Subaru Crosstrek vs. Honda HR-V & Toyota Corolla Cross

Shopping the subcompact SUV class before heading to the Bronx? These are the questions we hear most often:

  • Do I have to pay extra for AWD, or does one of these come with it standard?
  • Is the Crosstrek roomier than the Corolla Cross?
  • Can I get a hybrid that still has real ground clearance?

Here's what stands out: the Crosstrek is the only one of the three with Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive standard on every trim – gas or hybrid – and Subaru's own measurements put its interior space ahead of the Corolla Cross's.

Milea Subaru put this breakdown together for shoppers across the Bronx, Westchester, Yonkers, and New Rochelle who want the real numbers up front.

One of These Doesn't Charge Extra for AWD

Most subcompact SUVs treat all-wheel drive as an add-on. The Crosstrek doesn't – ever.

Standard All‑Wheel Drive

Subaru Crosstrek:

Standard, Every Trim

Toyota Corolla Cross (Gas):

Honda HR-V (All Trims):

Optional (+$1,300–$1,450)

Optional, Not Standard

Honda skipped the hybrid question entirely with the HR-V, and Toyota only matches the Crosstrek's standard AWD once you move up to a Corolla Cross Hybrid trim.

Why it matters: More clearance and more interior room mean the Crosstrek can handle a pothole-heavy commute and a Costco run without asking you to size up to a bigger, pricier SUV.

A Track Record That Outlasts the Warranty

96% of Crosstrek vehicles sold over the last 10 years are still on the road. J.D. Power ranks the Crosstrek #1 for Dependability and Projected Resale Value among Small SUVs, and it's a Consumer Reports Top Pick – a distinction given to only 10 vehicles nationally. Subaru itself is Consumer Reports' Best Overall Automotive Brand for the second year running. Every Crosstrek Hybrid also carries an IIHS Top Safety Pick+ rating, and the current Crosstrek lineup earned a 5‑Star Overall Vehicle Score from NHTSA.

Standard EyeSight® Driver Assist Technology

Standard EyeSight® Driver Assist Technology

Adaptive cruise control, lane-centering assistance, forward collision mitigation, and Automatic Emergency Steering ship standard on every Crosstrek, no matter which trim you pick.

Standard X-MODE® with Hill Descent Control

Standard X‑MODE® With Hill Descent Control

Dual-function X-MODE® comes standard on every Crosstrek, not just the Wilderness – useful the moment the first snow hits the Bronx.

New Standard Rear-Seat Side Airbags

Newly Standard Rear‑Seat Side Airbags

New standard rear-seat side airbags add another layer of protection for passengers, part of why the Crosstrek earned a 5‑Star Overall Score from NHTSA.

Crosstrek Hybrid: Up to 597 Miles Per Tank

The Crosstrek Hybrid pairs more horsepower and torque than the gas model with up to 38% better city fuel economy and a total range of up to 597 miles per tank – all without giving up standard Symmetrical All‑Wheel Drive or the 8.7 inches of ground clearance that make every Crosstrek capable, even on a rough Bronx side street. The Honda HR-V still offers no hybrid option at all.

We have been extremely happy with our Forester and the service we receive at Milea. It was time to trade in for a new Forester and Engin and Nick made the process seamless. Couldn’t be happier!
