We Drove The New, More Powerful 2021 Subaru Crosstrek Sport
If
ever there’s been a crossover that’s been both over- and
underrated, it’s probably the Subaru Crosstrek. Subaru’s
lowest-priced wagon has long been the subject of love and hate in
the auto world. Since its introduction in 2013, it’s had a unique
look that mixes rough-and-ready with road-worthy style that’s
struck a cord among buyers. Some of those things change for the
all-new 2021 Subaru Crosstrek. And only for the
better. The Crosstrek’s served as the entry level to the outdoorsy
Subaru set (real and imagined), and it has done well bringing new
buyers into the company’s automotive fold. It’s also been, by
comparison, the least user friendly and cheapest of the Subaru
offerings, gaining mistrust and ire for its failed hybrid option
and its penchant for road noise and low ride quality.
