The Crosstrek's base 152-hp four-cylinder engine makes a lot of noise but doesn't offer a lot of motivation. Like most other Subarus, all-wheel drive is standard on the Crosstrek, a rarity in the small SUV marketplace where it's usually optional or sometimes not offered at all. The Sport model's enhanced features-unique 17-inch wheels, yellow-stitched upholstery, faux-carbon-fiber trim, and advanced driving modes-are nice, but the more powerful 182-hp 2.5-liter engine is what makes it worthy of the upcharge. Subaru has made no notable changes to the Crosstrek for 2022, so its smallest SUV rolls into the new year with the same styling, features, and powertrains that it had the previous model year. Luckily, there's a speedier Sport model and an eco-friendly plug-in hybrid option to choose from. Driving enthusiasts won't find much to be excited about, though, and the Crosstrek's base engine is woefully underpowered.

Its roof rack can accommodate a kayak or two, there's plenty of space behind the back seat for a box full of yoga mats, and its durable-if somewhat plain-interior is easy to clean after a muddy hike. Instead, it excels at tasks that'll likely endear it to those same influencers. Sure, it has more ground clearance than an Impreza hatchback, but this car-based crossover isn't going to tackle real trails alongside Jeeps and Land Rovers. With a rugged image and standard all-wheel drive, the 2022 Subaru Crosstrek is the Instagram influencer's idea of what an SUV should be.
