It's finally here! // 2026 Subaru Crosstrek Hybrid Review

This is a Motormouth couple car review of the all-new 2026 Subaru Crosstrek Hybrid, subcompact SUV.
The 2026 Subaru Crosstrek Hybrid shares the same powertrain as the Forester hybrid. It’s powered by a 2.5L 4-cylinder e-Boxer hybrid, matched to a lineartronic CVT and has a 1.1 kWh battery. It gets a combined 194 horsepower and 199 lb-ft of torque, standard symmetrical full-time AWD.
In Canada, there is one 2026 Subaru Crosstrek Hybrid trim, what you see in the photos is what you get. In the US, two trims so not all these features offered in our test model are standard.
The 2026 Subaru Crosstrek Hybrid is a great size for many especially in the city and now with the hybrid option, you have more passing power on the highway. It comes standard with some great features in Canada, a 12.3” digital driver display, 11.6” touchscreen with navigation, wireless Apple Carplay and Android Auto, a 360-degree camera, wireless charger, 10-speaker Harman Kardon sound system, leather trimmed upholstery, heated front seats, 10-way power driver’s seat with 2-way lumbar support, 4-way manual passenger seat, heated steering wheel, moonroof and a manual liftgate.
In the US, leather trimmed is not available, instead the Sport hybrid gets cloth and the Limited hybrid Startex upholstery which is the same material as the Wilderness model.
In Canada, I’ve included freight, PDI and fees in the price, the 2026 Subaru Crosstrek Hybrid Limited hybrid is $43,418.
In the US, it’s MSRP, 2026 Subaru Crosstrek Hybrid Sport hybrid $33,995 and Limited hybrid $34,995.
2026 Subaru Crosstrek Hybrid fuel economy, it gets 6.5L/100 km, 36 MPG in both the city and on the highway.
This fuel economy is good but not quite as good as the Toyota Corolla Cross hybrid which gets 5.2L/100 km, 45 MPG in the city and 6.1L/100 km, 39 MPG highway.
