The 2025 Subaru Crosstrek is a top subcompact SUV for a number of reasons, but is it a good choice for you? Casey Subaru wants you to make a smart decision with your purchase. That’s why we’re taking a moment to compare one of our most popular new Subaru SUVs to the 2025 Chevrolet Trax.

Power and Performance

The 2025 Subaru Crosstrek has two engines to pick from, with the base a 2.0-liter, four-cylinder that offers 152 horsepower. That horsepower increases to 182 with the available 2.5-liter, four-cylinder. Great for daily driving, this SUV also has nice off-road ability. The Wilderness trim comes with all-terrain tires, off-road drive modes, and a front skid plate. The 2025 Chevrolet Trax only has a 137-horsepower turbocharged 1.2-liter, three-cylinder, and it’s not meant to be taken off-road, nor is it tow-rated.

Fuel Economy

Gas mileage is impressive with the 2025 Subaru Crosstrek, as it gets an EPA-estimated 27 MPG in the city and 34 MPG on the highway. To improve these numbers, you can get your vehicle in the form of a hybrid. The 2025 Chevrolet Trax gets an EPA-estimated 28 MPG in the city and 32 MPG on the highway, and it isn’t offered as a hybrid.

Safety Features

One of the hallmarks of Subaru is its focus on safety, and the 2025 Subaru Crosstrek comes with EyeSight®, which is a suite of advanced driver-assist aids. This includes:

  • Lane Departure and Sway Warning
  • Pre-Collision Braking
  • Adaptive Cruise Control
  • Automatic Emergency Steering

The 2025 Chevrolet Trax has some of these features, but adaptive cruise control isn’t standard.
