Where is the Subaru Crosstrek made?

I’ve always believed in the quality and longevity of Japanese-made cars, and I want to get a used Subaru Crosstrek for this reason. I just wanted to check where the Crosstrek is made since I would prefer a car that’s made in Japan. Where is the Subaru Crosstrek made?

We have some good news for you! The Subaru Crosstrek is made in Japan, specifically at the Yajima manufacturing plant in Ota, Gunma.
When looking at used cars, you can also confirm where it is made by looking at the first few characters of the vehicle identification number (VIN). A code will tell you the vehicle’s manufacturer.
The characters JF1 represent cars manufactured in Japan, and 4S3 represent Subarus manufactured in the U.S.
Before you start looking, here are some
tips on buying a used car
you’ll love for years to come:
  • Comparison shopping: check prices and specs of available used Crosstreks from different dealers to find the best value—similar models may be priced differently
  • Vehicle history: check to see if it has any liens or recalls or was involved in any accidents in the past
  • Inspect the car: check if there is anything suspicious about the structure of the car, keeping an eye out for any rust or paint damage
  • Warranty status: is there a warranty left on the car and is it transferable?
  • Test drive: get a feel of how the car drives and pay attention to any potential issues, such as weird sounds and smells, and vehicle alignment
  • Consult a professional mechanic: before you buy the car, you can hire an independent and reputable mechanic to inspect the car.
