Is 194 horsepower enough in the 2026 Subaru Crosstrek Hybrid when you hit Sport Mode? In this quick #shorts test, I put Subaru’s revived hybrid crossover to the test to see how its e-BOXER hybrid system, standard Symmetrical AWD, and Sport Mode respond off the line and in real-world driving.

The 2026 Subaru Crosstrek Hybrid pairs a 2.5L BOXER engine with an electric motor and lithium-ion battery, producing 194hp—that’s 14 more horsepower than the gas model. With Sport Mode activated, throttle response sharpens and power delivery feels more immediate, especially around town and during quick accelerations.
