Subaru SUVs by Size: Smallest to Largest

SUVs are more popular than ever, and this trend isn’t slowing down any time soon. An important reason for this, besides their utility, reliability, and comfort, is that they come in multiple shapes and sizes. There’s an SUV for everyone, regardless of your needs and preferences. Subaru’s 2026 SUV lineup perfectly reflects that, with adventurous gas models, efficient hybrid options, and all-electric SUVs to choose from. Keep reading to learn more about all of them, from smallest to largest.

Subaru Crosstrek

Although the Subaru Crosstrek is Subaru’s smallest SUV, it still has enough room to comfortably fit up to five people and their cargo. It’s an ideal vehicle for navigating crowded urban traffic and cruising down highways with family and friends. As you’d expect from a Subaru, the Crosstrek is also a competent off-roader, equipped with standard all-wheel drive (AWD), which can add a whole new dimension to your weekend adventures.

The Crosstrek is 176.4 inches long, 70.9 inches wide, and about 62.8 inches tall, depending on configuration. Its cargo area provides practical room behind the second row, with more space available when the rear seats are folded. For 2026, the Crosstrek lineup also includes a Crosstrek Hybrid, giving shoppers a more efficient way to enjoy the same right-sized SUV personality. Since the hybrid version is the same basic size as the standard Crosstrek, it fits into the lineup as another great option for drivers who like the Crosstrek’s compact footprint but want an electrified powertrain.

Subaru Uncharted

The all-new Subaru Uncharted brings a sporty all-electric option to the smaller end of the Subaru SUV lineup. It is slightly longer than the Crosstrek, but it still has the compact feel that makes a vehicle easy to drive around Orlando, park in busy areas, and use every day. Its fastback-inspired design also gives it a distinctive look compared to the more traditional SUV shapes in the Subaru family.

The Uncharted is 177.8 inches long, 73.6 inches wide, and 63.8 inches tall. It seats up to five passengers and gives drivers the quiet, quick, and responsive feel that comes with an electric powertrain. Available Subaru Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive helps it stay true to the brand’s all-weather confidence, while its electric layout makes it a strong fit for shoppers who want something efficient, modern, and easy to live with. For drivers who like the Crosstrek’s compact size but want a fully electric SUV, the Uncharted is a smart model to consider.

Subaru Forester

Sitting between the smaller Crosstrek and the larger Outback, the Subaru Forester is one of Subaru’s most popular gas-powered SUVs. As with all other Subaru SUVs, the Forester’s excellent off-roading ability sets it apart from similarly sized vehicles from other brands. It does so with the help of its AWD system and extra ground clearance, while available adventure-focused features and rugged trim options can make it even more capable for drivers who enjoy weekend trips, camping, or exploring beyond the pavement.

At 183.3 inches long, 72 inches wide, and 68.1 inches tall, the Forester gives shoppers a great balance of maneuverability and interior space. It’s larger and more upright than the Crosstrek, but it still feels easy to drive every day. The 2026 lineup also includes the Forester Hybrid, which gives drivers another way to enjoy the Forester’s useful size, open cabin feel, and Subaru confidence. Since the hybrid version is the same basic size as the gas-powered Forester, shoppers can focus more on the powertrain, efficiency, and driving feel they prefer.

Subaru Solterra

The Subaru Solterra was Subaru’s first electric vehicle, and it continues to give shoppers an all-electric SUV with the kinds of qualities they expect from the brand. It has a confident AWD feel, useful ground clearance, and a roomy interior while also offering the smooth, quiet driving experience of an electric powertrain. For Orlando drivers who want to reduce gas stops and enjoy a more modern daily drive, the Solterra is a compelling option.

The Solterra is 184.6 inches long, 73.2 inches wide, and 65 inches tall. That places it close to the Forester in overall length, though it has its own unique EV layout and driving personality. It provides a practical cargo area behind the rear seats and seating for up to five passengers, making it a useful choice for commuting, errands, weekend drives, and everyday family needs. It also comes with a long list of infotainment and safety features to help keep everyone entertained and confident throughout the journey.

Subaru Trailseeker

The all-new Subaru Trailseeker expands Subaru’s electric SUV lineup with a larger, adventure-ready EV. It is bigger than the Solterra and built for drivers who want electric performance without giving up the utility and confidence they expect from a Subaru SUV. With standard Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive and a more spacious layout, the Trailseeker feels like a natural fit for shoppers who want an electric SUV for commuting during the week and exploring on the weekend.

The Trailseeker is 190.8 inches long, 73.2 inches wide, and 65.9 inches tall. That makes it one of the larger two-row SUVs in the Subaru lineup, giving it plenty of flexibility for passengers, cargo, and active lifestyles. Its all-electric powertrain helps deliver quick response, while its SUV proportions make it useful for road trips, beach days, camping gear, and family outings. For shoppers comparing Subaru’s electric options, the Trailseeker offers a roomier, more adventure-focused alternative to the Solterra and Uncharted.

Subaru Outback

The Subaru Outback was one of the first-ever crossover SUVs. Although most automotive companies followed, there’s nothing quite like the Outback in the automotive market. It has long blended the comfort and easy drivability of a wagon with the confidence, cargo flexibility, and ride height of an SUV. The result is a unique vehicle with lots of passenger and cargo space that fits a wide variety of drivers.

The Subaru Outback is significantly longer than most Subaru SUVs, stretching about 191.7 inches long. It’s also 74 inches wide and about 67.5 inches tall with roof rails, depending on trim. That generous footprint helps create excellent interior room, even for taller passengers, along with a spacious cargo area for luggage, sports equipment, beach gear, or supplies for a weekend away. The redesigned 2026 Outback also gives shoppers a more upright SUV profile while keeping the adventurous, practical spirit that has made the Outback such a recognizable part of the Subaru lineup.

Subaru Ascent

If you need more than the five seats that most vehicles provide, the Subaru Ascent may be the ideal vehicle for you. It can comfortably seat up to eight passengers in its three rows of seats while staying true to Subaru’s tradition of providing excellent off-roading ability for its SUVs, with standard AWD and plenty of ground clearance. It’s a great option for larger families, frequent carpoolers, and drivers who want extra passenger flexibility without leaving the Subaru lineup.

The Ascent is Subaru’s longest, widest, and tallest SUV. It’s 196.8 inches long, 76 inches wide, and 71.6 inches tall with roof rails. It also has useful cargo space behind the third row, which can be increased significantly if you fold the second and third rows. That makes the Ascent especially helpful for family road trips, airport runs, school activities, and weekend plans that require both seating and storage. It can also tow up to 5,000 pounds when properly equipped, which gives it an added layer of capability for drivers who need to bring extra gear along for the ride.
