How we verify Subaru Crosstrek performance data

We include only independently published road-test results from automotive publications. Manufacturer-claimed 0–60 times are excluded unless clearly labeled. When multiple publications test the same Subaru Crosstrek trim, each run is listed separately — weather, tires, surface, rollout, and instrumentation all affect results.

Subaru Crosstrek performance FAQs

6 questions

The quickest Subaru Crosstrek on record is the 2021 Subaru Crosstrek Limited, which runs 0–60 mph in 7.5 seconds and clears the quarter-mile in 16.00 seconds at 88.0 mph.

The slowest recorded Subaru Crosstrek is the 2024 Subaru Crosstrek Premium, which takes 10.5 seconds to reach 60 mph and runs 17.90 seconds in the quarter.

Averaged across all 22 verified runs, a Subaru Crosstrek reaches 60 mph in 8.62 seconds and completes the quarter-mile in 16.65 seconds at roughly 84.4 mph.

We have verified test data for 5 model years. Each year shows every recorded run, the publication that measured it, and the trim-level details.

Every figure is sourced from published road tests by Car and Driver, Motor Trend and Motor Week. We don't use manufacturer claims — only independently timed runs — so the numbers reflect what the car actually does.

0–60 and quarter-mile results depend on driver technique, ambient temperature, tire condition, road surface, altitude, and testing instrumentation. A published figure is a single sample, not an absolute — which is why we show the range of verified runs rather than one number.

0–60 and quarter-mile times vary with driver, weather, tire temperature, and wear. We collect every verified run we can find — so you see the range of what a Subaru Crosstrek can do, not a single marketing claim.
