TrueDelta Reviews the Real Gas Mileage of the Subaru Crosstrek

Subaru Crosstrek Real Gas Mileage: Pros
YearComment
2021 The Subaru Crosstrek is also relatively inexpensive to operate. Compared to other small crossovers with all-wheel-drive, the Subaru Crosstrek Sport scores among the highest on the EPA's tests: 27 mpg city and 34 mpg highway. With its turbocharged engine, the Seltos SX checks in quite a bit lower: 25 city, 30 highway. Even a Seltos with Kia's 2.0-liter non-turbo engine can only match the Crosstrek Sport with a 2.5-liter engine in the city test; in the highway test it manages only 31 mpg. A Honda HR-V with AWD ties that Seltos: 27/31. Crosstreks with Subaur's 2.0-liter engine score one mpg better in the city test but one mpg worse in the highway test. So the larger engine in the Sport and Limited entail little if any fuel economy penalty. During my winter driving the trip computer reported 28.5 mpg in town and 31.5 mph on the highway. For better city fuel economy, a Crosstrek Hybrid with EPA ratings of 36/34 and about 17 miles of electric-only range is offered in ten zero-emission vehicle mandate states. see full Subaru Crosstrek review
 

What Our Members Are Saying about the Real Gas Mileage of the Subaru Crosstrek

Subaru Crosstrek Real Gas Mileage: Pros
YearBody/PowertrainComment
2015 4dr Hatch 160-horsepower 2.0L H4 Hybrid
6-speed shiftable CVT AWD		 Economy is not stellar for a hybrid but very good for a car with AWD, great ground clearance, and good interior space. The stop/start system saves a ton of gas when driving around town, and at moderate country road speeds (around 50) the mileage is great, easily over 40 mpg for some trips. see full Subaru Crosstrek review
2013 4dr Hatch 148-horsepower 2.0L H4
6-speed shiftable CVT AWD		 The best mileage we have ever achieved in the Crosstrek is around 28mpg. We drive about 50% interstate, 30% highway and 20% city. see full Subaru Crosstrek review

2003 2dr Coupe 130-horsepower 2.0L I4
4-speed automatic FWD		 Very good. When I drive it in my mostly rural neighborhood, I get 25-27 MPG when not in winter. I know my son has done better on long trips. see full Ford Escort / ZX2 review
