Subaru

Starting Friday, the Golden State capital will be as good as gold for new-car 
 shoppers as the 2018 Sacramento International Auto Show stakes its 
 claim.

The fifth-generation Subaru Forester is on a new platform and much 
 improved for 2019, but you might have trouble telling it from the 2018 
 model in a parking lot.

In the three years since we tested the subcompact SUV class, things have 
 only heated up. Here are the results of our 2018 Subcompact SUV 
 Challenge.

When we first compared the then-new subcompact SUV class in 2015, the 
 Subaru Crosstrek came out on top. Now we're back to do it again with 
 three fresh challengers. Who wins? Watch our video to find out.

Cars.com's 2018 Subcompact SUV Challenge results aren't magic. Our 
 expert judges spent a week driving and comparing vehicles in the best way 
 anyone can evaluate competitors: back to back. Here's how it works.

The 2018 Subaru Crosstrek has been redesigned for 2018, and its updates 
 should only further its appeal. Check out this gallery of Crosstrek images 
 ahead of the results of our 2018 Subcompact SUV Challenge.
