Does Subaru have dual climate control?
Yes. In Subaru’s current lineup, dual-zone automatic climate control is commonly available, especially on mid- to high-trim models. Base trims may rely on manual climate control or a single-zone system, depending on the year and model. Availability can vary, so it’s best to verify the exact specification for the year you’re considering.
Understanding how climate control appears across Subaru’s lineup
Subaru tends to equip its newer models with dual-zone automatic climate control as a standard feature or at least as an option in higher trims.

If you’re shopping, check the window sticker or talk to a dealer for confirmation on the exact year and trim.
