Compare the Subaru Crosstrek in Berlin, VT

Vermont driving asks a lot of a vehicle. Mud season, rough dirt roads, and snowy mornings can all happen within a few months. That's why so many drivers at 802 Subaru in Berlin, VT, compare the Subaru Crosstrek with other small SUVs before they buy.

Below, we've stacked the Crosstrek up against three popular rivals: the Honda HR-V, Toyota Corolla Cross, and Mazda CX-30. Each one is compared across the same categories, so you can see what matters most for life in the Green Mountain State.

Why Standard All-Wheel Drive Matters in Vermont

In a state where snow can linger into April, all-wheel drive isn't a luxury. It sends power to all four wheels for better grip on icy hills and slushy back roads. The Crosstrek includes all-wheel drive on every trim, while the HR-V and Corolla Cross make it an extra-cost option. Even though the XC-30 offers standard all-wheel drive, it cannot compare to the additional drive modes and off-road-ready capability of the Crosstrek.
