Why it stands out

The 2022 Subaru Crosstrek stands out as a compact crossover that leans on simplicity, practicality, and all-weather confidence rather than flash. It uses a four-cylinder boxer engine, a manual or continuously variable automatic transmission, and Subaru’s Symmetrical all-wheel drive system, giving it the kind of straightforward mechanical setup that has long defined the model. Its generous ground clearance, protective bodywork, and pedestal-style roof rails add to its usefulness, making it a small daily driver that is easy to live with and well suited to rough weather.

By 2022, the Crosstrek also benefited from the second-generation updates that made the model larger and more refined than before, with more rear-seat legroom and expanded cargo space. The lineup had already gained Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, along with available 6.5-inch or eight-inch touchscreen displays, and the 2020 model year brought automatic climate control, a rear-seat reminder system, Subaru SI-Drive driving modes for CVT-equipped versions, and standard EyeSight safety features. For 2021, Subaru added the Sport trim with a more powerful 182hp 2.5-liter four-cylinder engine, plus StarTex artificial leather upholstery and dual-function X-Mode traction control, while lane-centering assist also joined the EyeSight package.

That mix of capability, safety, and everyday utility is a big part of the Crosstrek’s appeal. It is known for good gas mileage, and owners often praise its all-wheel-drive confidence, safety, and comfort. The main tradeoff is that base-engine acceleration is modest, and CVT-equipped versions can bring extra noise and droning. Even so, the 2022 Crosstrek remains distinctive as a small crossover that delivers a lot of usefulness without losing the rugged character that helped make the nameplate successful.
