Top Winter Accessories Your Subaru Needs This Season

Subaru vehicles are built to handle winter better than most — but the right accessories can make cold-weather driving even safer, cleaner, and more comfortable. With snow, ice, road salt, and freezing temperatures all part of a Wisconsin winter, preparing your Subaru properly can make a huge difference in how it performs and how well it holds up over time.

Whether you drive an Outback, Forester, Crosstrek, or Ascent, these winter accessories are must-haves for the season.

1. All-Weather Floor Mats

Snow and salt are brutal on vehicle interiors. All-weather floor mats are one of the simplest and smartest winter upgrades you can make. Subaru-designed mats are custom-fit, easy to clean, and protect your carpets from moisture and corrosion.

Why they matter in winter:
✔ Trap snow, slush, and salt
✔ Prevent interior wear and staining
✔ Easy rinse-and-go cleanup

2. Winter Tires

Subaru’s Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive helps you get moving — but winter tires help you stop and turn. Cold temperatures cause all-season tires to stiffen, while winter tires remain flexible for better grip on ice and packed snow.

For Wisconsin drivers, winter tires are one of the biggest safety upgrades you can make.

Perfect for:

• Ski and snowboard gear
• Winter boots and coats
• Groceries and sports equipment

4. Remote Start

Few things beat stepping into a warm Subaru on a freezing morning. Remote start allows you to warm the cabin, defrost windows, and melt ice before you even open the door.

5. Roof Rails & Cargo Boxes

Winter travel often means bulky gear. Roof rails and cargo boxes give you extra space while keeping the cabin uncluttered and safe.

Ideal for:

Subaru-designed cargo solutions are aerodynamic, secure, and built for winter use.

6. Emergency Winter Road Kit

Even the best winter vehicle should be prepared for the unexpected. A winter emergency kit is essential for peace of mind.

Recommended items include:
✔ Ice scraper and snow brush
✔ Jumper cables or battery booster
✔ Flashlight
✔ Blanket or extra clothing
✔ Tire inflator or sealant

7. Battery & Wiper Blade Check

Cold temperatures are tough on batteries and wiper blades. Replacing worn blades and checking battery health before winter can prevent frustrating breakdowns.
