Learn More About How The Subaru XV Crosstrek Stands Out Against the Competition

Combining the utility of an SUV and the smaller size of a car, the Subaru XV Crosstrek is your gateway to a world of utility and convenience. Priced at an affordable $21,995 MSRP and getting the gas mileage of a much smaller vehicle, this one will save you money and keep you smiling all ride long.

Streamlines and eye-catching, the exterior of the XV Crosstrek is as smooth as silk while maintaining a rugged and aggressive look you'd expect from an SUV. Inside, a high view of the road gives you the vantage point you need in all situations, Bluetooth® hands-free calling and wireless audio will keep you entertained and connected, and there's plenty of space for all passengers front to back.

But it's not all just good looks and tech; this bad boy has some serious performance too. The 2.0-liter SUBARU BOXER® four-cylinder engine kicks out an impressive 148 horsepower while still maintaining up to an EPA-estimated 33 miles per gallon on the highway. Pair that up with symmetrical all-wheel drive and some serious safety features and you have power and control you can truly rely on.

Subaru XV Crosstrek vs. the Kia Sportage

The Kia Sportage is another great contender in the crossover segment; however, when compared to the XV Crosstrek, the model falls short in a variety of categories. See what we mean below:

• Drive more comfortably in the XV Crossover with an extra 2 inches of legroom in the front (43.5 in vs 41.4 in)
• The XV Crosstrek has earned the title of Partial Zero Emissions Vehicle (PZEV) and is even available as a hybrid, which makes it more efficient than the Sportage
• Feel safe in the XV Crostrek with seven airbags, a safety feature that does not come standard with the Sportage
