Subaru wait times in 2023: How long are Subaru’s delivery delays?

After a new Subaru, but not sure how long you'll have to wait?

Issues such as semiconductor chip shortages, shipping problems and sickness and isolation have affected the ability of manufacturers like Subaru to keep their production lines going over the last three years.

As such, all of the Japanese brand's models are currently experiencing some delays.

However, some models are in greater supply than others, with flexibility around powertrains, specification and vehicle colour likely to see a vehicle in your driveway sooner.

Overall, according to Price My Car, the average wait time for a Subaru is now 92 days – compared to 90 days in January 2022.
