The third generation Subaru Crosstrek has arrived for 2024 and it takes an evolutionary approach. Dimensions are nearly the exact same as the outgoing model and Subaru’s symmetrical all-wheel drive is of course baked in. Where the new model sets itself apart is with new technologies that aim to make it safer and drive better. Power comes from a 2.5L four-cylinder boxer engine packing 182 horsepower and 178 lb-ft of torque.
The top three stand out categories for the 2024 Subaru Crosstrek as voted on by CCOTY jurors are:
- Ride Quality
- Safety Features
- Value
Juror’s Opinion: Michael Bettencourt had this to say at Wheels.ca:
“The 2024 Subaru Crosstrek is a solid value if an unambitious redesign. Especially since the company acknowledges that electric options are starting to arrive in this segment, and are helping drive its growth, all while Subaru itself dropped its own higher-tech PHEV option.
Subaru believes this more conservative (drivetrain) path for the Crosstrek in Canada combined with its notable styling and interior upgrades will make its most popular vehicle even more so, predicting Crosstrek sales to increase by over 10 per cent this year. But we are disappointed to see both the manual transmission and the PHEV are no longer available.”
