How much does the 2021 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 1,664 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 7.83/10 expert rating. The standout strength is Cost effectiveness at 9/10.

Owners consistently praise its value, safety features, fuel economy, handling, and comfortable driving experience. The Crosstrek’s practical, car-based layout also fits shoppers who want SUV-like usefulness without moving away from a hatchback foundation.

The trade-offs are clear: it is described as sluggish, with not much cargo space and outdated technology. That means it makes more sense if you care more about everyday usability, safety, and efficiency than quick acceleration or a roomier cabin.

Good and great deals account for 33.4% of listings, so there is still a meaningful share of market-priced inventory to choose from.

Is the 2021 Subaru Crosstrek reliable?

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

Owners also describe it as dependable, with praise centered on value, safety features, fuel economy, and a comfortable driving experience. The expert evaluation reinforces that impression by noting Subaru’s fairly good reputation for reliability and suggesting the Crosstrek is likely to make a good long-term investment.

The cost-effectiveness review also points to a fairly good value proposition, with a well-equipped package and a strong AWD system. For used buyers, the main long-term ownership risk is that a well-liked model can still be let down by higher-mileage wear, so condition and maintenance history matter more than the badge alone.

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

Accident-free inventory is solid at 76.9% — always verify the vehicle history report.

You should still check the history report carefully, because accident-free status does not replace a full inspection. Focus on the condition of the drivetrain, tires, brakes, and interior wear, and make sure the vehicle’s equipment matches the trim you think you are buying. If you are comparing listings, prioritize examples with clean records and the features you actually want rather than paying extra for cosmetic upgrades alone.

Key things to evaluate:

• Trim level: The base model is the simplest version, while Premium adds more convenience equipment and the Sport trim brings a more distinctive look with water-repellant StarTex upholstery. The Limited trim sits above those with a more upscale feature set, so base-trim shoppers should pay close attention to feature gaps before assuming every Crosstrek is similarly equipped.
• Powertrain: The standard 2.0-liter boxer-four makes 152 hp and 145 lb-ft of torque, while the available 2.5-liter boxer-four makes 182 horsepower and 176 pound-feet of torque. The base and Premium trims use the smaller engine, and the Sport and Limited use the larger one.
• Safety package: EyeSight is the 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 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 add a Multimedia Plus setup with WiFi and SiriusXM, while the Limited gets an 8-inch touchscreen with navigation.
• Fuel efficiency: The 2.5-liter engine is rated at 29 mpg combined, 27 mpg city, and 34 mpg highway. The 2.0-liter engine is rated at 30 mpg combined, 28 mpg city, and 33 mpg highway with the CVT, or 25 mpg combined, 22 mpg city, and 29 mpg highway with the manual transmission.

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 least expensive way into the Crosstrek, and it gives you the core formula of standard AWD and the simpler 2.0-liter engine. It makes sense if you want the lowest entry price and are comfortable with the most basic equipment.
• Premium: This is the best-value trim for many shoppers because it adds more convenience and tech without jumping all the way to the top of the range. It is a smart middle ground if you want a more complete daily driver.
• Sport: This trim adds the stronger 2.5-liter engine and a more distinctive cabin treatment, so it is the one to consider if you want more power and a little more personality. It is also the trim where the larger engine becomes available.
• Limited: This is the most feature-rich version, with the 8-inch touchscreen and navigation standard, plus the most complete safety package. Choose it if you want the most equipment and are willing to pay for it.

Safety-package note: automatic high beams, reverse automatic braking, lane-change assist, blind-spot monitoring, and rear cross-traffic alert are standard on the Limited and optional on the Premium and Sport.

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

This is a moderate market for selective buyers, with enough inventory to shop carefully and enough price softness to create opportunities.

• Deal availability: 33.4% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• Inventory: There are 1,664 listings available.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 6.11% compared with last year.
• Clean inventory: 76.9% of listings are accident-free.

If you find a listing below $20,494, 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 $20,890 sits slightly below last year's $22,249.

That price movement suggests the Crosstrek has already absorbed some depreciation, which can help future sellers if they buy at the right price. A softer market today can also make it easier to find a clean example without overpaying, which matters when you eventually go to resell.

Because the model has broad appeal around safety, efficiency, and standard AWD, demand should remain reasonably steady if you keep the vehicle in good condition. Well-kept examples with desirable equipment are likely to hold buyer interest better than neglected ones.

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 received a five-star overall safety 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 driver-assistance suite, and 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 IIHS has not tested the 2021 model directly, and the closely related 2020 version earned a Top Safety Pick only with certain optional EyeSight features and optional Steering Responsive Headlights. EyeSight’s camera-based system can also be limited by windshield wipers and direct sunlight.

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:

• 33.4% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• Accident-free inventory is solid at 76.9% — always verify the vehicle history report.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 6.11% compared with last year.
• Owners rate it 4.5/5 — a strong satisfaction signal.
• The 2021 model adds a new Sport trim, a 2.5-liter engine option, and an upgraded EyeSight system.

The bottom line: The 2021 Crosstrek is the right pick if you want the updated trim mix, the available stronger engine, and a safety-focused small crossover with broad owner approval. If you are especially price-sensitive, a nearby year may still make sense, but the 2021 gives you a good balance of features, market pricing, and buyer confidence.
