Subaru has announced that it will discontinue the gasoline-powered version of its Crosstrek beginning with the 2027 model year, making the hybrid variant the only powertrain available for its second best-selling model after the larger Forester.

The move marks another step in Subaru's electrification strategy, as the company shifts its focus toward more fuel-efficient vehicles without significantly increasing prices.
