The five-seat Subaru XV Crosstrek is a beefed-up version of the Impreza hatchback. Subaru says the Crosstrek has the same ground clearance as the larger Outback wagon. It competes with small off-roaders like the Jeep Compass and Mitsubishi Outlander Sport, and it comes with a four-cylinder engine and standard all-wheel drive.
New for 2015 Subaru’s EyeSight system is now available in the XV Crosstrek and XV Crosstrek Hybrid. A new 6.2-inch touch-screen entertainment system is now available as well and a rearview camera is standard across the XV Crosstrek and XV Crosstrek Hybrid lineup.
