The more powerful 2021 Subaru Crosstrek likes hiking and cafes Casey Williams | Auto ReviewerAutoCasey@aol.com Whenever the history of Subaru is written, it’s the Outback that’s heralded as the successor to early DL and GL wagons from the 1970s and ’80s.
My family drives an Outback, and it’s an excellent automobile that I’d gladly buy again. (Watch a vide review below.) But that’s not the entire story.
Early Subarus were compact four-wheel-drive cars, not nearly full-size SUVs. So the true inheritor of Subaru’s early history is the Impreza-based Crosstrek.
For 2021, it packs more luxury and power than ever before — perfect for stomping up trails or just picking up dinner at an urban cafe.
