The Subaru Crosstrek Hybrid 2026 comes with a new series-parallel hybrid system, combining a modified 2.5-liter boxer engine with two electric motors.

With a total output of 194 hp, the model offers better performance than the non-hybrid version, which has 182 hp. The 0.6 kWh battery is not plug-in, but it ensures a range of up to 933 km with the 16.6-gallon tank. Although Subaru has not yet released exact fuel economy figures, it is estimated to be at least 14 km/l.

The new Crosstrek Hybrid offers symmetrical all-wheel drive, an exclusive feature of Subaru, which ensures consistent performance on all types of terrain. Unlike other hybrids with front-wheel drive and a rear electric motor, the Crosstrek’s mechanical system maintains balance between the axles, providing a more stable drive, especially in adverse conditions such as ice or snow.

Inside, the Crosstrek Hybrid retains a functional and practical design, with a 12.3-inch digital dashboard and an 11.6-inch entertainment screen. While the cargo space is slightly reduced due to the battery placement, the overall configuration of the model remains well balanced.

The new model will also come in two exclusive colors, and the price has yet to be confirmed, with the non-hybrid version ranging from $27,115 to $33,915.
