At this point, it’s way too early to talk about details. Still, we may presume some of the most basic things about the new 2021 Subaru Baja Truck. We presume it would stick to the original design and feature a unibody layout, as well as a compact size. Naturally, standard AWD in a combination with a new turbo-four would be the combination we want to see as well. However, the company is still quiet about this model, so take the following paragraphs with a reserve.

2021 Subaru Truck Design

As we’ve just mentioned, the possible comeback would probably mean sticking to familiar design solutions. Therefore, Subaru Pickup Truck 2021 would come with a car-like, unibody platform. Of course, we are thinking of the company’s new modular architecture, which underprints pretty much everything that came from this Japanese manufacturer recently. The original model had a lot of things in common with the Outback and Legacy. So, we may expect the same thing from the new model.

Such a design approach means all the benefits of a unibody design. If you are familiar with Honda Ridgeline, which features such layout, you know that the driving experience is way superior compared to traditional BoF trucks. This truck handles better, it’s more comfortable and more fun to drive.

Exterior Design

When it comes to the exterior layout, one of the first things we should talk about is the size. As we’ve already mentioned, Honda Ridgeline is the only model at the moment with the layout we expect to see on the new 2021 Subaru Truck. However, the new Subaru will probably be notably smaller, most likely compact in size, just like the original model. This means it will probably compete with another compact unibody truck, Hyundai Santa Cruz.

In terms of the styling, we have no doubt that the new model would stick closely to the brand’s new design language. Count on a front end that looks largely the same as models like Outback, Ascent etc. However, be sure that the 2021 Subaru Baja Pickup Truck will also come with a couple of its own details. When it comes to body styles, we are pretty sure that a double cab layout will be the only one in the offer.

Interior

This is where we definitely don’t expect to see surprises. The 2021 Subaru Truck would feature pretty much the same cabin design as related Subaru models, particularly Legacy and Outback. That’s definitely a great thing, considering that the recent redesign of these models has brought significant improvements in all aspects, including more attractive aesthetics, finer materials and much more opulence in total. We expect the same from this model, which also means loads of standard equipment, especially in terms of standard safety features.

As we already mentioned, we expect the new model will come in a double cab layout. The front seats will definitely be spacious and comfortable, while the second row should be decent, adult-friendly as well.  Behind the cabin, you may count on a cargo bed, which won’t be too big for sure, but should be practical enough for all kinds of daily tasks.

2021 Subaru Truck Engines

This aspect shouldn’t bring any surprise, as we count on two familiar engine options in the offer. Base models would come with a familiar 2.5-liter four-cylinder unit, which puts around 182 horsepower and comes in pair with CVT. Such amount of power would be enough for daily rides, while a good fuel economy would be one of its strong points. Theirs is no need to mention that AWD will be standard across the whole lineup.

On the other side, the higher trim level would probably come with a new 2.4-liter turbo-four. It has been introduced with the new Ascent a couple of years ago. It is a pretty efficient unit, which features a max output of 260 horsepower and 277 pound-feet of torque, which is the power that provides excellent driving dynamics, even in much heavier vehicles.

2021 Subaru Truck Release Date and Price

At this point, the 2021 Subaru Truck is just a rumor. However, many rumors suggest this model might arrive already in the next year. At this point, the company is still quiet, so take these rumors with a reserve. If it arrives, we presume that base models would go around 30.000 dollars.

As you may presume, the new truck will share a lot with the existing Subaru crossover, the new Ascent in particular. The two models will be similar in size, with the same aesthetics, interior design, engine etc. Still, we count on a couple of distinctive details as well.

2020 Subaru Pickup Truck Design

When it comes to base design characteristics, the 2020 Subaru Pickup Truck will definitely have a lot of interesting things to offer. First of all, there is a platform. Unlike traditional pickup trucks, this one will ride on a unibody platform. That is something we can already see on Honda Ridgeline, so advantages and disadvantages of such design are obvious.

The new truck won’t be as capable as more traditional rivals, such as Toyota Tacoma or Chevy Colorado. On the other side, it will offer a superior level of comfort, with a spacious cabin and crossover-like ride quality. Speaking of crossovers, it seems obvious that the new 2020 Subaru Pickup will be in a tight relationship with the new Subaru Ascent, a mid-size SUV that instantly became one of the best mid-size SUVs around.

The two models will share a lot of things, starting from many parts of the exterior design.

2020 Subaru Pickup Truck Exterior

When it comes to the exterior design, we have no doubt that the 2020 Subaru Pickup Truck will be a mid-size truck. Therefore, we are pretty sure it will feature the same wheelbase as the Ascent. The two models will share most of the mechanics, as well as many aesthetical solutions. The latter particularly refers to the front end of the vehicle. Count on the same design language, so things from the bumper to B-pillar should be pretty familiar.

The rest of the vehicle should come in a typical truck manner, though the bed capacity will probably be sacrificed for a bit, in order to provide excellent cabin comfort. Speaking of the cabin, the 2020 Subaru Pickup Truck definitely won’t come in a single cab or similar workhorse layout. We will see a large and spacious crew cab layout, which will provide a high level of comfort.

Interior

Once again, we expect a lot of influence from the new Ascent. Practically, we count on the same dashboard layout, which looks very stylish in the mid-size SUV and features pretty high overall quality. All materials seem great, while the list of standard equipment is impressive. This doesn’t refer only to tech goodies, but to an impressive list of safety features as well. We presume that the 2020 Subaru Pickup Truck will come with similar specs in these aspects. That would mean we can count on standard safety features like rearview camera, lane departure warning, lane keep assist, adaptive cruise control, pre-collision braking and many more.

Normally, the 2020 Subaru Pickup won’t feature three rows of seats, but rather just two. Both rows will be spacious and comfortable, while the driver’s seat will also come with a lot of adjustability options. All in all, this should be one of the nicest cabins in the class.

2020 Subaru Pickup Truck Engine

This is probably the most certain thing about the 2020 Subaru Pickup Truck. Without any doubt, the new truck will feature the company’s new turbo-four engine, characterized by excellent efficiency. It a 2.4-liter turbo engine, which is good for about 260 horsepower and 280 pound-feet of torque. As you can see, the power is pretty much on par with V6 engines.

On the other side, fuel economy is comparable with four-cylinder engines, so there is no doubt that the 2020 Subaru Truck will be one of the most efficient trucks in the class. For example, the Ascent returns around 21 mpg in the city and 27 mpg on the road, which are pretty decent ratings. Additionally, there is a chance to see a performance version, with more power and various other upgrades. We presume this model would come as the 2020 Subaru Baja Pickup Truck.

Release Date and Price

Although we are still waiting to hear something from the officials, the new 2020 Subaru Pickup Truck could easily come already in the next year. When it comes to the price, base models will probably go around 30.000 dollars.
