For people worried about power: A few months ago I was in the same boat as you. I wanted the Crosstrek but kept on looking at other options because of the lack of power. I didn’t find anything I liked as much as the Subaru, so I went to the dealership and drove it and it wasn’t bad at all, better then the HRV, plus it handles great and the CVT feels like an automatic. I decided to go through with it and bought a 2018 Subaru Crosstrek Premium w Eyesight with the CVT. Now after having the car for two months and putting around 3000 miles on it I can say it has plenty of power and the power does open up after break in. Don’t let the power stop you from buying this car, unless you want a sports car then this is an excellent little crossover. If I listened to some of the comments on these TH-cam videos then I wouldn’t have gotten the Crosstrek, and I can say after 3,000 miles with the Crosstrek that I wouldn’t have been as happy with any other car.
J.D. Turner Yeah it’s still a slow car but all the cars in this segment are slow as well. Actually it is one of the faster cars in the segment according to Motor Trend. www.motortrend.com/cars/subaru/crosstrek/2018/no-mans-land/ Congratulations on reserving a Crosstrek though.
Most commenters (or car enthusiasts) don't actually buy the cars they're commenting on. They probably just regurgitate out what they read online from other commenters are saying.
I test drove an Impreza a week ago, and it was nothing like they say regarding the power. It has plenty of power, for passing on freeway, going uphill from a stop,... Crosstrek is similar, I figure.
I test drove the BMW X 1, X 2 and X, 3, Mercedes GLA loaded, Toyota rav 4 and CHR (non all wheel drive) Honda HRV- which was nice just not high enough clearance ! Nissan sport rogue, rogue all trim levels, and Hyundai all wheel drives, and than Subaru crosstrek limited and WITHOUT reservation bought it the same day! The only difference was it was HIGH off the ground all the way around, felt like a Mercedes, drove like a BMW (handling) fit and finish were better than honda and toyota or about the same, The all wheel drive with X dirve (BEAST MODE) was extremely good (yes they let me test that feature out when i asked) and did NOT scrape going over a surface with about a 8 inch raised curb! I understand this is not a JEEP wrangler or a Range Rover (which i drove both:) the POWER output is LESS by FAR, HOWEVER, with the EXCELLENT gas mileage, EXCELLENT and BEST crash testing as expected by subaru and FULL suite of safety i sight tech (cannot even explain- it beats out TOYOTA safety package 2.0! (maybe the same) the street signs show up in the dash! SOLD!
P.S. my brother and his wife just bought a Subaru crosstrek also:) They only have driven jaguars in the past!
I did weigh in the up keep (maintenance) which was VERY low for the subaru if you do he basic maintenance and do NOT 4x4 seriously with it. The engine bay was the only one where you can easily reach everything in plain sight to include the oil filter on top of the engine:) WOW:)
I did like the MERCEDES star that was lighted on front- BUT EVENTUALLY i would NOT like the 300 oil changes etc-haha (of course, if your well to do thats great for you)
anuj shekhawat agree with you !
It’s power is just right and yields very high mileage with 4WD and drives beautifully! Did a highway only test last week using cruise control set at 80mph and got over 40 MPG highway consistently.
That's good to hear, as that has been my only hesitation so far. I appreciate your comment.
I bought a 2019 Jeep Cherokee for my wife because we have had a few in the past and liked them and after a few months driving with the total lack of power and some computer issues that scared my wife to the point that she was afraid to drive it I started to shop for a replacement (for my peace of mind) What originally attracted me to Subaru was the Outback. but after going through every model they had we kept coming back to the Crosstrek. So we picked the one we were interested in and test drove it. My main concern was power to pull out in traffic without the doggyness of the jeep. When we were done I was impressed with anything from the responsiveness to the creature comforts and handling. We have had it for over a month now and my wife loves it. I don't get to drive it much but I do like it myself. I think it is the best bang for the buck out there.
I just bought a 2019 Crosstrek and I love it. It handles beautifully the power is not a problem. In fact I was surprised I've how much power it had for a small motor. Passing other vehicles is not an issue and I would recommend this car to anybody.
Can you tell me if the EyeSight can do stop and go traffic for the adaptive cruise control? I know the Honda and Toyota new sensors can do stop and go traffic for the cruise control. The car for these will hold the brake and you just have to hit the accelerator or a button on the steering wheel.
My wife has one of these and loves it but I do think Subaru would kill the competition if they offered this dude in a turbo model.
Chris Van Tassel
That would be great 👍
Well, well Subaru just mentioned they are developing a TURBO for the crosstrek! Im sure it will improve performance- But i am happy with Mine for a LONG time:)
@@michaelsmith9308 That would be awesome, where did you hear that ? hope you are not teasing :S
@@mannyechaluce3814 they teased one... but only to fire back and say they don't have the capacity or plans -_____-
The fa2.4 engine now are used in the Ascent & Legacy - more to come

Hey there Car Confections,
Great review with clear descriptions of the various features on the car, especially as you discuss the different models that are available!
I have a deep blue 2019 edition Limited XV 2.0iS (Australian) model now 12 months old and it's great to drive, especially with plenty of space for driver and passengers, together with its inbuilt safety features, all-wheel drive, neat interior trim, comfortable ride quality, and fuel economy. It's a great package!
People are unnecessarily concerned about its lack of power, particularly with the CVT (which is the only transmission available in Australian XVs). While it is not a rocketship, that is not Subaru's intention. It is great as a daily driver with enough grunt and torque for highway and limited offroad ability which is Subaru's forte.
I have previously owned a 1985 DL Wagon and a 2000 Forester among other cars and this is the best car I have owned and driven.
Cheers from Down Under (Australia)
I have this car, which I bought after getting rear ended and totalling my 09 camry hybrid.
Way more goodies in this, even though I had every option in the camry.
Less miles per gallon, not as comfy, possibly more expensive services (although, dealerships have tons of coupons), and less power, but is WAY more capable in new england weather.
I don't find it super weak in the power department though.
You have to adjust your driving, no matter what you're in, so it's just a matter of adjusting, getting to know the capabilities of the vehicle, and enjoying it.
Thanks for sharing.
Superb car CC! I don't care about how weak the engine is, i care more about safety and reliability. This car truly conquers the roads of all of that mother nature tries to throw at.
A couple of weeks ago I bought a 2019 2.0i Premium Crosstrek. I love it. I still have my 2013 2.5i Premium Outback, which I bought new. It has been ‘the best’ vehicle I’ve ever owned. Really happy with the new Subie as well. The Outback has about 20 more horsepower than the Crosstrek. I’ve ‘never’ felt underpowered with it. The cars are engineered very well, and they utilize the power that they do have effectively and efficiently.
Nice review. I love the Crosstrek but I drive a 2011 STI and the lack of power keeps me from buying. However, I did test drive a 2017 Crosstrek for a day and loved how much you can wind up that little motor for some fun below 45mph. I feel the Crosstrek may not be the most powerful car but it seems like a "happy" car.
Try the 2018 and up. The direct fuel injection and the added 4hp makes a difference
No, the 4hp does not make a difference. It's the new 6 speed transmission, and gearing that makes the difference. The upgraded chassis and suspension also helps. 4 hp is unnoticeable at every level.
I just bought this exact car yesterday; 2019 Venetian red Limited. I have to wait until next Saturday to pick her up but I cannot wait. Thanks for the very detailed video, I cannot wait to drive mine!!
Congrats! You'll love it!
Have owned for 1 year now. Extremely happy with it. Never feel there isn't enough power. Quiet, comfortable and efficient. Best car I've owned. CVT Premium trim. Sunshine orange really outstanding,
Hi. It's been some years. Do you still have it and how is it? I just bought a used one myself and it seems like a perfectly safe and serviceable car but are there any negatives that come up?
@@KFrost-fx7dt Fantastic car for me. 39000 miles and recently changed rear brake pads. Front ok. Change oil spring and fall due tp low usage-around 4000 miles per change. Also new tires as for snow need very good tread all season. Really good in snow and ice.
Best review I have ever seen, other than taking it off road. Excellent attention to detail. Trying to convince myself not to purchase, even after all my previous research. This video didn't help. Already secured a fair price. Will close tomorrow on 2019 Premium manual. Needed something to flat tow behind my new home on wheels. Thanks! Just under $23,000 all in + tax.
Thanks! Congrats on the new Crosstrek and Happy New Year!
Heated seats are in the premium trim as well. Not just the limited
Also in touring
I have this model ( step down). No moon roof or leather seats but it’s a great car. Pick up is good, turns are great. You can fit a lot in this car.
Buy the 2018 model and save yourself some cash. Nothing changed. 2018 Limited has been treating me well for a year.
It’s a nice little car 🚘 to go short distances with. And being a Subaru it’s a great car 🚘 for the four seasons. Good winter reputation
I love its ground clearance
Good review. Wife just bought two limited for her and daughter..31k for each one...and she can afford any car she wants....they both love them
Congrats!
I cant wait to buy this car this month!! Cool grey khaki forsure and next imma install my jl subwoofers to make it officially mine !
Michael Patino 🤣👍🏼
I want subs in mine . I have the gray khaki color
I bought a 2019 Crosstrek Limited in 2019. To date, 2/1/2024 and 10, 600 miles, I have not experienced any of the issues described in this video with my Crosstrek. My only complaints about my 2019 Crostrek, and I was aware of these 2 issues before I bought the Crostrek, is it is grossly underpowered which has since been corrected in the upper trim level Crosstrek, and the front seats don't fit my size. I'm 6'0" 180 lbs. and after 2+ hours of driving I'm really uncomfortable. I believe a seat bolster would correct this issue for me. All in all, for an around town grocery getter vehicle, as long as I'm not in the vehicle for longer than 2 hours at a stretch, I'm very happy with my 2019 Crosstrek. MPG has well exceeded EPA expectations. I've been driving since 1964 and I've yet to discover the perfect vehicle.
Thank, I’ve been waiting for this!
I had a 2018 50th Anniversary Limited 2.0i Crosstrek. I got rid of it because it was just too slow for my needs. I went from a 2015 Subaru WRX STi to the Crosstrek to help save gas and on insurance money. I really thought I would have kept the car but the pain point I had with trying to pick up speed for the highway and even lanes that are around 50MPH and higher annoyed me. I will say that the ground clearance for this vehicle, along with AWD, was well worth it. I decided to go for speed and gas saving, and I don't have regrets with my 2019 Honda Accord Hybrid. The Crosstrek is definitely a great car to have if you want safety features, AWD, and higher ground clearance. The best part about the Crosstrek? The value for the price. Don't do what I did though as I went for the 50th Anniversary trim (I made a mistake doing that).
I ordered a 2019 Manual Premium Crosstrek. Fosgate audio upgrade and couple other options. I drive a 2006 6-speed A3 sport wagon I purchased new. It’s at 120k miles. My son said to let him know when I’m letting it go so he can continue rowing it’s gears. Lives in S.F. So it’s an excellent small yet quick daily driver. As I’m a pro musician & live in Detroit Mi it’s time for an awd gear hauler to get me to shows on time. This is the bestbuy, most fun to drive manual of all the competition Ive driven recently. Mine coming get in the end of Dec.
My favourite brand :-)
3rd like and 6 view! I've always wanted to see this one and the music matched.
Thank you! Great info.
Keep up the good work, guys!
I can't wait for the all new forester to come out. Just 1 more month until reviews start coming out hopefully.
You'll miss the Turbo. I know I do. So glad I have my '18 TX
Why? No turbo, no stick shift, just boring old CVT. It will be the worlds most boring car.....zzz....zzz...zzz...zzz...
Nice Review Of 2019 Subaru Crosstrek. 😁
Thanks! Glad you enjoyed!
Hope the 2020 premium model adds at least projector headlights and keyless entry. I'd get one and would be happy to pay a little extra for those features.
Good review boys.
Shoulda been Sunshine Orange 🤚
Nice review of the interior and exterior. But I was a bit disappointed with the driving test limited to the parking lot.
Thank you for expressing that in a nice way. We couldn't secure the dealer plate that day but we normally have much better test drives. Thanks for watching!
Nice job guys.
nice review!
Great review guys
Thanks!
My wife owns a 2018 limited. It's identical to this. I have but three main gripes. Inexcusable for what we paid. 1. No memory seat. 2 No rear ventilation. On hot days the rear occupants will suffer. 3 The remote starter requires a 2nd remote. Why? My 14 Pathfinder has the starter built into the key fab. Otherwise she likes the car very much
had to buy one of these in pumpkin color. it's probably the most pragmatic car to purchase on the market right now for snow/rocky/muddy roads. it's speed is comparable to the other Subaru models with 4 cylinders, except the WRX which requires a moon roof and a vape.
Very nice car and good teview
I wish the Limited had option for 6-speed manual
I liked your video, but I have two suggestions for your future videos. One: when you point at something, don't block it from the viewer (e.g., Android Play description). Two: when reviewing a product, don't allow rival product placement (e.g., wearing an Audi hat during a Subaru review). I think you did a good job. I offer these suggestions with respect and to help you to make your future videos even better.
We appreciate the feedback! Have a great weekend!
Do your research on the lifespan and dependability of the CVT transmission!!!!!
If I'm not mistaken, they don't build their own. and
The car is great, EXCEPT for the unreliability of the transmission. Be careful
Great review! I’m debating between this or a Forester!
Wow!!!! Red car 😍😍😍😍😍😍😍
If only I could opt out of leather seats and the eye sight on the limited, I’d get a limited.
Very Informative! Thank you.
Thanks!
I used to think this cars were ugly as fuck but now the looks are growing on me. I have a brand new full size pick and I'm looking to replace my jeep renegade with a Impreza or crosstrek
I’d consider if they dropped in the 2.5 from the forester or the 2.0 from the BRZ. No turbo pls.
Good news lol
Good review thanks
Glad you liked it!
Great job
Nice review and I lt
Great info... Thank you
Thanks Brian!
I thought this was cool but seeing it comes with a manual transmission... Oh yeah. I'd like this.
Looks good but it doesn't have a lot of options. USB port or voltage outlet in the back, the passenger's seat is power rather than manual.,..etc
Had it since August 2018, and I guess it's ok, and as for the power, at start up from a dead stop, it's weak, not that you want a dragstrip car, but it just feels throttled
Hi ....I am experiencing ongoing radio / bluetooth problems. I started a lease in feb 2018, put down a big deposit....once the car is warmed up....the whole system goes haywire.....it is unusable....cant use radio or bluetooth, maps....nothing...the screens just rotate through.....buttons dont work...
my local dealer has taken it in and tried to fix it....replaced the whole radio system two times, replaced the usb cable ports..... the can't figure it out..... yet i still have this car that is not fully functioning and for which i am paying full lease fees! I am infuriated. they've told me to go to subaru canada. I can't get through to them on their customer service line.... this has been ongoing for 10 months!!!!!
any suggestions?
I thought the Hardon Cardon sound system came in all the limited trims?🤔
if this had a turbo I wouldn't even hesitate ugh
Nice review but it seems like every time I hear about a feature that I like, it’s followed by the “limited “ word.
Matthew Trinh yeah there are a lot of Limited exclusive features haha
One thing i dislike about my crosstrek is the seats are a little too small for me. My bottom goes over the seat or hits the plastic too much. For the time being, its not bad since i dont drive very far for work but if i had a long drive, it may become annoying
I just brought the 2019 Crosstrek, however I’m not sure which trim I have. Seems to be a hard thing for me to look up. If anyone knows where to find that please let me know. That being said one issue I have is that the doors don’t lock when put into drive or after reaching a certain speed, such as 5 MPH. I consider this to be a lack in their safety features. And the buttons are small and not that easy to see. Still, I love my car.
Hi. Im in South Africa with a mix of tarred and some rough roads, so im seriously considering the 2019 subaru xv. Is there an app that would go with my phone?
I just got 2013 5pd crosstrek love it so far when. I found out Europe has desiel verson I'm like why not have in States or have a regular turbo
Once issue that all reviewers on youtube MISS...is that the rear hatch can NOT be opened by a latch inside....can NOT be opened with an inside pull and can ONLY be opened with the electronic key fob.....I have a 2018 and find this a hassle...at best
That is very true! Unfortunately we only spend a few hours with the vehicle and don't notice the things that owners do
That is a really nice red.
Sadly, in Arsetralia we get the most boring red ever devised so I'll be buying the blue or dark grey.
WE had the venetian red here a while ago. I agree the current red is awful.
Awesome
Orange stitching on a red car? Not liking that idea.
I have a 2017 Crosstrek, and it's a good car, Starlink is an utter dumpster fire of bugs and vulnerabilities, which ruined Subaru as a whole for me.
Great video. is there much difference in exterior / interior between the 2018 vs 19 model? thanks
Thanks! There are no major differences between the 18 and 19
Great review, but the one thing I missed was visibility. I want to know about seeing what is behind me. What is coming up along side me on the freeway? How well do the side mirrors tell me what's going on around me? So many new cars have awful visibility. That's a main reason I stick with a 20-year-old Grand Cherokee. Also, what is it like to parallel park?
While we didn't do any parallel parking, the viability is quite good compared to most rivals. The front quarter window is beneficial and the back window is pretty wide, in my opinion.
Cool. I've read there is a hybrid version coming in 2019. I'm looking to update my ride, and I hope to test drive one of these someday. (I'm keeping the Jeep however.)
I just bought a 2019 Limited Crosstrek with all the options. Visibility is supurb. The forward beams along the windshield are angled perfectly and they aren't as chunky as the are on other models in this class. The side mirrors are smaller than I expected, but still provide exceptional viewing. I'm have the bezeless review mirror with homelink and it's amazing. I opted for all dimming mirrors which makes for great night driving. The backup camera is very crisp and provides just the right amount of information for safely backing up. All windows provide great visibility.
Crosstrek or Plastek?
Are the actual taillights and brake lights LED? Just not the turn signals ?
I skipped the CVT and the unnecessary "features". 2.0 6 speed manual premium.
I should of got this Subaru over my Honda Civic! I'm mad!😡
I KNOW ME TOO I got a 2018 Honda Civic and im so upset i got it and not a subaru
Me Too!! I Got The Honda CR-V Wish I Got This Instead
I traded in my civic for the crosstrek 3 days after i made my comment
abkayla1T hahaha nice im about to get one rn!
abkayla1T how much are you paying monthly and how much is your insurance asking cause I really like this car and I want it 😌
30 plus thousand dollars is not a cheap Subaru 😂
This is a very good point. For the same price as a loaded Limited, you could get an Outback Premium with EyeSight that includes a power driver's seat AND power lumbar, a better engine, more room and a better ride.
Especially considering the lack of power
Anthony M it has plenty of power. Lack of power would mean it has a hard time doing highway speeds or can’t keep up speed on a steep incline. Neither of those things are true...
Base models are pretty affordable. I have a 2018 base 6mt, paid 20k
In the video he is referring to the limited
Mason out here struggling 16:30
😂😂
power to weight ratio equals plenty of power.
No sunglasses storage is a real shame.
I have had a 2014 Crosstrek and now a 2016 Crosstrek. I was looking at a 2019 Crosstrek Limited at my local dealer, and was not impressed with the interior.
Love you reviews, but there are no vents for the back seats even on the top trim?
Yea that seems like an oversight
And no power outlets in the back seat. I can live without the heated back seats, but power and air vents? Maybe not
The vents are underneath the front seats. The USB ports are in the center console, with a cable pass-through.
Doesn't the premium trim also come with heated seats? Also, did they correct the issue where if you left the volume on high, and you start the car, it's takes a while for the head unit to load... and you have the previous volume blasting on high as you wait for the head unit to be ready so that you can turn down the volume ?
You are absolutely correct! Heated seats do come on the Premium trim as well. So sorry, but thanks for catching the mistake!
Wish I could be more helpful on the volume issue, but all I can say is that we didn't have any issues out of our Crosstrek during our 3-4 hours with it.
Hey I was wondering I thought they added 2 USB ports to the rear is it only on the Limited?
When is the Crosstrek Plug-in hybrid due out, and will that give the Crosstrek more accelerating power?
Subaru hasn't said exactly when it will come out but it should be later in the fall or early next year. It will share hybrid components with the Prius Prime so I wouldn't think it would feel much more powerful but who knows
But does it have orange stitching though?
What conditions will cause the gasoline engine to engage?
18:09 That looks just like my car except mine has 6 spoke wheels.
Do all limited models come with remote start?
When the steering wheel is straight, have you notice if it leans to the right?
Not on this example
50% forester + 50% levorg = crosstek
So Crosstrek, Rogue Sport, Tuscon; which one would you own?
Tuscon because it looks the best (to me) and doesn't have a CVT
Thank you for the feedback
I use to own a 2014 Crossterk, CVT premium, no power (specially when loaded), noisy nothing but trouble after 60K miles rear wheel bearings, front axle shafts, AC compressor and condenser, idler pulleys, break switch, burned oil (1 qt every 5K miles) the CVT was a nightmare, shuddering and bucking since 12K miles got worse with age. By 85 K the CVT was unbearable and another axle was clicking, stereo system blows, Symmetrical AWD is over rated because VDC (programming) cuts throttle when slipping in snow, leaving the drive no control .. Sold It and bought the wife a 2019 Tucson Sport... so far no issues (the Subaru had 3 dealer visits in the first year), plenty of power and space, solid, 100K warranty, smooth ride, quiet interior and nice stereo information system... pleasure to drive. AWD is good enough in auto and can be 50/50 locked by the driver when needed. 27 MPG's is only 2 less then the overstated Crosstrek. Good Luck
@@vs8580 So aside from that it was fine?
hi guys im curious about the cvt, apparently it creates problems after 100k kms on the odomoter. anyone experience this? ive wanted to buy it soon but this reason is holding me alittle back
I have a Subaru Crosstrek Limited it's a 2018 model. I like everything about it concluding the power. Don't understand the complaints about power. If you want more power buy a a sports car, so then go and buy something else. But then you will lose out on a great vehicle that does everything well. So stop the stupid comments about lack of power
Is a 1 CD, CD player standard equipment on the premium
Thanks, I'm picking up a 2019 standard on Friday.
By standard I mean manual trans.
How do you compare this vehicle to the 2019 HRV? In the past I’ve always heard that Subarus have more power compared to the HRV; Does the same hold with this model?
Umm I'm not really sure, I'd have to have them back to back. What I do know is that neither have a great deal of power. Sorry, I know that's not real helpful
I drove both. The crosstrek feels a little faster. Hrv has a 1.8L and the Crosstrek has a 2.0L. I currently drive a 17 wrx so I know the HRV and Crosstrek is not made for speed but I actually had fun driving both cars. It's for different purposes you know. Crosstrek will have the extra pep of acceleration while the HRV sometimes when you floor it from a stop your like oh ok. It's slow. It has low end torque but once it accelerates it goes. I merged on the highway fine actually and the motor is quieter than I thought.
I have driven both the 2018 HRV and the 2019 Crosstrek, and I prefer the Crosstrek. The HRV had quite a bit of play in the gas pedal before it gave any get-up-and-go to the engine, and it felt cheap - doors did not feel solid and interior was not very well-made, rear seat was just a bench; I understand that it has great cargo capacity, but my impression was that that space comes at a cost of materials.. I had read reports that the Crosstrek was 'slow', but that was not my experience, and spec-wise, it has slightly more power than the HRV and Mazda CX3 at 6000 rpm. I drove (and briefly owned) the 2019 Mazda CX-3, (which was totaled in a MVC) and am most impressed by the Crosstrek, which I didn't even look at when I bought the CX-3 due to lukewarm reviews. The Crosstrek is fun to drive, and the amount of power it has surprised me. I wanted to like the HRV more, but I simply did not.
Did he say prowess weird?
so its basically a 2018?
Yeah basically. Not much changed from 2018 to 2019
Still under powered. I floored it and it barely accelerates. I compared it to the Jerp Compass which was faster at passing and had More standard features! Every year I really hope Subaru listens to feedback but they never do. Sad.
Have you reviewed the 2019 Jeep Cherokee yet?
No, not yet. It will definitely be on the agenda to do though!
no auto hold?
where in yonkers is that dealership
