Summary
Do you feel your dog is judging your vehicle's gas mileage? It'll be happy to know that the Subaru Crosstrek is now available as a more efficient hybrid. This isn't the first Crosstrek to run with a gas-electric powertrain, but it might be the best. Smoother and more powerful than the gas-only version, the hybrid might be the way to go if the bump in price is affordable. And know you might not make that money back in a timely manner. But it does keep the brand's famous Symmetrical AWD with a real drive shaft to the back axel. Tom Voelk checks out a fully loaded Limited model with $395 Sand Dune Peral paint, and the $1,600 Option Package that adds a powered sunroof and surround view camera monitor.
