Subaru Crosstrek vs the Competition

Subaru Crosstrek vs. The Competition

Looking for a rugged crossover SUV that can handle dirt, mud, and rocky terrain? The Subaru Crosstrek is a robust, off-road-ready vehicle that delivers all the features you crave at an affordable price. But how does it compare against rivals like the Toyota Corolla Cross or Honda HR-V? While competitors have a lot to offer, our team at R&G Subaru will show you why the Crosstrek is an undeniable winner and a worthy upgrade for all life's adventures.

Performance

Efficient Standard Engine

The Subaru Crosstrek has a very efficient setup, including a 152-horsepower or 182-horsepower BOXER engine, a continuously variable transmission (CVT), and standard all-wheel drive. The Toyota Corolla Cross and Honda HR-V offer similarly sized engines but are less efficient and don't offer a powertrain to match the optional 182-horsepower upgrade for the Crosstrek.

Off-Road Worthiness

Of the three popular crossover SUVs, the Subaru Crosstrek has more standard off-road features, including standard symmetrical all-wheel drive, robust body cladding, and a higher ground clearance than the Corolla Cross and Honda HR-V. A higher ground clearance is crucial for navigating uneven terrain. The Crosstrek offers a standard ground clearance of 8.7 inches, more than the Corolla Cross at 8.1 inches and the Honda HR-V at 7.0 inches. The Crosstrek Wilderness has an additional lift and robust suspension, taking ground clearance up to 9.3 inches.

Interior & Exterior

More Standard Features

If you want more bang for your buck, the Subaru Crosstrek is the best choice. While all three SUVs offer similar amenities on their base models, like comfortable cloth seating, a 60/40 split rear seat, and basic staples, the Crosstrek simply has more to offer. For example, automatic climate control, powered windows with automatic up and down front windows, remote keyless entry, and dark-tinted privacy glass are all included in the Crosstrek Base.

Technology

The Subaru Crosstrek is better equipped with advanced connected and safety features. The Toyota Corolla Cross and Honda HR-V trail behind with 7.0-, 8.0-, or 9.0-inch touchscreen options, which pale in comparison to the standard 11.6-inch infotainment display on all but the base Subaru Crosstrek.
