Performance
The 2019 Crosstrek offers drivers a safe and solid design that makes travelling across highways or rural roads comfortable and easy. With a composed ride and heavy steering, drivers will feel planted through corners and on slippery winter roadways. With a base 152-hp 4-cylinder engine, the 2019 Crosstrek has plenty of power to navigate the toughest of road conditions, whether drivers chose the standard manual transmission or the automatic option instead.
Fuel Economy
The 2019 Crosstrek base model offers drivers a city fuel economy of 8.8L/100km and a highway fuel economy of 7.2L/100km, which is comparable to most of the other subcompact SUVs in this price range, like the Subaru Forester and even better than the all-wheel-drive version of the Honda CR-V.
