Changing from a plug-in crossbreed to a dual-motor system with a little battery and engine charging ability also lets Subaru preserve a larger gas storage tank. In spite of giving up a couple of mpg in contrast to rivals in the section, consisting of the Toyota Corolla Cross, Honda CR-V , and Hyundai Tucson hybrids, the Crosstrek can nonetheless manage just shy of 600 miles (966 kilometres) in between fillups (based on the EPA’s mathematics, though naturally chauffeur actions enters play, also).

The only genuine disadvantage to the Crosstrek hybrid? No spare tire, which bets that adventurous way of living that Subaru’s advertising constantly highlights. And undoubtedly, the Crosstrek Hybrid still absolutely looks, feels, and drives like an affordable automobile, since it is. Subaru required to prioritize investment in the powertrain over superior products or more extensive insulation, clearly. However that’s just how a Crosstrek Hybrid can set you back simply $ 33, 995 for the Sport trim and $ 34, 995 for the somewhat more optioned Minimal package (or one more $ 1, 600 on top of the Restricted to include a power moonroof and 360 -degree cam arrangement).
The Crosstrek Hybrid likewise receives a standard electronic scale cluster, which just comes as component of a $ 2, 200 optional package on the 2026 Forester, along with increased noise deadening, animal-free upholstery, and modified adjusting to the suspension versus the gas-only designs. Now compare that pricing to $ 30, 625 for the ICE Sport and $ 32, 995 for the ICE Restricted, and it’s clear that Subaru toenailed specifically what the company’s exceptionally faithful consumers want.
If you can deal with the styling, this generation’s new Crosstrek Crossbreed supplies a distinct level of gas economy, performance, and capability inaccessible elsewhere on the burgeoning compact crossover market. No surprise Subaru can not construct them fast sufficient– now so the somewhat extra off-roady Wild trim could be combined with the hybrid powertrain.
