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

Across all model years, accident-free inventory is solid at 81.2% — always verify the vehicle history report.

• Infotainment: 11.6-inch touchscreen with wireless Apple CarPlay and wireless Android Auto
• Fuel efficiency: The EPA estimates 27 mpg in the city, 34 highway, and 29 combined for the 2.0-liter Crosstrek. Upgrade to 2.5 liters, and you can expect 26 city, 33 highway, and 29 combined. Figures fall a bit short in the Crosstrek Wilderness, but not terribly so: 25 city, 29 highway, 27 combined.

Which Subaru Crosstrek trim should I buy?

The 2024 Subaru Crosstrek offers these trims:

• Base: The entry trim brings 17-inch alloy wheels, 8.7 inches of ground clearance, and the Crosstrek’s standard all-wheel-drive character in its most affordable form.
• Premium: This trim adds standard roof rails and the larger 11.6-inch touchscreen, making it the best-value choice for shoppers who want the core Crosstrek experience with more everyday convenience.
• Sport: This trim adds the 2.5-liter engine, paddle shifters, standard wireless charging, and the larger infotainment setup.
• Limited: This trim adds the 2.5-liter engine, paddle shifters, standard wireless charging, and the larger infotainment setup, along with a more upscale equipment mix.
• Wilderness: This trim adds 9.3 inches of ground clearance, a ladder-style roof rack, StarTex synthetic leather, all-weather floormats, unique exterior design elements, and the off-road-focused hardware that gives the Crosstrek its most adventurous character.

What Subaru Crosstrek do most buyers choose?

The Subaru Crosstrek years with the most listings are 2025, 2024, and 2023.

These higher-volume years tend to attract more shoppers because they offer a strong mix of newer features, broad availability, and plenty of deal opportunities. More listings also give you more room to compare prices, trims, and condition.

What is the Subaru Crosstrek's resale value?

Most Crosstrek model years are down year over year, which is good news if you’re shopping used and want to see prices soften. The declines are fairly consistent across the lineup, with only modest variation in how much each year has moved. That pattern suggests you can still find value across a wide range of model years rather than having to wait for a single standout bargain.

The 2015, 2014, and 2017 model years have held their value best, with the smallest year-over-year price changes.

Is the Subaru Crosstrek safe?

• 2024: 9/10
• 2021: 8/10
• 2018: 9/10
• 2016: 8/10

Subaru’s EyeSight safety system is standard equipment on the 2024 Crosstrek.

For the safest used buy, the 2018 and 2024 models both post the highest confirmed score of 9/10.

Should I buy a used Subaru Crosstrek now or wait for the next model?

Buy now if:

• Price trend: The 2025 model is at −4.59% versus a year ago, and the 2024 model is at −5.9%.
• Deal availability: The 2025 model has 34.1% good and great deals, and the 2024 model has 34.8%.
• Sweet-spot year: The 2025 model has the most listings at a current average price of $29,027. The Subaru Crosstrek offers standard all-wheel drive, useful ground clearance, and a practical, easy-to-live-with layout.

Consider waiting if:

• Powertrain/efficiency: The 2.5-liter flat four-cylinder engine that's been available on the Sport and Limited trim returns, delivering 182 horsepower and 178 pound-feet of torque. That same base engine is now standard on the Wilderness trim, too.
• Tech: The big infotainment system is standard on all but the Base trim. It includes wireless Apple CarPlay and wireless Android Auto, and a wireless charging pad is available as an option across the lineup, standard on the Sport and Limited trims.
• Safety: New for 2024, EyeSight employs a wider-angle lens to give it a larger view of the road and surroundings ahead, and it also includes automatic emergency steering on cars equipped with blind-spot monitoring.
• Starting price: Pricing starts at $26,220 for the Base trim level, including a $1,225 destination fee.

If you're buying used today, the 2025 model year offers the best mix of value and availability. If you want the latest tech and features, it may be worth waiting for the next model year's inventory to build up.
