Make the change to an eco-friendly ride and feel better about your contribution towards a healthier environment every time you're out on the road. The latest and greatest vehicles currently on the market are all-electric and hybrid options, giving you the unique opportunity to reduce your carbon footprint while traversing the road ahead. Subaru stands at the forefront of this forward-thinking engineering with two sought-after and highly-anticipated models entering the lineup: the 2022 Crosstrek Hybrid and the one-of-a-kind 2023 Solterra, taking honors as the first all-electric vehicle offered by Subaru.

There's a lot of benefits outside of environmental impacts when choosing a greener ride - not only do you have the potential to counter costly gas prices with fewer trips to the pump, but you have the potential for offsetting the initial price point with tax exemptions and government incentives. You may even save on maintenance and repairs over time as the mechanics behind hybrid and all-electric powertrains differ from traditional gasoline-powered engines, resulting in a different maintenance schedule to keep your Subaru going strong. Enjoy better performance and regenerative braking alongside reducing C02 emissions. The only way to know for sure if green engineering is the right fit for you is to try it out from behind the wheel. When you're ready to test drive a hybrid or all-electric model stop in to Shingle Springs Subaru and see why eco-friendly mechanics are the way of the future.

Care for the Environment with Subaru

Subaru cares for the environment, and here at Shingle Springs we are proud to be part of a movement towards a greener tomorrow. Hybrid and all-electric vehicles help offset dangerous C02 emissions in the air, but there's more to reducing our carbon footprint than refined engineering tactics. We are proud to hold certification as a Subaru Eco-Friendly retailer in these five categories: energy efficient, water conservation, recycling, waste management and community involvement. As a Subaru dealership, we know we're part of something bigger.

Subaru is designated as a Backyard Wildlife Habitat by the National Wildlife Foundation, a groundbreaking step in 2003 that made Subaru the first assembly facility to receive recognition. With over 800 acres of preserved land, many species now have a safe place to call home including snapping turtles, bald eagles, red-tailed hawks, and so many more. Subaru also took the forward-thinking step with "zero landfill" status in 2004, once again becoming the first brand to do so. Beyond these recognitions, the Subaru Share Love Garden and countless donations to food banks makes Subaru a brand that cares about more than just automotive prowess. Hybrid models are a featured staple to Subaru, as one of the first brands to introduce greener options including the Crosstrek, Outback, Forester, and more.
