Introduction

Appealing to weekend outdoor adventurers, the 2023 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 2023 Crosstrek enjoys wide buyer appeal.

2022 Subaru Crosstrek

Subaru offers generous bang for your buck with the 2023 Crosstrek. It is available in six models with three powertrain choices, including a plug-in hybrid option and a continuously variable automatic (CVT) or manual transmission. All have come with all-wheel drive (AWD) as standard. We generally begin recommending Subaru models in the Premium grade. Basically unchanged from 2022, the 2023 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 2023 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, and the Crosstrek is one of Subaru’s most important and best-selling vehicles.

In alignment with its lineage, the 2023 Crosstrek delivers a comfortable and controlled ride experience that is uncomplicated and efficient. With standard all-wheel drive 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.

2022 Subaru Crosstrek front cabin.

Model year 2023 brings six models: Base, Premium, Sport, Premium Special Edition, Limited, and Hybrid. The Base and Premium Crosstrek trims, as well as the Special Edition variant, have a 152-hp 2.0-liter 4-cylinder engine. Meanwhile, the Sport and Limited models come with 2.5-liter 4-cylinder, 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, for the last time, a 6-speed manual transmission. The larger 2.5 is solely mated to the CVT. The plug-in hybrid (PHEV) Crosstrek Hybrid has an all-electric range of 17 miles, employing a 2.0-liter flat-4 engine paired with two electric motors and a small battery that can be easily recharged overnight via a standard 110-volt outlet.

All trims provide a pleasantly responsive drive, but our testing team found the 2.5-liter engine’s extra power provided the most satisfying experience. Any models equipped with CVT get Subaru’s EyeSight driver assistance system standard, which helps on those highway drives in between adventures.

The interior of the 2023 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. A 6.5-inch touchscreen is standard, with a larger 8-inch touchscreen on higher trims. Apple CarPlay and Android Auto are standard across the range.

Space in the front and rear of the cabin is well organized, with cargo room behind the second row at a respectable 20.8 cubic feet, expanding to 55.3 cubic feet with seats down. Those who select the Hybrid variant lose out on some cargo capacity in exchange for added powertrain components, at 15.9 cubic feet and 43.1 cubic feet, respectively.
