How much does the 2024 Subaru Crosstrek cost?

Prices have softened 5.90% compared to this time last year, making it a favorable time to shop this model year.

There are 5,932 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. The Crosstrek’s standard all-wheel drive and rugged personality also fit shoppers who want a small crossover with more versatility than its size suggests.

The trade-offs are clear: the base engine can feel underpowered, and the interior materials are described as cheap. Even so, the Crosstrek’s mix of practicality, capability, and everyday usability makes it a strong fit if you want a compact crossover that can handle commuting, bad weather, and light adventure.

Good and great deals account for 34.8% of listings, so there is still room to find a compelling price.

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 build quality, comfort, and handling, along with fuel efficiency and safety features, which all support the case for dependable day-to-day ownership. The expert notes also emphasize Subaru’s standard all-wheel drive and a well-sorted CVT that is easier to live with than many rivals’ transmissions.

Subaru also packages the Crosstrek with a broad set of standard equipment, which can help reduce the need for immediate add-on spending after purchase. For used buyers, the main long-term ownership risk is that the base engine may feel strained if you expect brisk acceleration or frequent highway passing power.

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

Accident-free inventory is excellent at 90.6% — clean inventory, standard diligence applies.

You should still run a vehicle history report and prioritize a pre-purchase inspection, especially if you are considering a higher-mileage example or one that has seen winter use, gravel roads, or light off-pavement driving. Focus on overall condition, tire wear, interior wear, and signs that the vehicle has been used as intended rather than abused.

Key things to evaluate:

• Trim level: The Base trim gets 17-inch alloy wheels, 8.7 inches of ground clearance, and optional roof rails, while Premium, Sport, and Limited trims add standard roof rails. The Wilderness trim stands apart with unique exterior and interior details, more rugged bodywork, StarTex synthetic leather, all-weather floormats, and a cargo-area LED light.
• Powertrain: The 2.0-liter four-cylinder makes 152 horsepower and 145 pound-feet of torque, while the 2.5-liter flat four makes 182 horsepower and 178 pound-feet of torque. Both use a CVT, and the Wilderness trim gets a shorter final-drive ratio that helps with uphill terrain and stronger acceleration from a stop.
• Safety package: Subaru’s EyeSight system is standard and 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.
• 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 model, 26 city, 33 highway, and 29 combined for the 2.5-liter model, and 25 city, 29 highway, and 27 combined for Wilderness trims.

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, and it gives you the Crosstrek’s core appeal: standard all-wheel drive, 17-inch alloy wheels, and useful ground clearance. It makes sense if you want the lowest-cost way into the model, but it is also the trim most likely to leave you wanting more equipment.
• Premium: This is the best-value trim for many shoppers because it adds more everyday usability without jumping too far in price. You also get the more rudimentary X-Mode setup with dirt/snow driving features, and it is a smart pick if you want a well-rounded Crosstrek for commuting and bad weather.
• Sport: This trim is the better choice if you want the stronger 2.5-liter engine and more capability-oriented equipment. It also gets the more advanced X-Mode setup with mud and deep snow settings, plus paddle shifters.
• Limited: This is the more upscale mainstream choice, pairing the 2.5-liter engine with a richer equipment mix. It also gets the more advanced X-Mode setup and paddle shifters, so it suits you if you want a more polished Crosstrek without going all the way to Wilderness.
• Wilderness: This is the trim to choose if you care most about off-road ability and rugged hardware. It adds 9.3 inches of ground clearance, a ladder-style roof rack, StarTex upholstery, and the strongest towing rating in the lineup, making it the clear pick for adventurous buyers.

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?

The market looks moderate and selective, so you can shop with some leverage if you are patient and compare listings carefully.

• Deal availability: 34.8% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• Inventory: There are 5,932 listings available.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 5.90% compared with last year.
• Clean inventory: 90.6% of listings are accident-free.

If you find a listing below $25,958, 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 $26,433 sits slightly below last year's $28,091.

That price movement suggests the market has cooled a bit, which can help you buy at a more favorable point in the cycle. For a future seller, that also means resale expectations should be grounded in current demand rather than peak pricing from a year ago.

The good news is that the Crosstrek still has broad appeal thanks to its standard AWD, practical packaging, and strong owner satisfaction. 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 five-star ratings overall from NHTSA, based on the safety language provided for the model line.

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

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

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:

• 34.8% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• Accident-free inventory is excellent at 90.6% — clean inventory, standard diligence applies.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 5.90% compared with last year.
• Owners rate it 4.83/5 — a strong satisfaction signal.
• It adds a new Wilderness trim level, multiple engine options, a larger touchscreen, and upgraded safety features.

The bottom line: If you want the most current version of the Crosstrek’s formula, the 2024 is the better choice because it brings meaningful updates while keeping the model’s core strengths intact. If your priority is simply finding the lowest price, a nearby year may be worth considering, but the 2024’s updated equipment and strong market availability make it the more compelling all-around pick.
