Compare The Subaru Crosstrek to the Competitors

New Subaru Crosstrek vs. the SUV Competition

Hop inside a new Subaru Crosstrek if your crew could use a capable and versatile compact SUV built with reliable, go-anywhere adventure. Can the competition say the same? At Dan Perkins Subaru, we help SUV shoppers make well-informed decisions. Before exploring the new Subaru Crosstrek models for sale in Milford, CT, see how the lineup's compact option stacks up against the SUV competition, including rivals like the Mazda CX-30 and Honda HR-V.

Subaru Crosstrek vs. Mazda CX-30

Shopping at the mall or a New Haven, CT, supermarket? The Subaru Crosstrek gives you access to 54.7 cubic feet of cargo space with the seats folded, compared to the 45 cubic feet in the Mazda CX-30. Mazda CX-30 models have standard i-Activ All-Wheel Drive and eight inches of ground clearance, but the Subaru Crosstrek Wilderness offers a superior 9.3 inches of ground clearance, Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive with dual-function X-MODE®, and Yokohama GEOLANDER® all-terrain tires. These deliver improved performance on mud, snow, gravel, and rock you may encounter on expeditions beyond Danbury, CT.

The Mazda CX-30 returns 31 highway mpg, but the Subaru Crosstrek is a more fuel-efficient SUV, earning 33 highway mpg. A Mazda CX-30 outputs 186 standard horsepower, but the Subaru Crosstrek Hybrid generates 194 horsepower. The i-ACTIVSENSE® safety technology of the Mazda CX-30 counters EyeSight® Driver Assist Technology in the Crosstrek, but the Subaru SUV grabs a safety victory point with the newly available DriverFocus Distraction Mitigation System. Comparing interior features? The Mazda CX-30 can't counter the StarTex® durable upholstery of the Subaru Crosstrek Wilderness. Mazda CX-30 models offer a 10.25-inch center display, but the Crosstrek offers a Subaru Multimedia System with a larger 11.6-inch touchscreen.

Subaru Crosstrek vs. Honda HR-V

New Subaru Crosstrek models are powered by a 2.5-liter Subaru BOXER® four-cylinder engine rated for 180 horsepower. The Honda HR-V has a 158-horsepower engine. Real Time AWD™ is available but not standard. Every Crosstrek model at our Subaru dealership in Milford, CT, is equipped with Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive. A Honda HR-V is rated for 32 highway mpg, while the Subaru Crosstrek earns 33 mpg and offers a more fuel-efficient hybrid model.

Honda Sensing® for the Honda HR-V mirrors EyeSight® for the Crosstrek. New Subaru Crosstrek models offer an exclusive 12.3-inch fully digital instrument cluster. Both SUVs have a max cargo volume of 55 cubic feet. Honda HR-V models have 99 cubic feet of passenger volume and 42 inches of front-row legroom.
