What is the best Subaru Crosstrek model year?

Although a slightly older model, we recommend the 2015 Crosstrek. The first-generation Crosstrek is highly rated, fares well in safety tests, and has seen fewer problems than later model years. Then called the XV Crosstrek, 2015 was also the year the hybrid variant was introduced, as well as a new base trim, a standard backup camera, and an upgraded infotainment system. The 2020 Crosstrek is a great choice for those with more money to spend. For 2020, the Crosstrek gets a few more standard features, such as air conditioning and auto start-stop, as well as redesigned front and rear lighting systems.

What are the disadvantages of the Subaru Crosstrek?

• Uninspired engine performance
• Slow acceleration
• Irksome CVT characteristics

Comparison: Is the Subaru Crosstrek better than the Subaru Outback?

At a glance, the Crosstrek and Outback could pass for fraternal twins. They are both high-riding wagons that offer a minimum of 8.7 inches of ground clearance and feature a lot of rugged-ready body cladding. Suffice to say, the differences are slight. Based on the Impreza compact car, the Crosstrek is smaller than the Legacy-based Outback, meaning less interior space and fewer amenities. The Crosstrek also has less power from its naturally-aspirated four-cylinder engine choices but beats the Outback in fuel economy and price. If you want a premium wagon from the Subaru collection, the Outback is an easy choice — more comfort, power, technology, and versatility. Budget-minded shoppers, however, won’t be disappointed with the Crosstrek, which, although compact, is no less capable of traversing off the grid.

Is the Subaru Crosstrek a reliable car?

The Crosstrek is rated above average in predicted long-term quality and reliability. Regularly earning top scores in crash safety tests and forecasted to depreciate slower than similar crossover SUVs, the Crosstrek can be considered a smart long-term vehicle purchase.

How many miles will the Subaru Crosstrek last?

Japanese automakers have a history of durability. Subaru is no different in that there is a club touting high-mileage examples with as many as 600,000 miles on the odometer. A reasonable average, however, is around 250,000 before maintenance and repair work might make the Crosstrek less cost-effective to own. But with regular service and upkeep, the Crosstrek can exceed those numbers before pricey parts like the engine and transmission need replacement.
