Drivers shopping for a versatile and fuel-efficient model often compare the 2026 Subaru Crosstrek Hybrid to the 2026 Toyota Corolla Cross Hybrid. Though they may seem similar at first glance, a little research and a test drive will prove that the Subaru model edges out the competition in just about every category. Visit Freehold Subaru to see for yourself why the Subaru hybrid reigns supreme.

Performance Specifications

The Subaru  Crosstrek Hybrid boasts several brand-exclusive performance components, including a 2.5-liter BOXER® engine that teams up with two electric motors and a lithium-ion battery, Subaru Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive®, and dual-function X-MODE® with Hill Descent Control. Its 18-inch wheels and 8.7 inches of ground clearance mean you'll command the streets and conquer rough terrain.

Conversely, the Toyota Corolla Cross Hybrid is powered by a 2.0-liter engine. Front-wheel drive comes standard, with all-wheel drive only available on higher-level trims.

Interior Design Comparison

When you visit our Freehold, NJ, Subaru dealership, you'll see there's no contest on interior design. The Subaru Crosstrek Hybrid boasts standard sport cloth upholstery or available perforated StarTex® water-repellent surfaces, a ten-way power driver's seat, wireless device charging, a leather-wrapped steering wheel and shifter, and an 11.6-inch multimedia navigation screen.

Inside the Toyota model, you'll find fabric upholstery, an 8-inch touchscreen, a six-way manual driver's seat, and USB charging outlets.

Safety and Driver Assistance Features

New Subaru models like the Subaru Crosstrek Hybrid lead the pack in safety and driver assistance features. Here are just a few examples of what's included in the EyeSight® suite:

  • Advanced adaptive cruise control with lane centering
  • Automatic emergency steering
  • Blind-spot detection
  • DriverFocus®
  • Lane departure and sway warning
  • Pre-collision braking
  • Pre-collision throttle management

Although the Toyota Corolla Cross Hybrid also offers a robust safety suite, it simply can't keep up with the brand-exclusive innovations that come standard in the Subaru model.
