Along with light aesthetic update, Subaru’s Impreza-based Crosstrek gains an optional 2.5-liter boxer four for the 2021 model year. The new engine is reserved for Sport and Limited models and brings a sizable 30 additional horsepower over the base 2.0-liter four, but it can only be paired with a CVT transmission and does little to change the character of this subcompact crossover.

Sharing the engine with the Outback wagon and Forester SUV, the Crosstrek Sport and Limited’s new 2.5-liter boxer-four produces 182 horsepower and 176 pound-feet of torque. That’s 30 horsepower more than before.

All-wheel drive is standard on the Crosstrek, and power is sent to the wheels through a continuously variable automatic transmission (CVT). A six-speed manual is standard on models with the 2.0-liter engine.

The 2.5-liter boxer-four propelled the 2021 Crosstrek Limited to 60 mph in 7.5 seconds. That’s 1.6 seconds quicker than the 2.0-liter did during our testing.
