Looks That Hint at Adventure

The Crosstrek arrives with rugged, restrained styling that reads ready-for-weekend-trails rather than show-room flash, thanks to raised ride height, protective cladding and practical roof rails. At 4,495 mm long and 1,600 mm high it sits larger than a supermini but smaller than a family SUV, which helps in town and on dirt lanes alike. The design priorities are durability and visibility rather than luxury, so the profile feels honest and useful. For 2024 the Crosstrek is offered as a 2.0i e petrol MHEV automatic all-wheel drive, delivering 136 hp and official consumption around 7.7 L/100 km.

Cabin: Practical, Comfortable, Unfussy

Inside the Crosstrek the layout is logical and focused on durability, with supportive seats and switchgear that prioritise function over flash. Materials mix soft-touch areas with resilient plastics—easy to live with but not premium when judged up close. The driving position is upright and visibility is excellent, which helps in traffic and when scanning for obstacles off-road. Standard equipment includes a modern infotainment interface with smartphone mirroring and a straightforward instrument pod that keeps attention where it should be.

Room for Life, Not Excess

The Crosstrek seats five reasonably comfortably, with a cargo bay that handles groceries, weekend bags or a pair of bikes folded down; the base boot is 315 litres and expands to about 1,314 litres with the rear seats folded. Rear legroom is adequate for most adults and the upright seating makes long trips less tiring than lower-slung rivals. Curb weight sits around 1,600–1,630 kg, and payload figures mean it can cope with luggage and passengers within sensible limits. Practical touches such as a wide tailgate opening and simple load floor make daily loading straightforward.

On-Road Character: Confidence Over Flash

The Crosstrek’s all-wheel-drive system and composed suspension deliver confidence on mixed roads, with predictable grip and a settled ride that soaks up broken surfaces without fuss. The 2.0-litre petrol MHEV engine produces 136 hp and 182 Nm, accelerating to 100 km/h in about 10.8 seconds, which means it’s comfortable for overtakes and motorway cruising but not aimed at drivers seeking sporty thrust. The CVT gearbox is smooth and keeps revs in check, though it can feel lethargic under hard inputs. Overall the balance favours comfort and security rather than sharp handling or outright pace.

Running Costs: Thrifty Enough for Everyday Use

Official combined consumption of 7.7 L/100 km is reasonable for an AWD compact SUV and should translate to everyday mixed driving figures in the high sevens to low eights depending on load and driving style. With a 48-litre tank the theoretical combined range approaches 600–620 km, making longer trips manageable between fill-ups. CO2 emissions sit around 174 g/km, reflecting the petrol AWD package rather than hybrid-level economy. The mild-hybrid system helps in stop-start traffic and light acceleration, but it isn’t a substitute for a full hybrid if cutting fuel use is the priority.

Tech That Protects, Infotainment That Connects

Safety technology is a strong suit: Subaru’s suite of driver aids—adaptive cruise, autonomous emergency braking and lane-keeping features—focus on preventing incidents rather than dazzling with gimmicks. The infotainment offers smartphone integration, easy-to-use menus and clear voice prompts, although screens and graphics are functional rather than flashy. Connectivity and safety are prioritised in ways that benefit families and active owners who value reassurance over cutting-edge UX. Expect reliable, well-applied tech rather than headline-grabbing features.

Who Should Put This on Their Shortlist?

The Crosstrek suits buyers who want a compact SUV that’s genuinely able off the beaten track, comfortable for daily driving and shrewd on safety and practicality rather than sporty dynamics. It’s a solid pick for outdoorsy couples, small families and anyone who values all-wheel drive year-round in a manageable footprint. Those seeking outright luxury, brisk acceleration or the lowest possible running costs might look elsewhere, but for a dependable, versatile compact AWD the Crosstrek is a sensible, well-rounded choice.
