Subaru's AWD system would be perfect for Indian monsoon conditions and hill stations. But at these prices, it will remain a niche product here. Wish they'd introduce more affordable models for Indian buyers.

👍 Great to see hybrid technology improving! With Indian government pushing for electric and hybrid vehicles, more options like this would be welcome. The fuel efficiency improvements could really help with our high petrol prices.

The safety upgrades are impressive, but I'm concerned about after-sales service and parts availability in India. Subaru dealerships are limited here compared to other brands. Hope they expand their service network if they want to compete seriously.

The 2.5L engine upgrade is nice, but in Indian city traffic, will the fuel economy suffer? Most of our driving is stop-and-go in congested areas. The hybrid makes more sense for our conditions, though the price is steep.

The Citrus Yellow Pearl color on the hybrid is quite bold! Reminds me of auto rickshaws 😄 But seriously, the 360-degree camera and enhanced safety features would be very useful in tight Indian parking situations and chaotic traffic.
