- The carryover Crosstrek costs $27,115, but it’s still priced less than AWD rivals
- Crosstrek Premium gets the 182-hp 2.5-liter flat-4 for the first time
- There’s no plug-in hybrid model, but a hybrid is coming
The 2025 Subaru Crosstrek small crossover mostly carries over following last year’s redesign, except the price increases $825 from the 2024 Crosstrek, Subaru disclosed Thursday.
The only other significant change is the Premium model, which is one step up from the base Crosstrek, now comes with the stronger 2.5-liter flat-4 rated at 182 hp and 178 lb-ft of torque. That leaves only the base model running on the 2.0-liter flat-4 rated at 152 hp and 145 lb-ft. All Crosstreks use a continuously variable automatic transmission (CVT) and have standard all-wheel drive.
It’s priced below other AWD competitors in the small crossover segment, such as the 2025 Jeep Compass at $27,495, and the $31,590 2025 Ford Bronco Sport.
Other standard equipment includes a suite of driver-assist features dubbed EyeSight that includes automatic emergency braking with pedestrian detection, active lane control, and adaptive cruise control. Blind-spot monitors are available on all but the base trim.
The 2025 Subaru Crosstrek starts at $27,115, including a $1,420 delivery fee. It rolls on 17-inch alloy wheels and has twin 7.0-inch touchscreens with the top one controlling multimedia such as Apple CarPlay and Android Auto connectivity while the lower screen controls vehicle and climate settings.
The revamped Premium grade costs $28,365, which is $975 more than last year. In addition to the larger engine and a more robust all-wheel-drive system with hill descent control and low-speed torque fill, an 11.6-inch touchscreen replaces the twin-screen setup and it comes with front and rear USB-A and USB-C charging ports, LED fog lights, roof rails, and keyless access and start. The recommended $2,245 all-weather package adds a power driver seat, heated front seats and windshield, a sunroof, and blind-spot monitors.
The $30,915 Crosstrek Sport costs $625 more than last year. Based on the Premium, it adds cosmetic flourishes such as yellow accnts, 18-inch gray alloy wheels, contrast stitching on the interior, and gold trim elements. It comes with the all-weather package, so it’s only about $1,300 more than the Premium with that package, and it has a wireless phone charger and a leather steering wheel. It’s the most bang for the buck in the lineup, but blind-spot monitors, the power driver’s seat, and the sunroof still cost extra.
The $32,815 Limited includes blind-spot monitors, a power driver seat, perforated leather upholstery, chrome trim, and body-color mirrors. It has two options packages with a Harmon Kardon audio upgrade, among other things.
The Crosstrek Wilderness tops the lineup at $33,915. The most off-roadable Crosstrek has different front and rear bumpers for better approach and departure angles, longer coil springs and more shock travel, and the ground clearance rises from 8.7 inches on the standard Crosstrek to 9.3 inches on the Wilderness. The 17-inch wheels are wrapped in Geolandar all-terrain tires. There’s more body cladding on the exterior, and water-resistant upholstery inside.
A Crosstrek hybrid is expected to follow a Subaru Forester hybrid due next year.
Sport, Limited, and Wilderness models are produced in Lafayette, Indiana, while base and Premium models are imported from Gunma, Japan. The 2025 Crosstrek goes on sale soon.
