Do all Subarus meet California emissions standards?

Subaru and California Emissions Standards
Subaru vehicles are designed to meet California emissions standards, and they offer Partial Zero Emissions Vehicle (PZEV) certified models such as the Legacy, Outback, and Forester, which are available for sale anywhere in the U.S. These PZEV vehicles meet California’s Super-Ultra-Low-Emission Vehicle exhaust emission standard and have 90% cleaner emissions than the average new vehicle. Additionally, all Subaru vehicles with a 2.5-liter naturally aspirated engine meet the stringent Super Ultra Low Emission Vehicle exhaust emission standard (SULEV) .
Subaru’s PZEV vehicles are classified as the cleanest-running gasoline-powered cars on the market and are developed to meet the air quality standards of California, which are the most stringent in North America. These vehicles must meet the Super Ultra Low Emissions Vehicle (SULEV) tailpipe standard and have zero evaporative emissions. CARB requires zero fuel evaporative emissions in order to qualify for PZEV. It’s important to note that Subaru PZEV vehicles are sold in all 50 states with the same strict requirements.
In summary, all Subaru vehicles are designed to meet California emissions standards, and the PZEV certified models are available for sale anywhere in the U.S., including California.
