Subaru Automatic Transmission
Subaru vehicles use different types of automatic transmissions, depending on the model and year. Here are the key points to note:
– Subaru introduced a Continuously Variable Transmission (CVT) for some of its models, starting with the 2014 Forester. The CVT allows the engine to operate at a lower speed, resulting in better fuel economy. It also provides a smoother ride compared to conventional automatic transmissions.
– The CVT is available on all 2020 Subaru models, except for the WRX STI and BRZ.
– From 2010 to 2014, automatic transmission was discontinued as an option for all Subaru models, except for the BRZ.
– As of the 2024 model year, manual transmission will only be an option for the WRX and BRZ.
– The Subaru Performance Transmission with automatic downshift blipping control is available on the 2024 WRX, offering the convenience of an automatic with paddle shifting and an 8-speed manual mode.
Please note that the specific transmission used in each Subaru model may vary, so it’s always best to refer to the official Subaru website or consult with a Subaru dealer for the most up-to-date and accurate information.
