May has arrived, meaning that once more, it’s graduation season in Macon. Whether your loved one is graduating high school or college, it’s a time for both teary farewells and exciting new chapters. But to get to where they want to be, the graduate in your life will need a trustworthy vehicle.
If you’re looking to purchase your graduate a new car or SUV, you’ll want to focus on a few key factors: fuel economy, storage space, technology features, and – most importantly – safety. Whether they’re leaving for college or setting off for post-graduate adventures, you’ll want to ensure your child is prepared for what lies ahead.
For maximum peace of mind, consider gifting them one of the following two Kelly Blue Book-approved Subarus. You’ll find them in stock at Subaru of Macon: Bibb County’s headquarters for new graduates.
The 2024 Subaru Crosstrek
The Crosstrek has been Subaru’s best-selling vehicle over the past 24 months, and it’s easy to see why. Newly redesigned, the 2024 Crosstrek is the rare vehicle that excels equally both on- and off-road. If you’ve got a graduate looking to do some backpacking or explore the country before embarking on their next chapter, you can’t go wrong with the reliable Crosstrek.
With a strong fuel economy and numerous connectivity options, the Crosstrek stays on-grid even when it’s going off-road. Blind-spot monitoring with rear cross-traffic alert is available, and every Crosstrek comes standard with Subaru’s EyeSight Driver Assist Technology. This suite of advanced safety features includes:
- Forward collision warning
- Automatic emergency braking with pedestrian detection
- Adaptive cruise control
- Lane-departure warning
- Lane-keeping assist
The 2024 Subaru Legacy
Every Subaru Legacy comes standard with all-wheel drive, making it ideal for campuses that regularly see snowy fall semesters. If you’re looking at schools up in Michigan, New England, or upstate New York (ed: Go Bombers), the 2024 Legacy might not be the sexiest option – but it’s hard to beat when it comes to practicality.
That extends to the roomy cabin, which boasts both ample cargo space and rear-seat legroom. This makes transporting your graduate’s stuff to and from campus a breeze – and should endear them to any fellow students in need of a ride. The Legacy also sports a combined-driving fuel economy of 30 miles per gallon, even with AWD.
The 2024 Legacy is an IIHS Top Safety Pick, and like in the Crosstrek, the EyeSight bundle is included standard even with base trims.
