2022 HR-V vs Crosstrek: Performance

This offers you a customizable driving experience suited to your needs. You can also upgrade this feature with the available dual-mode paddle shifters.

On the other hand, the Crosstrek comes with the 6-speed manual transmission. Although a CVT is available on certain models, it does not come equipped with a sport mode and is only standard in higher trim levels of the Subaru Crosstrek.


Generous Interior Space in the HR-V & Crosstrek

The insides of the Honda and the Subaru are within inches of each other when it comes to headroom and legroom in the front, providing a comfortable road experience for the driver and passengers.

However, when it comes to cargo space, one of these crossovers seems to stand out more than the other. Plus, the same crossover has a little more room in the rear.
