Subaru is suddenly all-in on hybrids with a new Forester hybrid and a Crosstrek hybrid on sale in 2025, but they aren't stopping there. All rumors point to the upcoming redesign of the Outback also sporting a hybrid whenever it lands this year. Fuel economy improvements are more modest than in some hybrids, but Subaru retained the off-road capability the brand has become known for.  VW's ID. Buzz might just be the ultimate electric family hauler, as long as you're OK with teh range which isn't huge. With Lexus the news is big, as in LX-sized big. For 2025 the LX 700h launches, which is the hybrid version of the LX 600 we've seen for a while. The main feature here is that Lexus has built in a failsafe mechanism to bypass the hybrid motor should anything go wrong.  Nissan and Honda's relationship is on the rocks. That lasted about as long as Elon's average relationship.
