Subaru Crosstrek Hybrid

For the 2026 model year, the Subaru Crosstrek is available with a hybrid powertrain. It is powered by a typical Subaru 2.5-liter 'boxer' engine, augmented by a 1.1-kWh battery pack. Like the regular Crosstrek, it too has a continuously variable transmission. Naturally, all-wheel drive is standard. The total system output is 194 horsepower, which is 14 horsepower more than the non-hybrid 2.5-liter engine. Fuel economy improves by 6 mpg overall the regular version to 35 mpg overall. Arguably, the biggest benefit of the Crosstrek's hybridization is its improved low-speed drivability, thanks to its smooth electric shove off the line. Otherwise, most Crosstrek virtues remain. The cabin sees the analog gauges replaced with a digital instrument panel. The hybrid's exterior is distinguished with exclusive colors and wheels, plus obligatory badging. The Crosstrek Hybrid comes with the latest EyeSight driver assist features, adding a driver re-engagement system that can bring the vehicle to a stop if the driver becomes unresponsive to warnings while using adaptive cruise control. Also standard are blind spot warning and rear cross traffic warning. For 2027, the Crosstrek Hybrid is mostly unchanged.
