Older model years carry meaningfully higher accident rates, so always verify the vehicle history report on pre-2021 models.

Key things to evaluate:

• 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: the entry point with 17-inch alloy wheels, 8.7 inches of ground clearance, and the model’s core all-weather character.
• Premium: adds standard roof rails and the larger 2.0-liter engine option, making it a strong value for shoppers who want more everyday versatility.
• Sport: brings the 2.5-liter engine, paddle shifters, standard roof rails, and the 11.6-inch touchscreen with wireless smartphone integration.
• Limited: adds the 2.5-liter engine, paddle shifters, standard roof rails, and the 11.6-inch touchscreen with wireless smartphone integration.
• Wilderness: the most capable choice, with 9.3 inches of ground clearance, a ladder-style roof rack, StarTex synthetic leather, all-weather floormats, unique exterior design elements, and stronger off-road hardware.

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 newer features, broader availability, and a wider spread of prices and trims. That gives you more chances to find the right combination of equipment, condition, and value.

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 prices that have eased from a year ago. The declines are fairly consistent across the lineup, with only small differences in magnitude from one year to the next. That pattern suggests you can find better value now than you could a year ago on many model years.

The 2014, 2015, and 2018 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 −4.95% versus a year ago, and the 2024 model is at −5.31%.
• Deal availability: The 2025 model has 35.6% good and great deals, and the 2024 model has 36.1%.
• Sweet-spot year: The 2025 model has the most listings at a current average price of $28,740. The Subaru Crosstrek offers a practical, easy-to-live-with character that makes it a strong fit for daily driving and all-weather use.

Consider waiting if:

• Powertrain/efficiency: The 2.5-liter flat four-cylinder engine delivers 182 horsepower and 178 pound-feet of torque, while the 2.0-liter engine makes 152 horsepower and 145 pound-feet of torque.
• Tech: The big infotainment system 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.
