Base

Worth it

The Base trim provides essential features and Subaru's renowned all-wheel-drive system at a relatively accessible price point for an electric vehicle.

Limited

Worth it

Touring

Probably skip

While the Touring trim offers luxury enhancements like a panoramic sunroof and upgraded interior materials, the significant price increase may not justify the benefits unless these features are a top priority.
