissions, making them the cleanest option.
Hybrids reduce fuel use and lower emissions compared to gas-only vehicles. Both options align with Subaru's commitment to sustainability and zero-landfill manufacturing practices.
Future Trends in Subaru Electrification
Exciting new models are on the horizon for Subaru's electrified lineup. The 2026 Trailseeker and 2026 Uncharted EVs offer extended range, advanced technology, and Subaru's signature all-wheel-drive capability.
