How much does the 2016 Subaru Crosstrek cost?

Prices have softened 6.11% compared to this time last year, making it a favorable time to shop this model year.

There are 1,240 listings available, which gives you a solid amount of inventory to compare.

Is the 2016 Subaru Crosstrek a good car?

Yes — the 2016 Subaru Crosstrek earns a 5/5 user rating and a 6.5/10 expert rating. The standout strength is Safety at 8/10.

Owners consistently praise the safety features, reliability, all-wheel-drive system, versatility, and easy handling. That lines up well with the Crosstrek’s compact-crossover use case: you get a practical daily driver with added safety tech and the kind of easygoing character that works well for commuting, errands, and rough-weather driving.

With 33.0% of listings marked as good or great deals, you have some room to shop selectively.

Is the 2016 Subaru Crosstrek reliable?

Owners rate it 5/5, a strong signal of long-term satisfaction.

The owner feedback also points to a reliable, dependable, and trouble-free ownership experience, with praise for the car’s ability to be counted on day to day. The expert evaluation adds that the Crosstrek’s practical character is a strength, even though the powertrain is the main drawback.

The cost-effectiveness assessment notes that reliability reports place it average at best, so used buyers should pay close attention to maintenance history and overall condition before committing.

What should I look for when buying a used 2016 Subaru Crosstrek?

At 58.5% accident-free, a meaningful share of listings has prior incidents — history verification is especially important.

You should start with a vehicle-history report and then prioritize a thorough pre-purchase inspection, especially if the listing price looks unusually attractive. Focus on body condition, signs of prior repair, and whether the safety and driver-assistance equipment works as expected.

Key things to evaluate:

• Trim level: The base 2.0i comes with 17-inch alloys, a tilt-and-telescoping steering wheel, a rear-view camera, fog lights, a 6.2-inch touchscreen with smartphone integration, and a USB port/Aux input. The 2.0i Premium adds heated, body-color mirrors, heated front seats, an upgraded stereo, contrast stitching, a leather-wrapped steering wheel and shift knob, an adjustable center armrest, and a cargo cover and tray. The 2.0i Limited adds upgraded gauges and infotainment with a 7-inch touchscreen and satellite radio, auto climate control, auto headlights, leather, and an acoustic windshield.
• Powertrain: The 2.0-liter boxer engine makes 148 hp and 145 lb-ft of torque. A 5-speed manual is standard on the 2.0i and 2.0i Premium, while the CVT is optional on the Premium and standard on the Limited. The CVT improves efficiency but can feel noisy and strained at highway speeds.
• Safety package: The Eyesight safety system adds rear cross-traffic alert, blind-spot monitoring, and lane-departure warning. It is available on higher trims, so base-trim shoppers should confirm which safety features are included on the specific vehicle they’re considering.
• Infotainment: The base trim uses a 6.2-inch touchscreen, while the upgraded system brings a 7-inch touchscreen and satellite radio. Starlink adds automatic collision notification with SOS, stolen-vehicle recovery, and a monitoring app.
• Fuel efficiency: The manual transmission is rated at 23 mpg city/31 highway, and the CVT adds 3 mpg on either end of the spectrum.

Which 2016 Subaru Crosstrek trim should I buy?

The 2016 Subaru Crosstrek is offered in 3 trim levels: 2.0i, 2.0i Premium, 2.0i Limited.

Here's the short version:

• 2.0i: This is the value play if you want the lowest entry price and still want a well-equipped crossover with a rear-view camera, smartphone integration, fog lights, and Subaru’s practical all-weather character.
• 2.0i Premium: This is the best-value trim for most shoppers because it adds heated front seats, heated mirrors, a better stereo, and useful interior upgrades without jumping too far in price.
• 2.0i Limited: Choose this one if you want the most comfort and tech, including the 7-inch touchscreen, satellite radio, auto climate control, auto headlights, leather, and the acoustic windshield.

The safety package is strongest on higher trims, so make sure the specific vehicle you’re shopping has the driver-assistance equipment you want.

Is now a good time to buy a used 2016 Subaru Crosstrek?

This looks like a moderate, selective buyer’s market, so you can shop carefully and still find worthwhile options.

• Deal availability: 33.0% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• Inventory: There are 1,240 listings available.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 6.11% compared with last year.
• Clean inventory: 58.5% of listings are accident-free.

If you find a listing below $12,496, that's toward the low end of the year-round range and worth acting on quickly.

What is the 2016 Subaru Crosstrek's resale value?

The current average of $12,588 sits slightly below last year's $13,406.

That softer pricing suggests the market has already adjusted downward, which can help future sellers if they buy at the right price today. If you pay close to the current average, your resale upside may be more limited than it would be for a model with a stronger upward trend.

Even so, the Crosstrek’s practical appeal and owner satisfaction can help support demand when it’s time to sell. Vehicles with strong owner satisfaction ratings, like this model year's 5/5, tend to retain buyer demand, which supports resale value over time.

Is the 2016 Subaru Crosstrek safe?

The 2016 Subaru Crosstrek earns top marks from both IIHS and NHTSA, with only the NHTSA’s total frontal impact test receiving a four-star rating.

It earns an 8/10 safety score from our experts.

The Crosstrek comes with a full suite of airbags, 4-wheel antilock brakes, traction and stability control, a rear-view camera, and active front head restraints. The Eyesight system adds rear cross-traffic alert, blind-spot monitoring, and lane-departure warning, though it is not standard on every trim.

One caveat is that the Eyesight system can be disabled when visibility is blocked by sun, fog, mist, dirt, snow, or mud, so you should not assume every safety aid will be active in every condition.

Should I buy a 2016 Subaru Crosstrek or consider a different year?

If you're weighing the 2016 against nearby model years, here's how to think about it:

Choose the 2016 if:

• 33.0% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• At 58.5% accident-free, a meaningful share of listings has prior incidents — history verification is especially important.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 6.11% compared with last year.
• Owners rate it 5/5 — a strong satisfaction signal.
• The 2016 model adds Starlink and safety features such as blind-spot monitoring, rear cross-traffic alert, and lane-departure alert.

The bottom line: If you want the Crosstrek with the newer safety and tech updates, the 2016 is the right target. If you’re mainly shopping on price, a nearby year may still make sense, but you should compare equipment carefully because the 2016’s added safety tech is a meaningful upgrade.

How does the 2016 Subaru Crosstrek compare to the 2016 Honda HR-V?

Our experts score the 2016 Subaru Crosstrek 6.5/10 and the 2016 Honda HR-V 7.5/10. The Crosstrek gives you stronger all-wheel-drive character, more ground clearance, and a better safety score, while the HR-V brings better fuel economy and a lower starting price. The Crosstrek also has a larger used-market supply, which can make it easier for you to shop around.
