A six-speed manual transmission comes standard on most trims, with Subaru’s Performance Transmission available on Limited and standard on the GT. Notably, all 2026 models now include EyeSight Driver Assist Technology regardless of transmission choice, and pricing has dropped across the board compared to outgoing models.
