I was casually reviewing an article on the new Subaru offering, and couldn’t help but notice that the central screen is an exact replica of the one used in the GX550. What do you guys think? A deeper dive reveals they actually adopted it from Lexus / Toyota. A bit surprised to see this, but lately it seems a lot of OEMs swap parts from each other. Appears that our Lexus’s are not that exclusive as I once considered.
2026 Subaru Trailseeker uses Lexus GX550 Infotainment System! (1 Viewer)

The 2026 Subaru Solterra/Trailseeker/Uncharted are twins of the Toyota BZ/BZ Woodland/C-HR and Lexus RZ. These refreshed Subaru and Toyota co-developed EVs have the current common Lexus screen setup (it’s already very similar to the current Toyota setup anyway and is on the way out… see the upcoming next gen version on the new RAV4 and ES).
Not sure how it would be too surprising anyway given the current Lexus interface in the GX, RX, TX, etc (14” screen) is basically identical to that of Toyotas with the 12.3” infotainment, just with the HVAC being persistently on screen instead of separate buttons.
I am not sure who does the software on these infotainments but they are miles behind the competition.
They’re literally miles behind on fuel economy too
Yea no kiddingThey’re literally miles behind on fuel economy too
I am averaging like 16mpg and premium gas only. Good thing I still have my tesla for daily commutes.
Interesting
Seriously! It feels like a lot of the buttons don’t even need to be constantly visible on the screen.
There should at least be a way to toggle them on or off.
