Subaru Baja
Here you will find yearly U.S. sales figures for the Subaru Baja. The Subaru Baja was a unique and unconventional vehicle in Subaru’s lineup, blending the characteristics of a compact pickup truck with the traits of a passenger car. Produced from 2002 to 2006, the Baja was an effort to capture a niche market of consumers looking for a versatile and sporty utility vehicle.
Subaru Baja Overview
The Subaru Baja was a sport utility vehicle (SUV) produced by Subaru from 2003 to 2006. It was based on the Subaru Legacy Outback, but it had a unique pickup bed design. The Baja’s design was heavily influenced by Subaru’s Outback wagon, but with an open bed in the rear, similar to a pickup truck. Its four-door, four-passenger layout was aimed at providing car-like comfort, while the small cargo bed offered added utility.
The Baja was powered by a 2.5-liter four-cylinder engine that produced 165 horsepower and 163 lb-ft of torque. It was mated to a four-speed automatic transmission. The Baja was a unique vehicle that offered the best of both worlds: the off-road capability of a pickup truck and the comfort and amenities of an SUV. However, it was not a sales success, and Subaru discontinued it after three years. The Baja had a unique pickup bed design that was shorter than a traditional pickup bed, but it was wider and deeper. This made it ideal for carrying cargo that was too wide or too tall for a traditional car trunk. The Baja had good off-road capability thanks to its raised suspension and all-wheel drive system. It could handle light trails and gravel roads with ease. The Baja was surprisingly comfortable and well-equipped for an SUV. It had a spacious interior with plenty of legroom and headroom. It also came standard with features like a sunroof, power windows and locks, and a stereo system.
