CarTell take

We haven't driven the Crosstrek yet. On paper, the e-Boxer Hybrid is a mild hybrid assist, not a fuel revolution. If hybrid efficiency is the priority, a Corolla Cross HEV does it cheaper and harder.

Why consider it

  • Symmetrical AWD is standard from the entry grade, paired with 220 mm of ground clearance.
  • EyeSight ADAS works across the range, not gated to top trim.

What to know

  • 2.0L NA boxer feels strained when fully loaded or climbing hills.
  • 315 L boot is small against urban SUV rivals.

Who it suits

Weekend adventurers, rural commuters and coastal types who actually use all-wheel drive. AWD is standard from $36,490 plus on-roads, with 220 mm of ground clearance.
