Safety
The safety of you and your crew is paramount. There's not a vehicle on this list that can claim otherwise. Each model offers its own version of safety and driver assistance technology. When it comes to enhancing your confidence, the Crosstrek outpaces them all with its award-winning EyeSight® Driver Assist technology. Having a second set of eyes on the road is always beneficial.
Technology
Compared to the Kona and CX-30, the Crosstrek has the second-largest available touchscreen, sitting at 11.6 inches. However, our Subaru STARLINK® Multimedia technology ensures you'll enjoy a greater user experience every time you're behind the wheel.
Design
While the front and rear headroom are similar, the Crosstrek outperforms the CX-30 and Kona when it comes to front-seat legroom. At 42.9 inches of available space, you can stretch out while entering and exiting the vehicle with ease. Additionally, with its rugged style and available skid plate protection, the Crosstrek is better suited to off-road adventuring than the competition.
Performance
The Subaru Crosstrek comes equipped with a 2.5-liter SUBARU BOXER® engine that delivers up to 180 horsepower, which is more than the Kona but slightly less than the CX-30. Our standard Symmetrical All-Wheel drive more than makes up for the lesser power by elevating your handling to a higher level. When it comes to going up a steep driveway or overcoming obstacles on the trails, the Crosstrek has the competition beat. Its standard ground clearance of 8.7 inches is more than the Kona and CX-30 offer, and you can also upgrade to the Crosstrek Wilderness trim and elevate your ground clearance to 9.3 inches.
