Subaru: The Ultimate Choice for Outdoor Enthusiasts in Edmonton

For those who crave the outdoors, having a reliable vehicle is essential. Subaru has long been a top choice for adventurers. The brand offers models designed to handle diverse terrains and weather conditions. At Subaru City in Edmonton, Alberta, we understand outdoor enthusiasts' needs. We proudly offer a range of Subaru vehicles built for adventure.
 

Unmatched All-Wheel Drive Capability

One of Subaru’s best features is Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive (AWD). It comes standard on most models. This system provides excellent traction and stability. You can confidently drive through snow, mud, and gravel. These conditions are common in Alberta’s diverse landscape. Whether heading to the Rockies or tackling forested trails, Subaru’s AWD keeps you in control.
 
Unlike other AWD systems, Subaru’s is proactive. It distributes power to all four wheels at all times. This improves handling, balance, and grip. It also means better performance on dirt roads, icy highways, and rugged trails. No matter where adventure takes you, Subaru is ready.
 
Subaru’s AWD system is also beneficial in extreme weather conditions. When the roads become slick with ice or rain, the system ensures better stability. Drivers can confidently tackle unpredictable environments without sacrificing performance. This makes Subaru a top pick for those who enjoy year-round outdoor exploration.
 

Elevated Ground Clearance for Rugged Terrain

Ground clearance is crucial for off-road travel. Subaru delivers with models like the Outback and Forester. These vehicles offer impressive clearance to handle rocky paths, deep snow, and muddy trails. The Outback Wilderness and Forester Wilderness have even more clearance. They are perfect for reaching remote destinations with ease.
 
Higher ground clearance protects your vehicle’s undercarriage from damage. That means you can explore rough trails without worry. Whether setting up camp in the wilderness or driving to a remote fishing spot, Subaru vehicles will get you there.
 
Additionally, Subaru’s ground clearance pairs well with its X-MODE technology. This system optimizes engine output, transmission, and braking for better control. The result is a smooth ride over uneven terrain, giving adventurers the confidence to explore further than ever before.

At Subaru City, we offer adventure-ready models. Here are some of the best choices:
 

2025 Subaru Outback Wilderness

The Outback Wilderness is built for adventure. It features increased ground clearance, all-terrain tires, and rugged cladding. Roof rails allow you to mount kayaks, bikes, or a rooftop tent. The spacious interior gives you plenty of room for gear. The infotainment system keeps you connected, even in remote areas.
 
A 2.4L turbocharged SUBARU BOXER engine powers the Outback Wilderness. It delivers 260 horsepower and 277 lb-ft of torque. This power is perfect for towing small trailers or off-road travel. Subaru’s X-MODE enhances traction with deep snow and mud settings. That means better grip in extreme conditions.
 
Additionally, the Outback Wilderness offers enhanced approach and departure angles. This means you can take on steeper inclines without worrying about scraping the front or rear of the vehicle. Whether tackling rough trails or navigating through deep snow, the Outback Wilderness is a trustworthy companion.

 

2025 Subaru Crosstrek

For a compact yet capable SUV, the Crosstrek is a top pick. Its nimble handling makes it great for both city and off-road driving. Subaru’s Symmetrical AWD and X-MODE give it strong stability.

The 2024 Crosstrek has a redesigned chassis. This provides better ride quality and off-road capability. A 2.5L engine with 182 horsepower ensures strong performance. Whether cruising highways or tackling dirt trails, the Crosstrek is ready.
 
Additionally, the Crosstrek features a hill descent control system. This feature is useful when descending steep inclines, as it helps maintain a controlled speed without excessive braking. The combination of compact design, rugged capability, and safety features makes the Crosstrek a great adventure vehicle.
