How many cylinders in a Subaru Crosstrek?

I’m looking for a family car with a bit of zest. It must be powerful enough to climb hills for our weekend adventures but sturdy enough to handle gear. How many cylinders in a Subaru Crosstrek?

There are four cylinders in a
Subaru Crosstrek
, regardless of model year or trim level.
The only engine available on a Crosstrek is a four-cylinder—and reviewers seem to be unanimous in their assessment of its flimsy power. Of course, most Subaru drivers are not looking for the power punch of a V6.
If you really need the extra horsepower of a V6, you’ll have to look outside the Subaru lineup. A used 2008-2012 Toyota RAV4 V6 is a good option. The MSRP for the base Crosstrek is $24,320. For a used
Toyota RAV4 Sport V6
, you can expect to spend about $15,000.
Buying a used car
is a great way to save some cash, if you don’t mind missing out on some of the newer technology absent in the older RAV4.
Otherwise, you’ll have to look at larger SUVs like the Ford Explorer and upgrade to an optional V6 trim level.
