Expert Reviews

Expert reviews: 

New 2.5-liter four-cylinder engine provides more power.More standard driver assist features on automatic-equipped Crosstreks.Part of the second Crosstrek generation introduced for 2018.

Pros
High ground clearance for enhanced off-road capability
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.

The 2019 Nissan Kicks’ expressive styling masks its economy-car bones.

Pros
Intriguing style
Standard automatic emergency braking
Decent fuel economy
Good space utilization inside

Cons
Cheap bits show through
Tiring highway cruiser
Styling not for everyone
Higher price this year

By: 
thecarconnection.com

Nissan hasn't changed anything on its smallest crossover for 2019. The Kicks was all-new for 2018 and replaced the quirky Juke.

Pros
Wonderfully efficient powertrain,
Costco-size cargo space,
charming design.

Cons
Slow in our testing,
driver-assistance features limited to the basics,
warranty is nothing special.

By:

It's slightly less powerful than last year.The 2019 Nissan Kicks comes with front wheel drive. Available transmissions include: continuously variable-speed automatic.

Pros
High fuel economy estimates
Larger-than-average cargo capacity
Inexpensive compared to rivals

Cons
Leisurely acceleration
All-wheel drive isn't available
Missing a few desirable features
