Why it stands out

The 2021 Subaru Crosstrek stands out as a small hatchback with SUV-like attitude. It uses raised ride height and plastic body cladding to create a more rugged look, and it comes with standard all-wheel drive. It is also a derivative of the Subaru Impreza, which helps explain why it feels like an ordinary car underneath the outdoorsy styling.

For 2021, the Crosstrek is largely the same basic vehicle as before, but it adds a few notable updates. A new Sport trim level joins the lineup, a 2.5-liter engine becomes available alongside the previous 2.0-liter engine, and the Crosstrek gets an upgraded version of Subaru’s EyeSight driver-assistance system. That combination makes it appealing to buyers who want a practical small vehicle with standard safety equipment and extra capability for rough weather or light adventure use.

Its strengths are clear in the driving experience and equipment list: great ride quality, standard advanced safety features, and standard all-wheel drive. The tradeoffs are just as straightforward, with sluggish performance, not much cargo space, and outdated technology among the main drawbacks. Owners also tend to praise its value, safety features, fuel economy, and comfortable handling, while some wish it had more power and interior room.
