When you're looking for an SUV, the last thing your want is compromises. Unfortunately, that's something that many Norwich and Lebanon drivers have come to expect when they go home in a subcompact SUV.
It doesn't have to be that way. New models like the 2021 Subaru Crosstrek delivers everything from great features and interior comfort to all-terrain performance and more! Offering features like standard all-wheel-drive, there's good reasons why the Subaru Crosstrek is a favorite on the roads of Hanover, NH and more.
Just how much does the 2022 Crosstrek offer? Let's take a look at how it compares to other compact models: the Toyota CH-R and the Honda HR-V.

While the CH-R and HR-V do offer AWD, you'll need to pay extra to get it. The Subaru Crosstrek offers all-wheel-drive as a standard feature. That, combined with its better performance options and more rugged design, make it a far better option for drivers who want actual sport performance from their sports utility vehicle.
