Subaru prides itself on manufacturing world-class, reliable vehicles that foster safety and outdoor adventures. The automaker was honored in May 2023 by having five vehicles awarded the lowest five-year cost-to-own marks from Kelley Blue Book, a vehicle locator and valuing service known for its comprehensive vehicle pricing guides. Look at the 2023 Subaru vehicles that made the list so you can decide which Subaru belongs in your Temecula garage!

2023 Subaru Forester

The 2023 version of the Subaru Forester has a five-year cost-to-own value of $37,367. This figure takes into account auto loans, insurance, repairs, and maintenance costs using Kelley Blue Book’s algorithms and third-party data. Even better, the Forester’s number is $3,635 less than the industry average for other compact SUVs.

2023 Subaru Outback

The Subaru Outback is even more impressive as a two-row midsize SUV. Its five-year cost-to-own figure is $41,222. That’s a whopping $8,772 less than the average for the segment. So, get ready for more off-road adventures and family road trips with the Outback!

Why Are Cost-to-Own Values Important?

Kelley Blue Book compiles these rankings to let consumers know which vehicles have the lowest costs to own over five years to give them a chance to gauge how much to budget for buying these new vehicles. The number takes into account insurance, auto loans, and regular maintenance (tires, oil changes, brakes, spark plugs) that vehicles may need over the course of their first five years of ownership.

Individual results for your temecula drives will vary.
