- The 2024 Subaru Crosstrek has a tough job ahead of it. When Small SUV buyers think 'Subaru', they think 'XV'. The problem is the XV is no more - well, kind of. You see, the Crosstrek is the new-generation XV in all but name. It even looks the same, such is the Japanese brand's evolutionary approach to exterior design.
Either way, Subaru has to re-market Crosstrek/XV to make sure would-be buyers are still captured. But what does the Crosstrek have to offer them? Well, CarsGuide Managing Editor Tim Nicholson has spent three months living with its AWD 2.0R variant to find out.
In this expert review, he presents the highs and lows of Crosstrek AWD 2.0R ownership, covering its pricing, features, safety, practicality and fuel efficiency as well as how well it - or doesn't - drive. Needless to say, there's plenty to unpack here.

Bring the 2.5L to Australia!
How do they justify no aircon vents in the rear that too for Australian Summer !!!
Test drove this a few weeks back and although I loved driving it and thought the 360 camera and other tech was quality, the deal breaker for me was that there are no rear vents (a must in Australia) and no front sensors.
I test drove it extensively and wouldn’t know how to get fuel consumption above 10ltr per 100km… 😂 I have been between 6.5 and 8.0ltr in mixed driving conditions…
12.6/100K's?..that's almost VF Commodore V8 territory.
I drive 2018 XV 2.0 and have average of 7.3 to 7.5L in town. It seems this guy has been rough on the car.
CVT is the enemy of this car, add in the small boot too.
3:10 The mismatched horizontal and vertical air vents really bugs me. Just doesn't look balanced.
Next year I believe we are getting 2.5 litres in Subaru Crosstrek and new Impreza in 2025.
No rear air vents is madness.
12.5 lt/ 100 doesn't sound right at all. I consistently average around 8.
he must have flogged the bejeezus out of it. Underpowered 4 will do that
Yeah I would have been nice for an explanation about that
i know!!! its terrible!!
I think it’s a good car for the countryman or woman who doesn’t need a big boot. Will make it up the gravel tracks, sure footed and reliable, but not too exciting.
12.6 per 100km... Are you sure that's correct??? If so, that is terrible fuel economy!
Everyone call it as Crosstrek anyway so XV is not fondly remembered hate that name. As a small 'SUV' this is real AWD and again proper Subaru engineer so well worth the premium.
12.6L per 100klms? ..... because you have to thrash this underpowered thing to get anywhere?
Not realistic at all. I drive 2018 2.0 and average a maximum of 7.5 L in town. I don't how he got 12 L
Sounds like a paid promotion. Missing further reference to the elephant in the room! 12.6 litres/100 km - give me a break 😂
They typically use around 7.5L/100km. He’s flogging it pretty hard if he’s getting 12.6.
A car no older Subaru enthusiast could love. Two litre engine and CVT. At least it’s got all the safety tech so people who shouldn’t be driving can continue to drive with their heads up their arses.
