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

Off-road capable, rugged looks
Standard AWD
New Sport trim

Cons
Cramped USB ports

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 new Sport trim comes with several unique features that won't be offered on other Crosstreks, including Snow/Dirt and Deep Snow/Mud settings for the standard all-wheel-drive system.

This year is expected to the be the last before a major redesign for the Rogue Sport, so Nissan has made only slight adjustments to the lineup for 2021. The base S trim gains standard 17-inch aluminum wheels while the mid-range SV receives heated front seats, a remote start system, a heated steering wheel, fog lamps, and a leather-wrapped shift knob.

Pros
Compliant ride,
spacious cabin,
fuel efficient engine.

Cons
Poky acceleration,
low-tech infotainment system,
lacks towing capacity.

By:

Pros

Cons

Bumpy ride when equipped with optional 19-inch wheels
Front seats aren't comfortable on long trips
