How much does the 2021 Subaru Crosstrek cost?

Prices have softened 4.73% compared to this time last year, making it a favorable time to shop this model year.

There are 1,691 listings available, which suggests solid inventory for used-car shoppers.

Is the 2021 Subaru Crosstrek a good car?

Yes — the 2021 Subaru Crosstrek earns a 4.5/5 user rating and a 7.8/10 expert rating. The standout strength is Cost effectiveness at 9/10.

Owners consistently praise its value, safety features, and fuel economy, and they also like the comfortable driving experience and handling. The main trade-offs are its sluggish acceleration and limited cargo space, and the technology is described as outdated. For you, that means the Crosstrek makes the most sense if you want a practical small crossover with standard all-wheel drive and a safety-first personality rather than quick performance or a roomy cabin.

There are 34.9% good or great deals in the market, which gives you some room to shop selectively.

Is the 2021 Subaru Crosstrek reliable?

Owners rate it 4.5/5, a strong signal of long-term satisfaction.

Owner feedback points to a vehicle that feels dependable, with praise for value, safety, and fuel economy, and it’s the kind of model many shoppers feel comfortable keeping for the long haul. The expert review also notes Subaru’s fairly good reputation for reliability and suggests the Crosstrek should make a good long-term investment. If you’re buying used, the main ownership risk is less about durability and more about choosing a well-kept example with the right maintenance history.

What should I look for when buying a used 2021 Subaru Crosstrek?

At 73.8% 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 pre-purchase inspection, especially if you’re considering a higher-mileage or lower-priced example. Focus on overall condition, signs of prior bodywork, and whether the equipment level matches what you expect from the trim. Because this model is often bought for safety and all-weather use, it’s worth making sure the drivetrain, tires, and driver-assistance features are all functioning properly.

Key things to evaluate:

• Trim level: The base and Premium trims keep the simpler setup, while the Sport and Limited trims add more equipment and a more upscale feel. The base trim is the one most likely to leave you wanting more convenience and tech.
• Powertrain: The 2.0-liter engine continues on the base and Premium trims, while the 2.5-liter engine is available on the Sport and Limited trims. The bigger engine brings more power, while the smaller one is the efficiency-focused choice.
• Safety package: EyeSight is the core driver-assistance suite, and CVT-equipped models get adaptive cruise control with lane centering, automatic emergency braking, and lane-departure warning. Automatic high beams, reverse automatic braking, lane-change assist, blind-spot monitoring, and rear cross-traffic alert are standard on the Limited trim and optional on the Premium and Sport.
• Infotainment: The standard setup uses a 6.5-inch touchscreen with Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, and Bluetooth. Premium and Sport trims add WiFi and SiriusXM, while the Limited gets an 8-inch touchscreen with navigation.
• Fuel efficiency: The 2.0-liter engine is rated at 30 mpg combined with the CVT, or 25 mpg combined with the manual transmission. The 2.5-liter engine is rated at 29 mpg combined.

Which 2021 Subaru Crosstrek trim should I buy?

The 2021 Subaru Crosstrek is offered in 4 trim levels: Base, Premium, Sport, Limited.

Here's the short version:

• Base: This is the simplest way into the Crosstrek, and it makes sense if you mainly want standard all-wheel drive and the model’s core practicality at the lowest entry point.
• Premium: This is the best-value trim for many shoppers because it adds useful equipment without pushing you all the way to the pricier upper trims.
• Sport: This trim is the one to choose if you want the available 2.5-liter engine and a more distinctive look and feel.
• Limited: This is the most fully equipped version, and it’s the right pick if you want the most safety and convenience content, including the most complete driver-assistance setup.

The safety package is strongest on the Limited trim, while Premium and Sport can be optioned up with some of the same features.

Is now a good time to buy a used 2021 Subaru Crosstrek?

This is a moderate, selective buyer’s market, so you can shop carefully without feeling rushed.

• Deal availability: 34.9% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• Inventory: There are 1,691 listings available.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 4.73% compared with last year.
• Clean inventory: 73.8% of listings are accident-free.

If you find a listing below $20,386, that's toward the low end of the year-round range and worth acting on quickly.

What is the 2021 Subaru Crosstrek's resale value?

The current average of $20,386 sits slightly below last year's $21,399.

That price movement suggests the Crosstrek has softened a bit, which can help you as a buyer today but may limit upside if you’re thinking about future resale. Even so, the model’s strong owner satisfaction and practical reputation should help it stay appealing to used-car shoppers. If you keep the vehicle in good condition and maintain it well, it should remain competitive in the market.

Vehicles with strong owner satisfaction ratings, like this model year's 4.5/5, tend to retain buyer demand, which supports resale value over time.

Is the 2021 Subaru Crosstrek safe?

The 2021 Subaru Crosstrek earns a five-star overall rating from NHTSA, with five-star ratings in side crash tests and four-star ratings in frontal and rollover crash tests.

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

EyeSight is the named driver-assistance suite, and it uses stereo cameras mounted behind the windshield. For 2021, CVT-equipped models get standard adaptive cruise control with lane centering, automatic emergency braking, and lane-departure warning. Automatic high beams, reverse automatic braking, lane-change assist, blind-spot monitoring, and rear cross-traffic alert are standard on the Limited trim and optional on the Premium and Sport. The main caveat is that the camera-based system can be blocked by wipers or washed out in direct sunlight, which can temporarily disable driver aids.

Should I buy a 2021 Subaru Crosstrek or consider a different year?

If you're weighing the 2021 against nearby model years, here's how to think about it:

Choose the 2021 if:

• 34.9% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• At 73.8% accident-free, a meaningful share of listings has prior incidents — history verification is especially important.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 4.73% compared with last year.
• Owners rate it 4.5/5 — a strong satisfaction signal.
• The 2021 model adds a new Sport trim, an available 2.5-liter engine, and an upgraded EyeSight system.

The bottom line: The 2021 Crosstrek is a smart choice if you want the updated trim mix and safety tech while shopping in a market that has softened a bit. If you’re especially price-sensitive, a nearby year may still be worth comparing, but the 2021 gives you a strong balance of value, safety, and standard all-wheel drive.

2021 Subaru Crosstrek:

• Pros: Great ride quality, Standard advanced safety features, Standard all-wheel drive.
• Cons: Sluggish performance, Not much cargo space, Outdated technology.

Our experts score the 2021 Subaru Crosstrek 7.8/10 and the 2021 Honda HR-V 6.8/10. The Crosstrek has the edge if you want standard all-wheel drive and a more rugged, safety-focused setup.
