2019 Subaru Crosstrek 2.0i Limited

The 2019 Crosstrek is a compact crossover that blends Subaru's all-weather capability with a car-like footprint, slotting below the Forester in the lineup. It competes with the Honda HR-V, Toyota C-HR, and Jeep Compass, but its standard all-wheel drive and ground clearance give it an edge off the pavement. The Crosstrek handles with a light, agile feel, and the standard all-wheel drive provides sure-footed traction in rain, snow, or on gravel. The ride is on the firm side, which keeps body roll in check but lets some road imperfections through; it's a trade-off for the car's agility. The Limited is the top Crosstrek trim, adding leather upholstery, an 8.0-inch touchscreen, and the full EyeSight safety suite that the base and Premium trims lack. It uses the same 2.0L I4 making 152 horsepower and 145 lb-ft of torque, paired with a CVT and all-wheel drive, which delivers 29 mpg combined and confident traction in all weather. X-MODE with Hill Descent Control is standard here, giving you low-speed off-road capability that the lower trims don't offer.
