Consumer Reports only selects a handful of vehicles each year for its annual 10 Best list, and we're honored that two Subaru models made the cut. The Subaru Forester and Subaru Crosstrek are affordable, functional, safe, and comfortable vehicles that reflect our commitment to delivering exceptional quality to customers, said Jeff Walters, President and Chief Operating Officer of Subaru of America.

For the third year running, Consumer Reports has named the Subaru Crosstrek the best subcompact SUV. Reviewers noted that the 2026 model returns with even more positive attributes, including Subaru's next-generation hybrid powertrain. Experts praised the Crosstrek's versatility, smooth ride, handling, and ground clearance.

The 2026 Subaru Crosstrek is now available in Base, Premium, Sport, Sport Hybrid, Limited, Limited Hybrid, and Wilderness trims, with a starting MSRP of $26,995.

The 2026 Subaru Forester has been named the best compact SUV by Consumer Reports for the 13th consecutive year. Beyond its comfortable ride, strong safety ratings, spacious interior, and Subaru's Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive system, reviewers highlighted the fuel efficiency of the Forester Hybrid, making this exceptional SUV even more appealing. The 2026 Subaru Forester is on sale now with a starting MSRP of $29,995.
