"Many class rivals are more powerful than his Subaru, and they feel more energetic."-Cars.USNews.Com

The 2020 Subaru Crosstrek comes with the 2L Boxer-4 motor producing 152 hp and 145 lb-ft of torque. This is a double overhead cam naturally aspirated motor capable of towing a maximum of 1,500 lbs. There is a full-time symmetrical all-wheel-drive system as standard across all three trims as well. The 2020 Subaru Crosstrek Hybrid manages to give out a slightly lower 148 hp and 149 lb-ft of torque.

The 2020 Subaru Crosstrek comes mated to a 6-speed manual transmission as standard. However, there is also an optional Lineartronic CVT automatic transmission. This CVT automatic offers 8-speed manual shift mode, X-Mode, hill descent control, steering-mounted paddle shifters, SI-DRIVE engine performance modes, and engine start/stop. The 2020 Subaru Crosstrek Hybrid also gets the same CVT automatic transmission, however, the manual transmission is not offered.

The 2020 Subaru Crosstrek with an automatic transmission takes 9.0 seconds to gear up from 0-60 MPH. The manual transmission only aggravates the 0-60 MPH time of the Subaru Crosstrek even further. Among its class though, the 2020 Hyundai Kona turned out to be the quickest with 6.8 seconds run from 0-60 MPH. The 2020 Mazda CX-30 also managed to get a better 0-60 MPH time of 7.5 seconds. However, the 2020 Buick Encore turned out to be the slowest of the lot with a 0-60 MPH and a quarter-mile time of 9.5 seconds and 17 seconds.

Even though the 2020 Subaru Crosstrek is not the fastest subcompact SUV in the segment, we were quite impressed with its overall driving dynamics. The 2020 Crosstrek offered excellent braking performance, coming to a complete halt from 60-0 MPH in just 120 feet. The handling and ride quality also remained excellent due to a neutral suspension setup on offer. To top it off, the steering offered a decent feel and feedback and weighed quite well as the speeds rise.

With the 6-speed manual transmission, the 2020 Crosstrek delivers 23 MPG in the city, 30 MPG on the highway, and combined gas mileage of 28 MPG. However, the CVT Crosstrek returned an even better 27 MPG in the city and 33 MPG on the highway. An impressive fuel economy is expected from a car touted as a daily driver and the 2020 Subaru Crosstrek doesn't disappoint. The features like automatic stop/start and multiple driving modes also help the 2020 Subaru Crosstrek to extract an even better gas mileage.

With a 16.6-gallon fuel tank capacity on offer, the 2020 Crosstrek managed to extract an impressive 448 miles of city range and 548 miles of highway range, with a combined range of 498 miles. Among the rest, the 2020 Crosstrek and the 2020 Kona share the top spot on the fuel economy charts with their 30 MPG combined rating.

The Buick Encore trails behind by a small margin though, with its 27 MPG of combined gas mileage. The 2020 Buick Encore is indeed the heaviest of the lot which ruins the SUV’s fuel efficiency figures.

On the inside, the 2020 Subaru Crosstrek keeps things very clean and straightforward, unlike the rugged exterior. The Crosstrek cabin has a neat arrangement with a minimalistic dashboard that does look outdated when compared to its rivals. On the brighter side, the interior of Crosstrek is thoughtful and inspires convenience. The black and orange-colored interior of the 2020 Subaru Crosstrek manages to look quite upmarket and premium. This subcompact crossover also receives many features like a StarLink infotainment system with Android Auto and Apple CarPlay, leather upholstery for the Limited trim, electronic seat adjustability, and an optional moonroof.

There is a tiny digital driver's information display in the instrument cluster that sits between the analog gauges and can control various vehicle settings. The lower trims get a 6.5 inch StarLink touchscreen infotainment system, while the highest Limited trim gets an 8.0-inch unit. The upper screen serves as an information panel and displays various information like range, weather, etc.

The menu structure is easy to understand even for first-time users but the graphics look dated. This system gets all the features like Android Auto, Apple CarPlay, SiriusXM radio, and many more as standard. Some of the interior and infotainment features on offer with the 2020 Subaru Crosstrek has been mentioned below:

• An 8.0 inch/6.5 inch Subaru StarLink infotainment system
