View dealThe Subaru Crosstrek is a compact five-seat SUV built around all-wheel drive. It suits drivers who want grip and ground clearance every day of the year rather than outright pace or headline economy.
The choice here is refreshingly simple. One body style, one self-charging hybrid petrol engine of 134 bhp with an automatic gearbox, and two trims: Limited and Touring.
It's a 4.50 m car with a 315-litre boot, so it's a compact family SUV rather than a load-lugger. What you get instead is all-wheel drive as standard on every version, a 5-star Euro NCAP rating and braked towing of up to 1,270 kg.

Manufacturer data for the versions we currently offer. Last updated 5 October 2026.
The Crosstrek is the current version of Subaru's compact crossover, on sale in this form since 2023. It is essentially a compact SUV with five doors and Subaru's all-wheel-drive system underneath.
Reviewers consistently praise its off-road and bad-weather ability, its composed ride and the strength of its standard safety systems. They are equally consistent about the trade-offs: WLTP economy of 36.8 mpg and 174 g/km of CO2 are modest for a car of this size, and road testers note motorway road and engine noise.
Practicality is decent rather than class-leading, with five seats, 315 litres of boot space behind the rear seats and 922 litres with them folded. Subaru covers it with a 3-year / 60,000-mile warranty.
Because every Crosstrek is well equipped from the entry trim, and leasing lets you run one for a fixed monthly rental over an agreed term without worrying about what it's worth at the end. That matters on a car built for a niche.
Every version gets adaptive cruise control, autonomous emergency braking, blind-spot monitoring, rear cross-traffic alert, lane-keep assist, active lane-change assist and traffic sign recognition. Euro NCAP awarded 5 stars, scoring 83% adult occupant, 90% child occupant, 85% vulnerable road users and 72% safety assist.
Heated front seats, keyless entry and start, dual-zone climate control, Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, a rear-view camera, LED headlights, privacy glass and roof rails are standard too. Note that the spare is a tyre repair kit, not a wheel.
There's only one, so the decision is really whether it suits you. Every Crosstrek uses the same self-charging hybrid petrol engine, automatic gearbox and all-wheel drive.
A 2.0-litre petrol engine with a small 0.6 kWh battery, giving 134 bhp and 182 Nm, through a 7-speed automatic to all four wheels. You never plug it in and there's no quoted electric-only range - the battery simply assists the engine.
Expect 36.8 mpg and 174 g/km on the official WLTP figures, a top speed of 123 mph and insurance group 20. It fits drivers who value year-round traction over fuel bills, and the high CO2 makes it a poor fit as a company car - our petrol, diesel or electric guide explains why.

Limited covers the essentials and Touring adds comfort kit, bigger wheels and built-in navigation. Both have the same 134 bhp hybrid engine and the same all-wheel-drive system, so this is a specification decision, not a performance one.
The entry trim, on 17-inch diamond-turned alloy wheels with cloth upholstery, LED headlights, heated front seats, climate control and Android Auto. Honestly, most of the safety and comfort kit buyers care about is already here, which is why the Limited is worth a proper look before you spend more.
The Limited is currently available from £521.95 a month.
Touring moves up to 18-inch diamond-turned alloy wheels and synthetic leather upholstery, and adds satellite navigation, a power sliding and tilting panoramic sunroof, an electrically adjustable driver's seat, automatic high beam, paddle shifters and an auto-dimming rear-view mirror.
The Touring is currently available from £551.32 a month. Against the Limited, that is currently £29.36/mo more expensive.
Paint runs to ten colours across the range, from Crystal black and Crystal white through Horizon blue, Ice silver, Magnetite grey, Oasis blue, Offshore blue, Pure red and Sapphire blue to Sun blaze.
