What SUV Class Are the Subaru Crosstrek and Toyota Corolla Cross Part Of?

The Subaru Crosstrek and Toyota Corolla Cross are both compact SUVs. This class is fairly unique as it combines some qualities you expect from SUVs, such as cabin space and capability, at more affordable pricing and with better fuel economy than larger vehicles. If those are the traits you want, you'll find that the Crosstrek provides more value and better efficiency than the Corolla Cross, and the Subaru SUV comes out ahead in other areas as well.

Cabin Dimensions

Some car shoppers worry that compact SUVs don't have the cabin space they need, but the Subaru Crosstrek is sure to surprise them. It has 100.9 cubic feet of passenger volume with an especially generous amount of legroom, 43.1 inches in the 1st row and 36.5 inches in the rear, and shoulder room, over 55.5 inches in both rows. The Toyota Corolla Cross maxes out at 93.8 cubic feet of passenger space, which shows with specs such as 32.0 inches of rear legroom and a rear-row width of just 52.5 inches.

Performance
