Which has more features, the Crosstrek or the Outback?

Although these vehicles are priced very differently, they both come well equipped. The Outback, however, comes with more premium level features. It also has more trim offerings – nine versus five in the Crosstrek. Nevertheless, the Crosstrek offers a PHEV model, which the Outback currently does not.

Are PHEVs worth the extra money one pays over their traditionally powered counterparts?

Generally, yes. Over its lifetime, a PHEV can save enough in fuel costs to cover the difference in initial pricing. Plus, there may be tax incentives to offset the cost. Consider, too, that reducing carbon emissions has a value on which you may not be able to put a price.
