The Subaru Crosstrek is a great pick for Boston-area drivers who want something rugged and practical without taking up too much space. It's surprisingly spacious for a subcompact crossover—with ample passenger roomy and flexible cargo capacity—while retaining a city-friendly physical footprint. Plus, it delivers Subaru's signature adventurous character, with standard Symmetrical All-Wheel-Drive and, if you choose the Lineartronic® continuously variable transmission, X-MODE traction control. Lineartronic® models also include EyeSight® driver-assist technologies like Pre-Collision Braking and Throttle Management, Lane Departure and Sway Warning, Lane-Keep Assist, and Advanced Adaptive Cruise Control w/ Lane Centering.
Available Plug-in Hybrid
Both the 2.0-liter and 2.5-liter BOXER engines provide Crosstrek with solid fuel economy for an AWD vehicle (EPA-estimated 30 and 29 mpg combined, respectively). But if you're looking for an SUV with even less fuel thirst for your Belmont commute, there's the Crosstrek Hybrid. This plug-in hybrid model achieves an EPA-estimated 35 mpg on gas alone. However, add the assistance of an electric motor and an 8.8-kWh battery, and you get an impressive 90 miles-per-gallon equivalent MPGe. The Crosstrek Hybrid also has an estimated 17 miles of electric-only range. So, depending on your commute and charging options, it can be an appealing way to experience EV ownership without going all-in on battery power.
The Crosstrek Hybrid requires external charging to reach peak performance and efficiency. However, replenishing the battery takes just five hours with a simple 120-volt household-style power outlet. So you don't need to install special equipment to reach a full charge overnight. With public or at-home Level 2 (240-volt) equipment, the Crosstrek Hybrid can fully recharge its battery in ~2 hours.
