How much does the 2024 Subaru Crosstrek cost?

Prices have softened 6.01% compared to this time last year, making it a favorable time to shop this model year.

There are 5,984 listings available, which suggests solid inventory for comparison shopping.

Is the 2024 Subaru Crosstrek a good car?

Yes — 4.83/5 is a strong user rating for the 2024 Subaru Crosstrek, and the expert rating is 8/10. The model scores 9/10 across Technology and Safety.

Drivers consistently praise its build quality, comfort, handling, fuel efficiency, safety features, and value for money. In practical terms, that lines up well with the Crosstrek’s role as a small crossover for everyday commuting, bad-weather driving, and active lifestyles.

The main trade-offs are the underpowered base engine and the cheap-feeling interior materials. Even so, the Crosstrek’s standard AWD and added Wilderness capability give it a broader use case than many small crossovers, and 33.9% of listings are priced as good or great deals.

Is the 2024 Subaru Crosstrek reliable?

Owners rate it 4.83/5, a strong signal of long-term satisfaction.

The user review summary points to a vehicle that feels well built, dependable, and easy to live with over time. It also highlights comfort and value, which usually matter a lot when you’re trying to judge whether a used vehicle will stay satisfying after the novelty wears off.

The expert test drive data reinforces that impression by describing the Crosstrek as a practical, easygoing crossover with improved engine refinement and a CVT that is more pleasant than many rivals. Subaru also includes the first scheduled maintenance visit at no extra charge, which helps reduce early ownership friction.

For used buyers, the main long-term risk is not catastrophic reliability so much as whether you’ll be satisfied with the base engine’s performance and the cabin’s lower-rent materials.

What should I look for when buying a used 2024 Subaru Crosstrek?

Accident-free inventory is excellent at 91% — clean inventory, standard diligence applies.

You should still run a vehicle history report and prioritize a pre-purchase inspection, especially if you’re considering a higher-mileage example or one that has seen winter use, gravel roads, or light off-road duty. Focus on tire wear, suspension condition, and signs of hard use, since the Crosstrek’s appeal often comes from the kind of driving that can leave a mark over time.

Key things to evaluate:

• Trim level: The Base trim gets 17-inch alloy wheels and all-season tires, while Premium, Sport, and Limited add standard roof rails. The Wilderness trim stands apart with unique exterior and interior details, including a different grille, larger cladding, new bumpers, StarTex upholstery, all-weather floormats, and an interior cargo-area light.
• Powertrain: The 2.0-liter engine makes 152 horsepower and 145 pound-feet of torque, while the 2.5-liter engine makes 182 horsepower and 178 pound-feet of torque. Both use a CVT, and the Wilderness trim gets a shorter final-drive ratio for better low-speed and uphill capability.
• Safety package: Subaru’s EyeSight system is standard and includes automatic emergency braking, lane-keeping assist, and adaptive cruise control. New for 2024, it uses a wider-angle lens, and automatic emergency steering is included on cars equipped with blind-spot monitoring.
• Infotainment: The 11.6-inch touchscreen is standard on all but the Base trim. It includes wireless Apple CarPlay and wireless Android Auto, and a wireless charging pad is available across the lineup and standard on Sport and Limited trims.
• Fuel efficiency: The EPA estimates 27 mpg city, 34 highway, and 29 combined for the 2.0-liter engine, 26 city, 33 highway, and 29 combined for the 2.5-liter engine, and 25 city, 29 highway, and 27 combined for the Wilderness.

Which 2024 Subaru Crosstrek trim should I buy?

The 2024 Subaru Crosstrek is offered in 5 trim levels: Base, Premium, Sport, Limited, Wilderness.

Here's the short version:

• Base: This is the entry point, but it still gives you the Crosstrek’s core appeal: standard AWD, 8.7 inches of ground clearance, and the rugged utility that makes the model attractive in the first place. It makes sense if you want the lowest price and can live without the larger touchscreen and some of the nicer convenience features.
• Premium: This is the best-value trim for many shoppers because it adds more everyday usability without jumping too far up the price ladder. You get the more appealing feature mix of the higher trims while staying closer to the model’s accessible side.
• Sport: This is the right pick if you want the stronger 2.5-liter engine and a more complete equipment set. It also gets paddle shifters and the more capable version of X-Mode, so it suits you if you want a better-rounded daily driver with extra punch.
• Limited: This is the trim to choose if you want the most polished mainstream Crosstrek experience short of Wilderness. It pairs the stronger engine with a richer feature set, including the standard wireless charging pad, and it should appeal if comfort and convenience matter more than off-road focus.
• Wilderness: This is the one to buy if you want the Crosstrek’s most distinctive character. It raises ground clearance to 9.3 inches, adds off-road-oriented hardware and styling, and brings the most capability for rough roads, snow, and light trail use.

EyeSight is standard, and automatic emergency steering is included on cars equipped with blind-spot monitoring.

Is now a good time to buy a used 2024 Subaru Crosstrek?

This is a moderate, selective-buyer market, so you have room to shop carefully without waiting for a dramatic bargain.

• Deal availability: 33.9% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• Inventory: There are 5,984 listings available.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 6.01% compared with last year.
• Clean inventory: 91.0% of listings are accident-free.

If you find a listing below $25,959, that's toward the low end of the year-round range and worth acting on quickly.

What is the 2024 Subaru Crosstrek's resale value?

The current average of $26,449 sits slightly below last year's $28,139.

That price movement suggests the market has cooled a bit, which can help you as a buyer today but may also mean a future seller has less room to recover what they paid if they buy at the wrong time. The good news is that the Crosstrek still has broad appeal because it combines standard AWD, practical packaging, and strong everyday usefulness.

If you keep the vehicle in clean condition and avoid overpaying up front, you should be in a better position when it’s time to sell. Models with broad shopper appeal tend to move more easily on the used market, especially when they have a reputation for value and versatility.

Vehicles with strong owner satisfaction ratings, like this model year's 4.83/5, tend to retain buyer demand, which supports resale value over time.

Is the 2024 Subaru Crosstrek safe?

The Subaru Crosstrek has been awarded a Top Safety Pick designation by the IIHS since 2013.

It earns a 9/10 safety score from our experts.

Subaru’s EyeSight safety system is standard, and it includes automatic emergency braking, lane-keeping assist, and adaptive cruise control. For 2024, it also uses a wider-angle lens, and automatic emergency steering is included on cars equipped with blind-spot monitoring.

The main caveat is that the IIHS has not yet reviewed the 2024 model, so the latest crash-test results are not yet in hand.

Should I buy a 2024 Subaru Crosstrek or consider a different year?

If you're weighing the 2024 against nearby model years, here's how to think about it:

Choose the 2024 if:

• 33.9% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• Accident-free inventory is excellent at 91% — clean inventory, standard diligence applies.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 6.01% compared with last year.
• Owners rate it 4.83/5 — a strong satisfaction signal.
• It adds multiple engine options, a dazzling touchscreen, upgraded safety features, and a new Wilderness trim level that increases off-road capability.

The bottom line: The 2024 Crosstrek is the better path if you want the updated third-generation package with standard AWD, stronger tech, and a broader trim range. If your priority is simply finding the lowest entry price, a nearby year may be worth comparing, but the 2024 gives you the most complete version of the Crosstrek formula.
