The Subaru Exiga is one of those clever family movers that quietly earns a loyal following, especially among drivers who want seven-seat practicality without giving up the confident feel of a Subaru wagon. Launched in Japan in 2008, the Exiga blended the low centre of gravity of Subaru’s horizontally opposed Boxer engine with the sure-footed grip of Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive, making it a smart choice for wet roads, weekend getaways and school-run duties alike. Its tall glasshouse, theatre-style seating and panoramic cabin feel gave passengers excellent visibility, while the flexible interior made it easy to switch between people carrying and cargo hauling.

For Australian owners and import enthusiasts, the Exiga is particularly interesting because it sits somewhere between a Liberty wagon, a Forester and a people mover, yet has its own distinct personality. Turbocharged variants brought surprising performance, sharing spirit with Subaru’s more enthusiast-focused models, while later versions such as the Exiga Crossover 7 added SUV-inspired styling. A neat piece of Subaru trivia is that the Exiga name is believed to combine “exciting” and “active”, which suits its practical but adventurous character. At Automotive Superstore, we help Exiga owners keep that versatility alive with quality service parts, filters, brakes, suspension components, wiper blades, lighting, roof racks, detailing products and accessories designed to suit everyday driving, touring and family use.
