9. Subaru XV Crosstrek

The Subaru XV Crosstrek is an odd looking vehicle, with high ground clearance, big wheels, and body lines. It almost looks like a taller, wider, wagon version of the Subaru Impreza. The interior has a no frills attitude, with bland design and an abundance of plastic. The XV Crosstrek is powered by a 148 horsepower four-cylinder engine, coupled to either a five-speed manual or an optional CVT transmission. The gas mileage on the XV Crosstrek is impressive for its size, getting 23 city and 30 highway estimated mpg. A hybrid version of the XV Crosstrek is offered, but it lacks engine power and costs quite a bit more, unless you expect to spend a lot on gas the gasoline powered XV Crosstrek should suit your needs. An economical choice for the crossover market, the XV Crosstrek delivers in the areas that count.
