Expert Reviews

Expert reviews: 

For 2021, the Blazer lineup benefits from several minor updates. The Safety Assist package that includes automated emergency braking, automatic high-beams, front pedestrian detection, and lane-keeping assist is now standard on the 2LT, 3LT, RS, and Premier trim levels.

Pros
Standout styling,
engaging to drive,
spacious back seat and cargo area.

Cons
Base engine is undesirable,
some subpar interior materials,
best options reserved for priciest models.

Pros

Spacious seating for a hatchback of its size
Comfortable ride quality
Easy to see out of

Cons
Slow acceleration on the highway with base engine
Mediocre cargo space
Handling isn't as precise as that of some rivals

The 2021 Subaru Crosstrek flexes a more potent available powertrain but still prioritizes safety and capability.

Pros
Excellent CVT
Off-road capable, rugged looks
Standard AWD
New Sport trim
Standard safety tech

Cons
Cramped USB ports
Limited-release hybrid
Manual transmission omits more than it adds
Limited trim not a value

Along with a light visual refresh that includes new front bumper and grille designs, the 2021 Crosstrek gains a Sport model and a more powerful engine option. The new 2.5-liter flat-four has been lifted from the mid-size Legacy sedan and Outback station wagon and plopped under the hood of Sport and Limited models of the Crosstrek; the languid 2.0-liter engine is still in the mix, but relegated to the base and Premium models only.
