The Subaru Crosstrek is the Kind of Adaptable Crossover You'll Love

An increasingly popular segment, the sedan-based crossover market is full of rides that promise adaptability for off-road adventures and daily commuting. The new Subaru Crosstrek stands out for its sense of efficiency, its intelligent design based off the Impreza sedan and an upgraded suspension to handle all kinds of off-roading. Found here at our Bellevue, NE Subaru dealership serving Omaha, Papillion and Plattsmouth, NE and Council Bluffs, IA, the new Crosstrek certainly has some competitors, but it rises above in many ways.

As you research your new crossover options, you'll want to keep several qualities in mind. For one, there are many options and trim levels offered for each crossover, including the Crosstrek, and you'll want to keep your desired features and budget in perspective as well. Here, we're stacking the base level Crosstrek up against the base Toyota RAV4 and Honda HR-V, along with the Jeep Renegade, MINI Cooper and Nissan JUKE. Our hope is that this will give you a quick idea of what the Crosstrek has to offer against each of these respective vehicles.

Subaru Crosstrek vs. Jeep Renegade

• Standard symmetrical all-wheel drive provides traction in the Crosstrek that you can count on, while the same can't be said for the competition
• A standard CD player in the base Crosstrek is something that you will have to move up in trim level to enjoy with the Renegade
• The Crosstrek offers more front leg room for drivers and guests to enjoy over the Jeep model
• Storing your cargo is easier in the Crosstrek over the Renegade, which offers significantly more trunk space

Subaru Crosstrek vs. Toyota RAV4

• For starters, the base level of the Crosstrek is far more affordable than the RAV4
• The Crosstrek, like most new Subaru models, comes standard with AWD, which proves to be a costly add-on for the RAV4
• This standard all-wheel drive configuration doesn't sacrifice much in the gas-guzzling department, however, with a combined fuel economy that is much higher than that of the RAV4 at 29 miles per gallon respectively
• Stretch out and relax inside of the Crosstrek when in the driver's seat or front passenger position, as this crossover boasts more front leg room when compared to the RAV4

Subaru Crosstrek vs. Nissan JUKE

• The Subaru Crosstrek comes in standard symmetrical all-wheel drive, an advantage held over the front-wheel drive of the JUKE
• This Subaru model offers more front head, leg and shoulder space than the Nissan model
• Guests are treated to more rear head, leg and shoulder room in addition
• The Crosstrek comes with significantly more trunk space for you to make extra room and accommodate your travel gear accordingly

Subaru Crosstrek vs. Honda HR-V

• Once again, the standard AWD found with the Crosstrek is a costly add-on for the HR-V
• The Crosstrek gives you a boost in both horsepower and torque over the HR-V
• The Crosstrek affords more front leg and head room than the HR-V
• Standard roof rails on the Crosstrek have you ready for adventure, while those aren't available at the base level of the HR-V

Subaru Crosstrek vs. MINI Cooper

• The Crosstrek comes with a standard CD player for your favorite music, while you will need to advance in trim to enjoy this feature with the MINI Cooper
• Standard symmetrical all-wheel drive is a road-gripping feature of the Crosstrek you won't get to enjoy with the Cooper model
• Other base features that aren't available in the entry MINI Cooper trim level include a 12V power outlet and a tilt steering wheel
