The Crosstrek blends rugged charm with everyday practicality, but it's not for thrill-seekers.

Standard all-wheel drive · Off-road capable Wilderness trim
Noticeable highway noise · Lackluster infotainment system

The 2026 Subaru Crosstrek is all about embracing the journey over the destination. With its standard all-wheel drive and admirable off-road chops, it’s the adventurer’s companion. We found it most at home on dirt trails and snowy backroads, where its capability feels almost unrivaled in this segment. However, the Crosstrek isn’t without its quirks. On the highway, road noise seeps through the cabin with an incessant hum, and the acceleration leaves much to be desired, especially when entering fast-moving traffic. If you're someone who values rugged utility over spirited driving, the Crosstrek is your trusty steed.

Our pick: Wilderness ($35,215)
vs. 2026 Toyota RAV4: The RAV4 offers a more powerful engine and better on-road handling, but the Crosstrek's off-road capability and standard AWD make it the choice for adventure-seekers.
