Appealing to weekend outdoor adventurers, the 2022 Subaru Crosstrek shines as a versatile blend of capability and generous safety equipment. Dancing the line between a nicely priced 5-door hatchback and a compact SUV, the 2022 Crosstrek enjoys wide buyer appeal.

2022 Subaru Crosstrek

Subaru offers a generous bang for your buck with the 2022 Crosstrek. It is available in five models with three engines, including a hybrid option and a continuously variable automatic (CVT) or manual transmission. We generally begin recommending Subaru models with the Premium grade. Basically unchanged from 2021, the 2022 Crosstrek provides 8.7 inches of ground clearance — above average for subcompact SUVs. Among the Crosstrek’s key competitors are the Honda HR-V, Kia Seltos, and Nissan Kicks.

KBB Review Highlights

Finding the sweet spot between SUV and hatchback, the 2022 Crosstrek offers a versatile and capable experience for buyers desiring a no-compromise option. The 5-seater from Subaru debuted in 2012 at the New York International Auto Show for the 2013 model year. The modified version of the Impreza Hatchback would soon get a global rename as the Crosstrek and become a beloved offering from the brand known for reliable durability and impressive off-road handling. Fast-forward to today, when the Crosstrek is one of the Japanese automaker’s most important and best-selling vehicles.

In alignment with its lineage, the 2022 Crosstrek delivers a comfortable and controlled ride experience that is uncomplicated and efficient. With customizable car-like handling through SI-Drive, standard all-wheel drive (AWD), and a lower center of gravity, the Crosstrek remains a compelling option that is just as at home in the carpool lane as it is dancing across snow-laced paths.

Model year 2022 brings four models (Base, Premium, Sport, and Limited) and a plug-in hybrid edition. The base Crosstrek carries over the 152 horsepower 2.0-liter flat-4 from 2021, while the Sport and Limited models come with a standard 2.5-liter flat-4, delivering 182 hp and 176 lb-ft of torque. Catering to Subaru’s hands-on, outdoor-loving audience, the 2.0-liter remains available with a continuously variable automatic transmission (CVT) or 6-speed manual transmission, while the larger 2.5 is solely mated to the CVT. Buyers seeking a plug-in hybrid (PHEV) option will rejoice with the Crosstrek Hybrid. With an all-electric range of 17 miles, it employs a 2.0-liter flat-4 engine paired with two electric motors.

All trims provide a pleasantly responsive drive, but our testing team found the 2.5-liter’s gumption, extra torque, and energy provided the most satisfying experience.

The interior of the 2022 Subaru Crosstrek is surprisingly roomy for its segment. Subaru has strategically placed the seating for comfort and ease of access. Slim roof pillars and generously cut windows allow for clear views and unobstructed sight lines. The simple dash retains easy-to-use knobs and buttons for most functions, though a 6.5-inch smartphone-enabled touchscreen marks the front of the cabin. Space in the front and rear of the cabin is well organized, and the cargo area expands to 55.3 cubic feet.
