he verdict: Subaru simply needed to not screw up a good thing with the redesigned 2024 Crosstrek. Mission accomplished.
Versus the competition: Other subcompact SUVs may be quicker, some may have better tech, but few can match the Crosstrek’s combination of genuine go-anywhere energy, excellent comfort and stellar space efficiency at this level of screaming value.
Here’s a fun fact: Last year, Subaru sold more Crosstreks than any year in the model’s nearly 12-year history. Despite it being an older design in its last months before the redesign you see here, and with minimal incentives (especially compared with its competitors), people still snapped up the compact quasi-SUV in ever larger numbers. So when it came time for Subaru to redesign the global platform that underpins its Impreza, WRX, and yes, its Crosstrek, the only thing the automaker really had to do was not screw it up.
