A true benchmark in its class, the Crosstrek relies on its excellent all-wheel drive system and well-tuned suspension to handle any challenge, summer or winter. The 2.0-litre engine producing 152 horsepower has been discontinued, leaving only the 2.5-litre unit that delivers 180 horsepower. A more adventurous Wilderness model is offered by Subaru. That said, the big news for 2026 is the Crosstrek Hybrid (non-PHEV) with a total output of 194 horsepower.
