Essential Subaru Accessories for Your Next Road Trip

Gear Up for Adventure with the Right Subaru Accessories

There’s something undeniably thrilling about a road trip in a Subaru. Whether you’re following coastal roads, winding through the Drakensberg, or heading deep into the Karoo, a Subaru delivers more than just comfort—it delivers confidence.

But as every seasoned traveller knows, it’s the gear you bring along that turns a good trip into a great one. That’s where Subaru’s accessories come in. Tailored for real-world adventure, they’re designed to make every journey safer, tidier, and more enjoyable.

And if you’re driving a Subaru, chances are you’re not the type to settle for ordinary. From exploring the showroom to hitting the gravel, Subaru is built for people who think differently—and travel better.

Must-Have Accessories for Every Subaru Road Trip

Comfort & Convenience Accessories

Let’s start with the basics that elevate comfort and keep your vehicle clean—even when the road doesn’t cooperate:

• Rubber mats – These rugged mats are made for mud, sand, and everything in between. Perfect for families, pets, and post-hike boots. 
• Cargo organisers – No one wants to fish out their spare chargers from a pile of snacks. Keep gear sorted and secure with smart storage solutions. 
• Sunshades and window visors – Keep the cabin cool and cut the glare on those long, sun-soaked drives. 

Safety & Emergency Accessories

You’re only as prepared as your toolkit:

• First-aid and roadside emergency kits – A no-brainer for every trip. Think plasters, jumper cables, and those must-have roadside triangles. 
• Tyre repair kits and portable jump starters – Because cell reception isn’t guaranteed where the best views are. 

Adventure & Outdoor Accessories

For when your boot isn’t big enough:

• Roof racks and cargo carriers – Whether it’s a surfboard, kayak or extra bags, get more gear to more places with less stress. 
• Tow hitch kits – Haul trailers, bikes, or a caravan. The right hitch kit can completely change how you travel. 
• Portable power stations – Charge your tech, inflate your mattress, or run your fridge—all off-grid.
