Why it stands out

The 2023 Subaru Crosstrek stands out by sticking to a simple, practical formula that has long defined the model. It uses a four-cylinder boxer engine, a manual or continuously variable automatic transmission, and Subaru’s Symmetrical all-wheel drive system. Built on a car platform rather than a truck-like one, it pairs generous ground clearance, protective bodywork, and pedestal-style roof rails with the kind of everyday usefulness that makes it easy to live with. That combination gives it a distinctive personality: it is compact and affordable relative to larger Subaru crossovers, yet still ready for snow, rough roads, and light adventure.

For 2023, the Crosstrek remained part of the second generation, which brought a larger cabin than the model it replaced, more rear-seat legroom, and expanded cargo space with the rear seats folded down. It also offered Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, along with Subaru’s Starlink connected services platform. The 2023 model year was also notable for the availability of a 2023 Crosstrek Special Edition in an exclusive Desert Khaki paint color. Owners tend to praise the Crosstrek for its smooth handling, good mileage, and strong safety features, while common criticisms center on weak acceleration and an infotainment system that could be better.
