I leased my Crosstrek Hybrid 6 months ago and have been constantly disappointed, embarrassed even, in the lack of fuel efficiency. Sorry Subaru, to stay competitive you have to step up the battery range! This is an important feature that could potentially save lives.įor about same amount of money $39k msrp I would rather wait for the 2021 Rav4 Prime with over 40 EV miles. Another feature Subaru added to all 2020 Crosstrek is automatic door lock / unlock in the event of an accident. Another con is rear seats do not have AC vent so it will get hot in the sunbelt.Ģ020 Limited and Hybrid trim level Crosstreks receive updated LED headlight design, with the Hybrid being distinguished with silver trim along the projector beams.
Also the cargo barely fits 2 carry on so you will definitely need a second suv if you have a family or a dog bigger than 10lbs. Don't buy this expecting a Prius mpg but do buy this for AWD handling and 15 EV electric off roading miles. I've driven cross country all highway and the best was 29 mpg. Subaru AWD handles well and the quality is better than Outback and Ascent because Crosstrek and Foresters are still 100% made in Japan. Also Crosstrek going over 65mph the gas engine kicks on so on the highway I push "save" mode … and use gasoline instead. The Crosstrek however states that 17 EV miles but in real world driving with AC on you can only get about 15 EV miles. The difference is with Prius Prime we averaged about 30 pure EV miles before gas engine kicked in. Notably, we picked the 2020 Subaru Crosstrek Plug-In Hybrid as one of Edmunds' Cheapest Electric Cars for 2020.Ĭrosstrek Hybrid has a 8.8 kw battery same as Prius Prime. But overall, we like the Crosstrek Hybrid and recommend it for shoppers looking for an adventure-ready SUV that also gets great fuel economy. Cargo space is also diminished because of the space taken up by the battery pack. But on the downside, the Hybrid costs a lot more than a regular Crosstrek when new, though tax incentives help defray the cost.

In our testing, we've found that it's quicker to zip off the line, which is nice because the regular Crosstrek is rather pokey.
Once the battery is depleted you can expect an overall fuel economy of around 35 mpg, which is 5 mpg better than the regular Crosstrek.Īnother Hybrid advantage is acceleration. That's not a whole lot, but plugging in and recharging frequently can make a big difference in reducing your fuel bills. The result is an EPA-estimated all-electric driving range of 17 miles. The Hybrid comes with a plug-in hybrid version of the Crosstrek's 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine. Subaru offers two versions of the Crosstrek: the regular one and the Hybrid. Maximum cargo space is a little underwhelming compared to what you get from a more squared-off SUV, but it should still be sufficient for most people. It offers a pleasing amount of room for passengers and a smooth and comfortable ride over rough pavement. The Crosstrek is also useful even if you rarely leave the urban jungle.
