The Subaru Crosstrek continues to shine in the small SUV space, offering rugged performance and everyday practicality in a conveniently sized package. For 2026, this versatile subcompact crossover gets a meaningful update under the hood. The previously standard 2.0-liter engine is gone, and the more potent 182-horsepower 2.5-liter SUBARU BOXER® engine is now included in all models, including the base trim. It’s a welcome boost for those who want a bit more power without compromising efficiency.
