2024 SUBARU CROSSTREK

Having a Subaru Crosstrek in your driveway is like keeping a fishing pole in the living room or a mountain bike in your kitchen. You may not be about to run out the door and into the wilds, but it signals that you'd like to.

Redesigned for 2024, the Crosstrek offers small but welcome improvements, like the option of wireless Android Auto and Apple CarPlay. The respectable fuel economy (an EPA-estimated 29 mpg combined) remains, and the $26,290 starting point is unchanged. The Premium version we drove, with a power sunroof, blind-spot monitoring, and the All-Weather package, came in under $30,000, which is a lot of implied outdoorsiness for the money.
