Subaru factory warranty
New Subaru vehicles typically come with basic coverage for 3 years or 36,000 miles and powertrain coverage for 5 years or 60,000 miles, whichever comes first. Coverage starts on the date the vehicle was first sold. Terms can differ by model year, so confirm yours in the warranty booklet or with a Subaru dealer.
What to know about covering a Subaru
Every Subaru except the BRZ has all-wheel drive, and most pair a boxer engine with a continuously variable transmission. That adds differentials, a center coupling and axles to the list of parts worth covering.
