Fueling Frenemies: The Subaru Crosstrek and Hyundai Venue Showcasing Two Paths to Efficiency The compact crossover segment has become a testing ground for two disparate approaches to efficiency.
On one hand, the 2026 Hyundai Venue SEL relies on its lightweight front wheel drive frame and modest 1. 6 liter engine to achieve an impressive 37. 8 mpg average in real world driving conditions.
In contrast, the 2026 Subaru Crosstrek Limited Hybrid takes a more complex approach, pairing a 2. 5 liter 4 cylinder Boxer engine with electric motors to generate 194 horsepower.
