 Now with a more powerful engine choice, improved off-road capability, and a plethora of features, the 2021 Subaru Crosstrek near Santa Fe NM is a versatile and excellent overall value for your money. It's a compact crossover SUV that offers standard all-wheel drive along with an abundance of safety equipment.

Because it's based on the Subaru Impreza hatchback, the Crosstrek drives much like a car but has a higher ground clearance and a more rugged style. It can also be had with a plug-in hybrid motor or your choice of two different 4-cylinder gasoline engines.

The Crosstrek comes in five different trim levels beginning with the least expensive Base model, and then moving up through Premium, Sport, Limited, and finally the hybrid model. 

For the 2021 model year, the availability of the 2.5-liter motor in the new Sport and Limited trims is big news! It produces 182 horsepower, which is a gain of 30 hp over the other 2.0-liter motor still used on the rest of the 2021 Crosstrek models.

The Base model Crosstrek, along with the Premium, are both available with a continuously variable transmission (CVT) or a 6-speed manual transmission, but the new Sport and Limited models are only available with CVT.

As well as the available 2.5-liter engine, the 2021 Subaru Crosstrek near Santa Fe NM gets a redesigned grille and front bumper across the line, and new 17 and 18-inch wheel designs. Furthermore, the Crosstrek Sport is a new model for 2021. So, it's highlighted by the new engine, plus StarTex water-repellent interior fabric, and styling updates that include bigger fender liners and a gunmetal-color grille. Lastly, the adaptive cruise control that's part of the EyeSight safety suite will now include automatic lane-centering.
