8. Subaru Crosstrek
If you’re looking for a compact SUV that doesn’t compromise on comfort, safety, or versatility, the Subaru Crosstrek might just be your perfect match. The Crosstrek is more than just a downsized version of the popular Subaru Forester; it’s a well-rounded vehicle that caters to the specific needs of seniors who want a reliable and easy-to-drive car that doesn’t feel bulky on the road.
Every Crosstrek comes equipped with Subaru’s EyeSight driver assist package, a cutting-edge system that includes automatic emergency braking, lane keeping and centering, adaptive cruise control, and even evasive steering assistance. These features work together seamlessly to help you navigate the road with confidence, knowing that your vehicle is actively working to keep you safe. For those looking for additional peace of mind, the Premium and Sport trims offer an optional blind-spot warning system with rear cross-traffic alert, while the Limited and rugged Wilderness trims come with this feature standard. Plus, the rear automatic braking on the Limited and Wilderness trims is a rare gem in the subcompact SUV segment, adding an extra layer of protection when you need it most.
Step inside the Crosstrek, and you’ll find an interior that’s as welcoming as it is functional. The control layout and infotainment system are simple and intuitive, allowing you to focus on the road without unnecessary distractions. Despite its compact exterior, the high roofline and spacious cabin make the Crosstrek feel much larger inside, providing ample headroom and a comfortable environment for both driver and passengers. The elevated seat height and wide door openings make getting in and out a breeze, so you can enjoy every journey without the hassle. While the seats might not offer the highest level of support, the ride comfort is superb, ensuring that even long drives are enjoyable.
With a starting price of $26,540 and a fuel economy of 27-29 mpg combined, the Subaru Crosstrek is a fantastic option for seniors who want a compact SUV that’s big on features and comfort, without the big size.
