The 2018 Subaru Crosstrek 2.0i Limited. |
We loved the last-gen Crosstrek, which was new for 2013. We love the 2018 even more.

Changes under the hood, too...a revised two-liter, four-cylinder boxer with direct fuel injection now makes 152 horsepower, up slightly from the '13's 148. And fuel economy improves slightly, from 25 city/33 highway to 27/33. With a larger fuel tank (16.6 gallons to 15.9), the 2018 Crosstrek has the ability to cover a lot of interstate, city streets or backroads (paved or not) between fill-ups.
Also new is the Lineartronic Continuously Variable Transmission, which includes a manual mode and shift paddles. Active torque vectoring is standard on all models. It drives like it's on rails. Hill descent control is standard and ground clearance remains the same as before at 8.7 inches.

Our tester had only one option package, which bundles Subaru's EyeSight smart cruise control, navigation and an upgraded Harmon Kardon audio system for $3,445. With $915 destination and delivery, the bottom line ended up at $30,655. It would be hard to find a better blend of style, comfort, convenience and go-anywhere ability at that price. The new 2018 Subaru Crosstrek is an absolute winner.
