All-new for 2013, this tiger is essentially an Impreza with a more utilitarian purpose. Increased ground clearance, more striking body cladding and distinctive wheels help set the XV Crosstrek apart. It goes without saying that it comes with all-wheel drive in addition to a 2.0L 4-cylinder engine. This vehicle fills a void on the market and is a very good compromise between a bona-fide SUV and an urban oriented AWD.
