Technology
Stay connected to the media you love with a 7.0- or 11.6-inch infotainment screen in the 2026 Crosstrek. This system provides intuitive smartphone connectivity with Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™, which becomes wireless with the larger screen. Upgrade through the lineup to include up to 10 speakers with a Harman Kardon® premium audio system.
The 2026 Honda HR-V only offers a screen that can measure up to 9.0 inches, and the 2026 Hyundai Kona will only offer up to eight speakers. Choosing the new Crosstrek for sale near Brookline can maximize connectivity without sacrificing a concert-like experience.
Design and Exterior Features
Anyone shopping for a small SUV with a more rugged design should consider the 2026 Crosstrek over the 2026 HR-V and Kona. The Crosstrek has more muscular proportions than the competitors' more elegant angles. LED Steering-Responsive Headlights are standard on the 2026 Crosstrek but not on competitors.
Standard roof rails enhance the silhouette and capabilities of every 2026 Crosstrek. The new HR-V and Kona do not include roof rails, which limits versatility for carrying large items. The Crosstrek offers different styling options for its Sport and Wilderness trims. The competitors don't have trim levels with standout details.
Interior Features
Keeping you comfortable in winter weather and summer heat near Boston is a top priority for the 2026 Crosstrek. Dual-zone automatic climate control is standard, with upgrades that can include heated front seats and a heated steering wheel. Generous passenger space and legroom can keep each seat right for traveling with adults.
The 2026 Kona and HR-V do not include standard dual-zone climate control, limiting the comfort of you and your passengers. While the Kona does provide slightly more overall passenger space, the front seats don't offer as much legroom. The HR-V falls behind in overall passenger space and front legroom.
Ground Clearance/Cargo Space
Choosing the 2026 Crosstrek will provide 8.7 inches of ground clearance, while the 2026 Crosstrek Wilderness increases that to 9.3 inches. Incredible ground clearance can make the Crosstrek a great choice for weekend adventures near North Reading. You won't even need to leave gear behind, as it offers a spacious cargo area ranging from 19.9 to 54.7 cubic feet.
The 2026 Kona only reaches 8.3 inches of ground clearance, and the 2026 Honda HR-V only has up to 7.3 inches. Less ground clearance means these SUVs are more at risk of scraping on obstacles or getting stuck. Scheduling a 2026 Crosstrek test drive near Belmont can show you everything it can include.
Safety
