Full long-term review of the 2024 Subaru Crosstrek 2.0S, including engine, CVT, AWD system, ride quality, handling, running costs and important buyer’s guide suggestions.

In this long-term review, we take a closer look at the Subaru Crosstrek after six months of ownership.

We cover pricing and specs, ride quality, fuel economy, interior and tech, build quality, and more. We also compare the hybrid vs non-hybrid and discuss the car's fun factor.

Our high-spec 2.0S variant also presents good value despite sailing north of $46K on road, the package offering a lot of features and loads of standard-fit safety for the dough.
