Reasons to Love Crosstrek

All-Weather Capability in a Right-Sized Compact SUV

Every 2026 Subaru Crosstrek AWD compact SUV gives you power, capability, and loads of passenger and cargo room. Conventional trims now feature a standard 2.5-liter, 180-horsepower SUBARU BOXER^® engine for responsive acceleration. The Crosstrek Hybrid combines its BOXER engine with dual electric motors and a high-capacity lithium-ion battery for up to 38% better city fuel economy than conventional models. Standard Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive and up to 9.3 inches of ground clearance let you explore off the beaten path. With up to 120.5 cubic feet of interior space — more than the Toyota Corolla Cross or Mazda CX-30 — you can bring more friends on more adventures.

A Reliable Compact SUV for the Long Haul

No matter which Crosstrek you choose, you can count on plenty of adventures ahead — 96% of Subaru Crosstrek vehicles sold in the last 10 years are still on the road today. The Crosstrek is also ranked #1 for Dependability and Projected Resale Value among Small SUVs by JD Power. That impressive Crosstrek reliability is backed up with a limited Subaru Warranty of up to three years or 36,000 miles and a Powertrain Warranty which covers the engine, transmission, and all-wheel drive and lasts for five years or 60,000 miles, whichever comes first.

Safe and Protected

The 2026 Subaru Crosstrek all-wheel drive compact SUV features the confidence of standard EyeSight Driver Assist Technology and available MySubaru Connected Services for extra peace of mind. The extra awareness of the DriverFocus Distraction Mitigation System is newly available and new standard rear-seat side airbags provide added protection. There’s also a suite of available active safety features like Blind-Spot Detection, Rear Cross-Traffic Alert, and Reverse Automatic Braking. That kind of advanced protection helped the Crosstrek earn top marks as one of the safest compact SUVs with a 5-Star Overall Vehicle Score from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) and is one reason why Subaru has been rated #1 in safety for five years in a row, according to ACSI.
