If you are planning to purchase the latest Subaru XV Crrosstrek or Forester, now is the best time to do so. This is because there is a chance for both vehicles to come out with a higher price tag in the future.
The possibility of the price hike arises after Subaru is forced to build a plug-in hybrid to comply with California’s state rules. With the new regulation, Subaru will have to fork out a whopping $780 million just to develop cleaner powertrains.
With time being very limited, there is a chance for Subaru to not recover their big investment. Hence, this will force the carmaker to raise the prices of its other vehicles.
Subaru might be a carmaker but it is also a corporation. No company would like to see their profit margin taking a step backwards so the only way out for Subaru is to raise the prices of its products.
