Crosstrek is now the best-selling all-wheel-drive model for SOA, with 99,252 models delivered to customers through the first eight months compared with 89,203 sold in 2021. Crosstrek is now 2,345 model sales ahead of the Outback midsize SUV and 30,101 ahead of the Forester.
The Crosstrek subcompact SUV is still one of the two SUVs with a sales increase in 2022, up 11.3 percent this year. The Ascent 3-Row SUV is the other Subaru SUV up in 2022 (+5.7%).
What sets the Crosstrek apart?
The fuel mileage is one significant reason the Crosstrek is the number one selling model for Subaru of America. Customers are looking for affordability, utility, all-wheel-drive, and fuel efficiency. The Crosstrek offers all four.
Crosstrek gets excellent fuel mileage
The 2.0-liter CVT models achieve EPA-estimated fuel economy of 28/33 city/highway and 30 combined mpg. The 6-speed manual models are rated 22/29 city/highway and 25 combined mpg. The 2.5-liter Boxer engine achieves an EPA-estimated fuel economy of 27/34 city/highway and 29 combined mpg.
Standard all-wheel-drive and X-Mode
The 2022 Subaru Crosstrek subcompact SUV rides higher with extra ground clearance (8.7-inches) than other small SUVs, and all trim levels come standard with Subaru's Symmetrical all-wheel-drive.
The Sport and Limited trims also have a new dual-function X-Mode for added off-pavement capabilities. The new system has settings for Snow and Dirt mode to the new Deep Snow/Deep Mud Mode and is best for sand where traction is compromised.
Affordability
Even with a recent price increase, the 2022 Crosstrek is affordable. The base trim is priced from $24,320, Premium ($25,470), Sport ($28,670), Limited ($30,170) and Crosstrek Hybrid ($37,520). Prices include destination and delivery fees that increase ($1,175).
