Car Buyer's Guide

Overview

The Subaru Crosstrek is a C-segment SUV sold in Malaysia as a single five-seat 2.0 i-S EyeSight variant. It suits buyers after a petrol Subaru with a 1,995 cc engine, CVT automatic and EyeSight driver assistance, rather than those shopping at the lower end of the class. Price starts and ends at RM190,788.

Crosstrek in 2026 — what's new

The GU Subaru Crosstrek is new to Malaysia for 2026, arriving after a local preview and then a full launch. The Malaysian car is a CBU Japan 2.0-litre naturally aspirated petrol model with a CVT and EyeSight 4.0 ADAS. Overseas hybrid news does not change the local range: Malaysia gets the 2.0 i-S EyeSight petrol variant only.

Verdict

The Crosstrek’s case is clear but narrow: CBU Japan, 2.0-litre naturally aspirated petrol power, CVT and EyeSight 4.0 in one specification. The price is high against several C-segment SUV rivals, sitting above the Proton eMas 7, Proton X70, Jetour Dashing, BYD Sealion 7 and Peugeot 5008, while just under the Renault Koleos. Buy it for the Subaru package, not the lowest outlay.
