Overview
- The new Crosstrek Hybrid pairs a two‑motor series‑parallel system with an adapted 2.5‑liter Atkinson‑cycle Boxer and keeps Subaru’s Symmetrical AWD with a physical driveshaft.
- EPA rates it at 36 mpg combined; a 1.1‑kWh battery under the rear floor trims cargo by about 1.3 cubic feet but preserves the 16.6‑gallon tank for roughly 597 miles of range on EPA math.
- Output rises to 194 hp, with reviewers reporting stronger low‑speed response and roughly eight‑second 0–60 mph performance plus a stated 10% improvement in passing power versus the non‑hybrid.
- Pricing lands in the mid‑$30,000s depending on how fees are counted (Sport listed at $33,995 MSRP or $35,415 with destination; Limited at $34,995 MSRP), with U.S. deliveries slated for November 2025.
- Test drives cite improved refinement and familiar trail competence with 8.7 inches of ground clearance, though real‑world fuel economy varied from the mid‑20s to mid‑30s mpg and some noted brake‑pedal feel and infotainment quirks.
