The Subaru Crosstrek feels like an eternal part of our lives. It’s a car people buy for functionality and affordability — not for dunking on everyone else on the road — and that’s what a lot of us need.
We drove a 2024 Subaru Crosstrek Sport recently. The crossover starts at $25,000 these days, which is just above its original starting price of $22,000 in 2013. There’s a base 152-horsepower engine, and my Crosstrek Sport loaner had a 2.5-liter, four-cylinder boxer engine that made 182 hp and 178 pound-feet of torque. Every engine option pairs with a continuously variable transmission and standard all-wheel-drive (yes, even at $25,000).
In my week with the car, the Crosstrek Sport was about as normal as transportation could get. It wasn’t fast or flashy, and despite its low mileage, someone had already stained the cloth passenger seat. But it did feel practical, and that’s something I can’t say about a lot of modern cars in America.
So many modern cars are $80,000 luxo-boats with a four-figure monthly payment, while the Crosstrek Sport is just a reasonably priced new car with a warranty, all-wheel-drive, and seat heaters. It’s enough, and in a world where everything is too much, that’s refreshing.
