The 2026 Subaru Crosstrek is the small, rugged crossover that gives you all-wheel drive and real ground clearance without asking you to move up a size or pay extra for grip. In this full walkaround review we go over the design, the simple and durable cabin, the tech, the cargo space, the standard symmetrical AWD, and where the Crosstrek beats and trails its rivals.
Every 2026 Crosstrek comes with Subaru Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive and 8.7 inches of ground clearance as standard, on a starting price under twenty-seven thousand dollars. Its rivals do it differently: the Toyota Corolla Cross and Honda HR-V are front-drive at their base price and charge roughly thirteen to fifteen hundred dollars extra for all-wheel drive, and both sit lower to the ground. The trade-off is pace. The Crosstrek's 180-horsepower boxer engine and CVT are tuned for calm and economy rather than speed, so quick highway merges take patience. If you want the space and the AWD but not the leisurely pace, that is the honest catch to weigh.
