Subaru Corporation is a Japanese automaker that designs and sells passenger cars and SUVs. Its most well-known models include the Outback, Forester, Crosstrek, and Impreza. Subaru is known for putting all-wheel drive as a standard feature on nearly all of its vehicles, which sets it apart from most other car brands.

Subaru makes money by selling vehicles through dealership networks, primarily in the United States, Japan, Australia, and Canada. The U.S. market is by far its largest, accounting for the majority of its revenue, which makes the company unusually dependent on a single country compared to other global automakers. Subaru's main competitive edge is its loyal customer base built around all-wheel drive capability and a reputation for durability, but the company faces real pressure from the industry-wide shift to electric vehicles, where it currently has a limited lineup and will need to invest heavily to keep up with rivals.
