Powertrains and Performance
Under the hood, these two SUVs offer differing engine types and configurations. The Tonale features a versatile lineup, including a powerful 280 HP plug-in hybrid, alongside a 160 HP mild-hybrid and a 130 HP diesel option. Its acceleration capability is impressive, with the quickest version reaching 0-100 km/h in just 6.2 seconds. Fuel efficiency is another strong point, showing a combined consumption rate as low as 1.3 L/100 km, along with an electric range of 63 km courtesy of its 12 kWh battery.
Conversely, the Subaru Crosstrek is powered by a 136 HP petrol mild-hybrid engine, which may not be as powerful as the Tonale's offerings but still delivers a respectable performance, taking 10.8 seconds to accelerate from 0-100 km/h. It has a fuel consumption of 7.7 L/100 km, positioning it as a less fuel-efficient option compared to the Tonale.
