Which Subaru models are most likely to last 250,000 miles and more? An updated iSeeCars study now says three all-wheel drive Subaru models are among the longest-lasting new car list.
Subaru is known for making all-wheel drive vehicles, but how long will they last? An updated iSeeCars study ranks the cars, trucks and SUVs most likely to last 250,000 miles and beyond, and three Subaru all-wheel drive vehicles are the top models that will last the longest.
In last year’s study, no Subaru model ranked among the best. However, this year, the 2023 Subaru Outback midsize SUV, 2023 Subaru Legacy midsize sedan, and 2023 Impreza compact car make the updated iSeeCars list.
iSeeCars says the average vehicle has only an 11.8 percent chance of lasting 250,000 miles. However, the updated iSeeCars.com study identified the most durable cars, trucks and SUVs most likely to reach a quarter million miles or more.
iSeeCars.com established its industry-leading Most Durable Car Study in 2013. The 10th anniversary research looked at more than 260 million cars sold between 2012 and 2022 to determine which cars were most likely to survive high mileage.
Subaru Outback
The mid-size Subaru Outback is ranked as the eighth most likely SUV to exceed 250,000 miles. iSeeCars says the Outback has a 22.3 percent chance of lasting 250,000 miles and beyond. The overall average for SUVs is fifteen percent, making the Subaru Outback 1.5 times more likely to pass the 250,000 mile mark.
The Subaru Outback was also ranked among the twenty-five longest-lived vehicles, including cars, SUVs and trucks. The average for all vehicles is 11.8 percent. Additionally, the Outback (22.3%) ranks twenty-first and is 1.9 times more likely than all cars to travel 250,000 miles and beyond.

The Subaru Legacy is ranked as the fifth most durable car, most likely to exceed 250,000 miles and beyond. iSeeCars says the Legacy sedan has a 16.2 percent chance of lasting 250,000 miles and beyond.
