What is the best subcompact SUV you can buy this summer? The more things change, the more they stay the same. Auto123 gave awards in 22 categories, and In the running for the best subcompact SUV of the year are the Subaru Crosstrek, Mazda CX-30, and Hyundai Kona. They say one is just too good all around to be ignored when it comes to choosing the best vehicle in this class.
Which subcompact SUV is the best subcompact SUV of the year?
Auto123 picked the 2023 Subaru Crosstrek over its two top rivals. They say, “In the end, it was the Subaru Crosstrek that beat its rivals to the finish line. It's simple: this model (the 2023 Subaru Crosstrek) is just too good all around to be ignored.”
Auto123 says, “In the case of the Crosstrek, even when the model changes this year, the current version is still very solid. Not only does it offer off-road style, it's capable of going off-road with its competent all-wheel drive.”
Should you wait for the next-generation 2024 Crosstrek?
The good news is, the 2024 Subaru Crosstrek is arriving now at U.S. retailers. The base and Premium trims are the first to arrive, and the Sport and Limited come this summer. The 2024 Crosstrek Wilderness gets to U.S. retailers this fall.
The 2023 Crosstrek is the best pick of the year, but the new model gets better. The third-generation 2024 Crosstrek gets a complete redesign from the ground up. It will come with improved ride quality, the next-generation EyeSight safety technology, new interior upgrades with more comfortable seats, and new exterior styling changes.
