C & D Test - 2026 Subaru Crosstrek Hybrid Tested: Subaru First, Hybrid Second
The Crosstrek Hybrid retains its mechanical all-wheel-drive setup despite the effect on fuel economy.

HIGHS: Quicker at around-town speeds than the nonhybrid, retains mechanical AWD, comfortable and straightforward cabin.

LOWS: Meh fuel-economy payoff, coarse and loud engine, notably pricier than the nonhybrid.

VERDICT: The Crosstrek Hybrid still feels like a Crosstrek, for better and for worse.

1:24.16

The Koenigsegg Sadair’s Spear has established a new lap record for homologated production cars at WeatherTech Raceway Laguna Seca on November 4, 2025. Despite a strict 90 dB noise limit on the day — a challenge met by fitting an additional, heavy muffler behind the rear of the Sadair’s Spear — factory test driver Markus Lundh achieved a blistering lap time of 1:24.16, verified by Racelogic.With minimal time on track, this achievement highlights the outstanding performance of the Sadair’s Spear and Koenigsegg’s proven in-house engineering solutions — even while contending with the added pendulum weight of the auxiliary muffler mounted behind the car.
