Three more things set Subaru Crosstrek apart
What sets the 2022 Crosstrek apart from other entry-level compacts is the Boxer engine in combination with all-wheel-drive technology, which provides dynamic driving performance coupled with its unique safety features. The new-generation EyeSight safety system is now offered as standard equipment on the new Crosstrek when equipped with the CVT automatic transmission.
The Subaru Crosstrek also comes with 8.7-inches of ground clearance which no competitor exceeds. Crosstrek also comes with X-Mode for more severe winter driving and off-road excursions. Subaru says 30 percent of Crosstrek owners take their subcompact SUV off-pavement for weekend adventures.
What is the 2022 Subaru Crosstrek fuel mileage?
You can have an all-wheel-drive SUV and still get good fuel efficiency. The Subaru Crosstrek uses direct injection on its new 2.5-liter four-cylinder Boxer engine and gets 27/34 city/highway mpg and 29 combined mpg.
The 2.0-liter engine gets 28/33 mpg and 30 combined mpg with the Continuously Variable Transmission (CVT) automatic.

Even my 1st-gen Crosstrek is
Permalink
Even my 1st-gen Crosstrek is still a great little car. It easily beats EPA MPG estimates just by using cruise near the speed limits on my 45-65MPH commute. The AWD and VSC work great, and I can switch the VSC off or pull a fuse for offroading.
The aftermarket for Crosstreks keeps getting better and better too, with a turbo kit, rear diff-locker, suspensions, exhausts, intakes, hitches, winchmounts, skids, rockers, bumpers, offroad/winter-capable tires, rooftop carriers, hitch carriers, etc.
My family of 3 can do an economical camping/offroad/vacation roadtrip, in any weather, in this winch-equipped, skidplated little monster. Just use a rooftop box/bag and/or hitchbox if you're overpackers. We can fit 3 daypacks, a tent, and a cooler inside, with room/seating to spare. Mtn bikes fit on the roof or hitch, or it can pull 3 dirtbikes or a small boat or other.
An affordable diff-locker and some rockers are going on my little monster next.
