Subaru Crosstrek vs the Competition
The Crosstrek really distinguishes itself with its standard all-wheel drive, a feature many competitors like the Honda HR-V and Hyundai Kona lack. The iconic Subaru Symmetrical AWD system provides exceptional traction and control in all weather and road conditions. The Crosstrek also boasts an impressive 8.7 inches of ground clearance, giving it light off-roading that outclasses the Mazda CX-30 and most other subcompact SUVs that ride lower down.
Inside, the Crosstrek offers ample passenger space with plenty of headroom and legroom, even for taller occupants. With up to 55.3 cubic feet of maximum cargo capacity, the Crosstrek also brings one of the most accommodating cabins in its class. Throughout the cabin, high-quality materials and smart ergonomics make the Crosstrek a joy to spend time in on any trip around Tampa, Largo, FL, and beyond.
Under the hood, you’ll have two four-cylinder engines to choose from, both of which deliver smooth, efficient performance dynamics when you’re cruising around St. Pete and Clearwater. When properly equipped, the Crosstrek achieves up to an EPA-estimated 33 mpg on the highway, putting it ahead of the Jeep Renegade. Advanced safety tech is another area where the Crosstrek shines. Every model comes standard with the Subaru EyeSight package, a suite of features like adaptive cruise control and automatic pre-collision braking that few rivals can match.
When setting out looking for the perfect ride around Tampa and St. Petersburg, see how the new Subaru Crosstrek compares to other subcompact SUVs for sale in this area. While we’ll help you research the many advantages this small crossover brings over its closest competitors, nothing beats a test drive in the new Crosstrek, so visit Fitzgerald’s Countryside Subaru in Clearwater today and we’ll get you started.
