PITTSFIELD, Mass. — Every Subaru model sold at Haddad Subaru is rugged, capable, and practical for everyday driving and adventuring alike, but a gas-electric powertrain takes things even further.

The most obvious reason that hybrids are preferable to gas-only vehicles is their greater fuel efficiency, but it goes well beyond that. They produce less emissions, which helps the planet, and you'll travel many more miles between fill-ups – and shrink your spending at the pump. Plus, the higher horsepower and instant torque you experience with electric motors compared to a
conventional gasoline engine makes a Subaru Hybrid zippy and fun to drive. A hybrid's advantage over an all-electric vehicle is clear as well. You never have to plug it in or worry about getting stranded because the battery power ran low and you couldn't find a charging station in time.

Right now, there are two gas-electric Subaru models in stock at Haddad Subaru – the compact Crosstrek Hybrid and the spacious Forester Hybrid – with the extra-rugged Forester Wilderness Hybrid set to make its debut this winter. Thanks to their gas-electric operation, either one of these well-equipped utility vehicles will provide nearly 600 miles of travel on a full tank of gas.
They have all the sought-after connectivity and safety features of the standard models, but the advantages mentioned above make the hybrid versions the clear winner on value.

Of course, as great as the Crosstrek and Forester are, there's more to the Subaru lineup. If another model is your favorite and you're dreaming someday having it with a gas-electric powertrain, your wait won't be long: the company plans to have a hybrid version of every model by 2030. Manufacturing efforts are currently being concentrated on that powertrain shift, as consumer demand leans more toward gas-electric than full-electric.

People near Pittsfield who are interested in cleaner and more efficient driving will find the 2026 Crosstrek Hybrid and the 2026 Forester Hybrid in stock at Haddad Subaru in a wide variety of trim levels and colors. As each exciting new Subaru Hybrid model is added in the coming years, we'll have those in stock as well. The entire Haddad team is focused on the customer experience and making sure it's not merely satisfactory but refreshingly different from what other dealerships offer.
