U.S. News compiled a list of the best SUVs under $25,000.

What does U.S. News say about the Crosstrek?
The 2023 Subaru Crosstrek starts at $23,645. U.S. News gives the 2023 Crosstrek an overall score of 7.7/10.
"The Subaru Crosstrek brings an outdoorsy attitude to its segment, and it comes with standard all-wheel drive. Subaru offers a pair of engine choices, including the range-topping 182-horsepower four-cylinder. Both pair with a continuously variable transmission. Though far from sporty, the Crosstrek provides a comfortable ride and decent handling. The all-wheel-drive system also makes it pretty capable in the snow."
"The Crosstrek's cabin is not the most attractive or elaborately designed, but there's ample space, and Subaru's tech is reasonably easy to use. A 6.5-inch touch screen comes standard, but a larger 8-inch unit is available, and both come with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto."
