The 2024 Subaru Crosstrek is one of the best small SUVs on the market. It may not be as popular as the Forester, but it has quite a bit to offer buyers. Not only does it deliver solid power, but the new model has a solid interior. Luckily, much of the same is true for the 2023 Subaru Crosstrek.

Here are two things the compact SUV gets right.


The 2024 Subaru Crosstrek is among the best small SUVs for power

The 2024 Subaru Crosstrek is one of the best small SUVs because it has two engine options for buyers to pick between. It comes standard with a 2.0-liter flat-four engine that has a maximum output of 152 horsepower and a torque of 145 lb-ft. This version accelerates from 0 to 60 miles per hour in only 9.1 seconds.

According to Edmunds, the other option for the 2024 Subaru Crosstrek is a 2.5-liter that makes 182 horsepower and has a torque of 178 lb-ft. This one only takes 8.5 seconds to get from 0 to 60 MPH. The Crosstrek is an all-wheel drive SUV that uses a continuously variable transmission.

Buyers will be happy to know that the 2023 Subaru Crosstrek offers similar performance.

The Crosstrek has a solid interior

Another reason the 2024 Subaru Crosstrek is among the best small SUVs is its interior. It seats up to five people and has an impressive 100.5 cubic feet of passenger volume. This means that people in the front and the rear have tons of room to spread out. The SUV also has about 55 cubic feet of cargo space with the rear seats down.

The Crosstrek really stands out for its use of interior technology. Its base trim only has a seven-inch touchscreen, but all other models use an 11.6-inch screen. Of course, Android Auto and Apple CarPlay are both standard on the SUV. This is a vehicle people will enjoy being on for long drives. The 2023 Subaru Crosstrek offers much of the same.

Overall, the 2024 Subaru Crosstrek is one of the best small SUVs for several reasons. It delivers good power for its size, has a solid interior, and this is also a safe option. The new SUV starts at $29.195. Older models of the SUV also offer solid value for buyers. There's a reason why you see so many driving around on the street.
