Subaru technically introduced the XV Crosstrek name in 2013, but Subaru debuted its "mini-ute" as the Impreza Outback Sport in 1996. Through four generations, the basic formula remains the same: start with an Impreza hatchback, raise the suspension, and give it a rugged exterior.
 2024 and up | Infotainment improvements keep Crosstrek at the top of its class, including the introduction of a generous 11.6" display and wireless
CarPlay and Android Auto. Subaru knows it has a styling winner, so even
though they changed almost everything inside and out, from the chassis
to the sheet metal, it still looks super cool. Eyesight improvements keep coming. Manual transmission rides off into the sunset with this version. |
 2018 through 2023 | Subaru maintained maximum cool factor with this latest generation, but changed almost everything. Built on an all-new platform that will ultimately underpin most Subaru models, crash absorption capability increases by a stunning 40%. Apple CarPlay and Android Auto debut, along with an optional power seat and Harmon Kardan audio. New Eyesight features include rear automatic braking, steering responsive headlights, and high-beam assist. |
 2013 through 2017 | Subaru became the compact SUV to beat with this recent generation. Introducing a continuously variable transmission and new 2.0 liter engine lifted fuel economy to 33 mpg highway. Other new features included the optional Eyesight
driver assistance system. Subaru hit the styling bullseye, producing
one of the coolest looking utility vehicles available. Outward
visibility remains outstanding. Subaru's first hybrid powerplant appeared in the 2014 Crosstrek. |
 2008 through 2011 | Subaru stretched the wheelbase on this generation, appealing to a much broader audience who required more room for people, dogs, and gear. |
 2002 through 2007 | The previous generation lacked refinement, so Subaru upped its game with a standard 2.5 liter engine, modern interior, and side airbags. Exterior styling went from weird to handsome. |
 1996 through 2001 | Subaru introduced the Impreza Outback Sport in 1996 with a 2.2 liter Boxer engine by adding a long-travel suspension and styling we call "rugged whizbang." Added equipment included crossbars, hood scoop, two tone paint, and phat fog lights. It looks a little goofy today, but this car really pioneered the mini-ute craze in the industry that is just now coming into full bloom. |
