The carryover Crosstrek is priced at $27,115, maintaining a cost advantage over competing AWD models. The Premium variant now features a 182-hp 2.5-liter flat-4 engine for the first time. While there is no plug-in hybrid available, a hybrid model is on the way.
The 2025 Subaru Crosstrek small crossover primarily carries over from last year’s redesign, with an $825 price increase from the 2024 model, as announced by Subaru on Thursday.
The most noteworthy update is for the Premium model, positioned one tier above the base Crosstrek, which now comes equipped with the more powerful 2.5-liter flat-4 engine producing 182 hp and 178 lb-ft of torque. The base model, however, continues with the 2.0-liter flat-4 engine that generates 152 hp and 145 lb-ft. All Crosstreks are fitted with a continuously variable automatic transmission (CVT) and come standard with all-wheel drive.
The starting price is below that of other AWD competitors in the small crossover market, including the 2025 Jeep Compass at $27,495 and the 2025 Ford Bronco Sport at $31,590.
Standard features comprise a range of driver-assist technologies known as EyeSight, which includes automatic emergency braking with pedestrian detection, active lane-keeping, and adaptive cruise control. Blind-spot monitoring is available for all trims except the base model.
The 2025 Subaru Crosstrek’s base price is set at $27,115, which includes a $1,420 delivery charge. It rolls on 17-inch alloy wheels and is equipped with dual 7.0-inch touchscreens, with the top screen designed for multimedia control including Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, while the lower screen manages vehicle and climate controls.
The refreshed Premium trim is priced at $28,365, reflecting a $975 increase from the previous year. Alongside the upgraded engine and enhanced all-wheel-drive system featuring hill descent control and low-speed torque fill, it boasts an 11.6-inch touchscreen that replaces the dual-screen layout, along with front and rear USB-A and USB-C ports, LED fog lights, roof rails, and keyless entry and start. An optional $2,245 all-weather package adds a power driver seat, heated front seats and windshield, a sunroof, and blind-spot monitoring.
The Crosstrek Sport, costing $30,915, is $625 higher than last year’s model. Based on the Premium trim, it introduces aesthetic enhancements like yellow accents, 18-inch gray alloy wheels, contrasting stitching on the interior, and gold trim elements. This trim includes the all-weather package, making it roughly $1,300 more than the Premium with that option, while also featuring a wireless phone charger and a leather steering wheel, representing the best value in the lineup. However, the blind-spot monitors, power driver’s seat, and sunroof are still available at an additional cost.
The Limited version, priced at $32,815, incorporates blind-spot monitors, a power driver seat, perforated leather upholstery, chrome accents, and body-colored mirrors. This trim offers two optional packages, including a Harmon Kardon audio upgrade, among other features.
At the top of the range, the Crosstrek Wilderness is priced at $33,915. This model is designed for off-road capability, featuring modified front and rear bumpers for improved approach and departure angles, longer coil springs, additional shock travel, and an increase in ground clearance from 8.7 inches to 9.3 inches. It rides on 17-inch wheels fitted with Geolandar all-terrain tires, boasts more exterior body cladding, and comes with water-resistant upholstery inside.
A Crosstrek hybrid is anticipated to follow the forthcoming Subaru Forester hybrid next year.
Production of the Sport, Limited, and Wilderness models occurs in Lafayette, Indiana, while the base and Premium models are imported from Gunma, Japan. The 2025 Crosstrek is set to go on sale shortly.
