We here at autoTRADER have a soft spot in our hearts for the Subaru XV Crosstrek. Its tidy size, nimble handling, surprisingly good fuel economy and, of course, legendary flick-the-bird-at-winter symmetrical full-time all-wheel-drive saw it win top spot in our 2013 Mini-SUV shootout. In the world of small crossovers, the Crosstrek is an interest

NEW YORK – Although the 2018 Subaru Crosstrek was officially unveiled in Geneva , it made its North American debut today at the New York Auto Show. Not only more nimble and fun to drive, but also more stable during quick lane changes or obstacle avoidance Completely redesigned for 2018, the Crosstrek is the second vehicle to feature Su

Sometimes, after a few days of driving, it’s a single, stand-out attribute relating to specifications or feature content that stands out and bops your writer square in the schnoz. A super-upscale cabin. A mighty wollop from the engine. A killer stereo system. Laser-beam LED headlights. It’s just a machine that does everything it’s supposed to

We here at autoTRADER.ca have a place in our hearts for the Subaru Crosstrek (née XV Crosstrek) as this little scrapper from Japan has emerged victorious in not one, but two of our comprehensive subcompact crossover comparison tests. The competition keeps lining ’em up, and the Subie keeps knocking ’em down. The competition keeps lining

TOCHIGI, Japan – Subaru’s proving ground is at the end of a winding mountain road, perched on top where nosy neighbours can’t look in. The high-speed track and gnarly handling course have seen their fair share of sports models, but they were also used to develop the new Crosstrek compact crossover. If something can handle the stuff most peopl

“That is the best idea ever!” said about the eighth bloke that afternoon. “Does that come with the car?” It does – well, as a dealer-sold accessory. “It” is a Napier Sportz SUV Tent which is compatible with the Subaru Outback , Forester , XV Crosstrek and Tribeca . There’s a smaller edition compatible with the Impreza hatch too. Subaru is n

From beak to backside, the 2018 Crosstrek has been redesigned. Following the Impreza onto the Subaru Global Platform, this subcompact-ish SUV represents excellent value for people who genuinely need all-wheel drive: camping, off-roading weekender types. If you’re simply a big city commuter, well, read on anyway. Covered in mud and gripping wh

Vehicle Type Manoeuvrability, feature content, fuel mileage, unflappable AWD traction and a great driving position Small Crossover History/Description There’s an all-new Crosstrek on the horizon, meaning that the first-generation of Subaru’s smallest utility vehicle is moving quickly into used-vehicle territory. The original

Special editions aren’t always so special. They’re usually a gimmick used by automakers when a car is in its final model year. A fancy name and a few extra features helps to move some more units out the door before the next shiny new thing is unveiled. At an MSRP of $26,495, it’s a screaming value for what it is and what comes with it.

After years of complaints that the Crosstrek is underpowered, Subaru is delivering — though not with the turbocharged motor enthusiasts have been pining for. The 2021 Subaru Crosstrek gets a new Outdoor model equipped with a 2.5-litre four-cylinder engine that outputs 182 hp and 176 lb-ft of torque, an improvement over the regular crossover’

Subaru is set to introduce its first-ever plug-in hybrid (PHEV) vehicle, an electrified version of the 2020 Crosstrek crossover, later this month at the LA auto show. Its arrival at the brand's Canadian dealerships in late 2019 will mark about three years since Subaru canned its first crack at the hybrid market due to slow sales. Coincidentally,

Subaru has released a single teaser image of its all-new 2018 Crosstrek compact crossover, set to be revealed in March at the 2017 Geneva auto show. The coyly lit photo reveals the new compact's outline, which will disappoint anyone who wanted -- or expected -- the new Crosstrek to differ significantly from the redesigned Impreza hatchback up

Subaru has unveiled their XV Concept to show a glimpse of the next-generation production Crosstrek. Details are few and far between, but expect the showroom Crosstrek (previously known as the Crosstrek XV , it is now the Crosstrek in North America and the XV everywhere else) to retain many of the style elements of the concept. The 19-inch whe

Subaru has just announced that it will be making a plug-in version of the Crosstrek compact crossover . It's the automaker's first plug-in, but not its first hybrid.  Subaru's first hybrid in North America was the XV Crosstrek hybrid that arrived for the 2014 model year in Canada. That car used Subaru's own hybrid system that used a small 13-hp

Subaru has debuted their all-new Crosstrek at the Geneva Motor Show. The small crossover gets the new platform from the 2017 Subaru Impreza  along with that car's new engine. What it doesn't get is a huge styling change. The mild exterior changes on an all-new platform isn't much of a surprise. That's the same makeover that the Impreza sedan an
