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 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.

The Q2 is pleasingly bold on the surface, but plays with a very safe bat beneath it

Pros
Bold styling (for Audi),
should be a doddle to live with

Cons
Not especially fun to drive, few real benefits over an A3

By: 
topgear.com

Pros
Huge scope for personalisation
Stylish, high-quality interior
Great range of engines

Cons
Many rivals are cheaper
Limited kit on entry-level model
Large wheels affect ride comfort

By: 
carbuyer.co.uk

Pros
Spacious interior
Impressive safety kit
Good build quality

Cons
High price
Firm ride on larger wheels
Best features are optional

By: 
autoexpress.co.uk

It can rumble with hot hatches, but does Audi's youth-focussed compact SUV warrant its $50K-plus price tag?

Pros
Performance aplenty
Nice road manners...
... and adroit handling
Silky smooth dual-clutch auto

Cons
Asks for Q3 money
Misses key safety tech
Second row not the last word in comfort
