The 1990 Subaru XT and XT6 were compact coupes that offered a unique blend of sporty handling and practicality, marking a significant departure from the typical Subaru image at the time. These models were built on the same platform as the contemporary Subaru Legacy, but with a lower roofline and a more aggressive, aerodynamic design. The XT was powered by a 1.8L turbocharged four-cylinder engine, producing a respectable 130 horsepower and 150 lb-ft of torque, while the XT6 sported a larger 2.2L turbocharged engine that generated 160 horsepower and 190 lb-ft of torque. This power, coupled with the lightweight construction of the cars, provided a surprisingly engaging driving experience, especially for the time.

The interiors of the XT and XT6 were spartan but functional, featuring comfortable cloth seats, a simple dashboard layout, and a standard five-speed manual transmission. While not necessarily luxurious, the focus on functionality and driver engagement resonated with enthusiasts. Both models were offered in various trim levels, including the base XT, the more luxurious XT L, and the sporty XT Turbo. Notably, the XT6 Turbo came equipped with a more powerful intercooler and a four-wheel drive system, further enhancing its performance capabilities. Though production ended in 1991, the 1990 Subaru XT and XT6 remain a testament to the brand's commitment to innovation and performance, leaving a lasting impression on the automotive landscape.
