ubcompact SUVs are gaining in popularity and for good reason. They deliver the elevated ride height and cargo capacity that so many SUV drivers desire, along with the kind of maneuverability, fuel efficiency and lower price expected of smaller sedans or hatchbacks. These pint-sized utes are a great alternative to larger SUVs, but if you’re also interested in straying off the pavement, one of the best choices has been the Subaru Crosstrek. Now there’s a new one.
We had the opportunity to drive the redesigned 2024 Subaru Crosstrek through California’s low desert to see for ourselves how this new, third-generation model performs as both a daily commuter and a rugged adventure vehicle. The 2024 Crosstrek shares the same platform as the second generation, but this time around, the chassis benefits from a 10% increase in structural rigidity, which improves safety, handling, and comfort.
