2026 Model Redesign Year

The popular Crosstrek, which is essentially a raised Impreza hatchback posing as a subcompact SUV, is once again available as a hybrid. An electric motor backed by a larger battery augments its 2.5-liter flat-four engine, paired with an eCVT and full-time all-wheel drive. Total system output is 194 hp compared to 180 hp for the regular Crosstrek. Fuel economy improves by 6 mpg to 35 mpg overall. Arguably, the biggest benefit of the Crosstrek's hybridization is its improved low-speed drivability, thanks to its smooth electric shove off the line. Otherwise, most Crosstrek virtues remain, including a comfortable ride, responsive handling, mostly simple controls, and a practical but basic interior.

The cabin is roomy, and in Subaru SUV tradition, it's easy to get into and out of. The front seats are comfortable and supportive, and the driver's seat comes standard with power operation and two-way lumbar support. The rear seat is relatively spacious.

2019 Model Redesign Year

The Crosstrek delivers very good fuel economy and impressive ride comfort, along with competent handling that makes it enjoyable to drive on curvy roads. A plug-in hybrid provides a 17-mile mostly-electric range, and 33 mpg when operating as a regular hybrid, is also available. But such the mileage improvement and the price premium don't make it a good value over the regular Crosstrek. The standard 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine is mated to a continuously variable transmission; this combination works fine and gets 29 mpg overall, which is among the best for small SUVs. A more powerful 2.5-liter is available and has stronger acceleration. The front seats are short on lumbar support, but the rear seat is roomy.

The infotainment system is easy to use. FCW and AEB with pedestrian detection, BSW, and RCTW are all standard for the hybrid. The Crosstrek Hybrid stopped production for the 2024 and 2025 model years.
