• Infotainment: the 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: This is the entry point, with 17-inch alloy wheels, 8.7 inches of ground clearance, and the dual seven-inch display setup with wired smartphone integration.

• Sport: This trim adds the 2.5-liter engine, paddle shifters, the 11.6-inch touchscreen, and standard wireless charging.
• Limited: This trim adds the 2.5-liter engine, paddle shifters, the 11.6-inch touchscreen, and standard wireless charging.

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 be the most popular because they combine newer features, broad availability, and strong everyday usefulness. They also give you more choices across trims and price points, which makes it easier to find the right fit.

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 benefit from softer pricing. The declines are fairly consistent across the lineup, with only modest variation from one year to the next. That pattern suggests you can often find better value by comparing several recent model years instead of focusing on just one.

The 2014, 2017, and 2015 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 −4.85% versus a year ago, and the 2024 model is at −5.65%.
• Deal availability: The 2025 model has 35.1% good and great deals, and the 2024 model has 35.2%.
• Sweet-spot year: The 2025 model has the most listings at a current average price of $28,837. The Subaru Crosstrek offers standard all-wheel drive, generous ground clearance, and a practical, easy-to-live-with character.

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: 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.
