All-Wheel Drive Matters in Colorado
The biggest difference for Aurora drivers is drivetrain. Every Crosstrek comes with Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive at no extra cost. The HR-V comes standard with front-wheel drive, and all-wheel drive is an extra-cost option on each trim. When snow hits I-225 or the Traction Law goes into effect on I-70, the Crosstrek is ready no matter which trim you choose.
More Power and More Choices
The Crosstrek's 180-horsepower 2.5-liter engine gives it a power advantage over the HR-V's 158-horsepower 2.0-liter, which you'll notice merging onto E-470 or climbing into the foothills. The Crosstrek also offers two things the HR-V doesn't: a hybrid powertrain with 194 combined horsepower and the trail-ready Crosstrek Wilderness.
Where the HR-V Fits
The HR-V is a well-built, comfortable small SUV, and if you rarely leave the pavement and don't need all-wheel drive, it's a reasonable option. But for drivers who want standard AWD, more power, and the option of a hybrid or a more capable trail trim, the Crosstrek offers more for Colorado life.
