 Pros The 2018 Crosstrek received major overhauls compared to its predecessor. The SUV is riding on a new chassis plus it has upgrades on the engine, interior, tech and accessories.

 Pros It has impressive features. It has a nice athletic appeal, comfortable, safe and quite enjoyable to drive. Get 2.0i Limited trim with all the optional extras and the riding experience is further improved.

 Pros The interior is spacious.

 Pros Loaded with user-friendly tech and a lot of optional features.

 Pros Handling is pretty good.

 Cons The Crosstrek has only one powertrain available in its trims, which leaves buyers without a choice when it comes to engine.

 Cons The acceleration of the vehicle from 0-60 mph is at nine seconds, which is slow for many.

 Cons The only major downside we observed during the auto's testing was its slow acceleration. It would have benefited from an optional increase in engine configuration that could reach at least 200 hp. Nonetheless, this is ideal for your everyday or long distance drives.
