There's one model in this family that stands apart from the others, and that's the Subaru Crosstrek Hybrid , a plug-in gas-electric that leverages technological partner Toyota's expertise. Sounds great, right? Regrettably, it isn't. It's the only Crosstrek we can't recommend, on account of its deeply compromised utility, high pricing, weird symphony of powertrain noises and underwhelming real-world efficiency.
After that, you're left toting around pounds of extra weight from the two motors and 8. The Hybrid is built atop the 2. Just say "no. Yes, the 2. The Crosstrek Limited includes cabin enhancements like the upsized 8.
Other changes for the Limited include steerable LED headlamps with high-beam assist, blind-spot detection, reverse auto-brake, turn-signal side mirrors and larger inch alloys. Overall, the Limited gives buyers a good amount of bang for the buck. As-delivered price? From a product perspective, over the last 20 years, three models really burnished Subaru's public perception, turning the company from a niche brand to a hot seller with far broader appeal: The Outback and Forester put Subie on the shopping lists of mainstream consumers, and the WRX put the marque on the map with driving enthusiasts.
Originally coveted by the video-game generation that grew up on simulators like Gran Turismo, the Impreza-based Subaru WRX became a high-performance legend long before it reached North American shores. When it finally did reach US and Canadian dealers nearly a decade later in , the turbocharged, rally-bred compact sedan became a sensation among driving enthusiasts, offering all-wheel-drive performance that far outstripped anything in its price class.
A hero was born. Today's WRX is actually based on the last-generation Impreza, having last been redone in The STI's 2. For maximum engagement, go with the three-pedal setup. The WRX STI nets out at 17 mpg city and 22 highway, and it recommends running 93 octane fuel both models require at least 91 octane. That said, I'd splurge on the costlier Limited trim. A number of reasons: First off, the base WRX looks a bit ordinary and dowdy these days.
If the 'sleeper look' is what you're after, that's great. But if not, you're probably going to want the larger inch wheels found on the Premium and Limited models. Given how quick the WRX is, you're also going to want all the candlepower you can get, especially if you're prone to high-speed night runs.
The WRX's interior is dated and rendered in ho-hum materials, so heated leather sport seats help elevate the cabin feel a bit, and the Limited's standard keyless entry with push-button start keeps the experience feeling somewhat modern. A seven-inch Starlink infotainment system with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto is no great shakes, but it is easy to use. If you want blind-spot monitoring, it's optional on the Limited and not available on any other trim, let alone the STI.
As mentioned earlier, I'd stick with the six-speed manual for maximum fun -- the CVT is better tuned than you might expect, but it's still something of a buzzkill. Given this model's age, it's likely possible to wheel and deal to get a more attractive price.
Any discounts will likely only get more plentiful as the WRX's expected replacement draws near for And now for something completely different. While the BRZ probably would've never existed without the WRX paving the brand's way with driving enthusiasts, this sports coupe is something of an outsider in the Subaru clan. That's by design. After all, the BRZ lacks Subaru's calling-card feature: all-wheel drive.
The BRZ is a rear-wheel-drive proposition, and it's all the better for it. This lightweight sports car, known by some enthusiasts as "Toyobaru," puts a premium on driver engagement over outright performance numbers. Philosophically, it's a bit like a somewhat larger Mazda MX-5 Miata , albeit without a convertible top. Subaru did handle most of the engine and chassis development for the BRZ and 86, meaning there's still a flat-four engine under the hood. That's good news, because boxer-style "pancake" engines are inherently flatter and can be mounted lower in a car's chassis, a combination that makes for excellent handling.
However, with only hp and pound-feet from its 2. A fun six-speed manual gearbox is standard, and a paddle-shift automatic with as many speeds is a cost option. One other note: the BRZ is getting on in years. It's received a number of incremental special edition models over the years, and there's been one subtle mid-cycle refresh, but this car has been on the market since Even when it was new, the BRZ's cabin didn't feel particularly premium or modern, and time hasn't done it any favors.
The BRZ is also unavailable without the advanced driver assist technologies that many cars have as standard-fit today, including auto emergency braking, adaptive cruise control and lane-departure warning.
Aside from the aforementioned Miata and its Toyota twin, the Subaru BRZ doesn't really have any other natural competitors -- few people will shop this car against something like a four-cylinder Ford Mustang or Chevrolet Camaro. Starlink is standard on all Subaru models. Symmetrical AWD: Subaru symmetrical AWD system consists of a longitudinally mounted boxer engine coupled to a symmetrical drivetrain with equal length half-axles.
SI-DRIVE: Subaru Intelligent Drive is an advanced engine management system with driver-selectable modes tailored to suit various driving conditions and the whims of the driver. VDC: Vehicle Dynamics Control with Active Torque Vectoring, which helps provide sharper, more stable handling by monitoring steering and braking inputs to help keep the vehicle on the intended path.
While this technology allows a fully automatic transmission driving experience, a clutchless manual shifting mode with paddle shifters is available on many Subaru models. It is the only car in the Subaru model lineup with rear-wheel drive and features a horsepower 2.
To capture that sports car feel, the BRZ features a sport-tuned suspension, quick steering ratio and Torsen limited-slip differential. Learn More: Here. Featuring a horsepower 2. The Subaru Crosstrek can be affectionately described as a more off-road-suited version of the Impreza, with nearly all the same features and amenities. If you search for the car online, you can ask the owner to give you the VIN code of the Subaru car.
You will find out the type of the engine, the transmission, the country of the manufacture, the model year and so on. The model year is not the year of the manufacture of the vehicle, the difference can be one year. One more thing is the ease of use of the decoder, Subaru cars should be checked before buying. You can see the initial condition of the Subaru car and compare the data with what you see in real life.
Ask the owner of the car why he or she made some specific changes or repairs. If the decoder cannot decipher the identification number, it's likely to be changed.
