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

Key things to evaluate:

• 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 the 11.6-inch touchscreen on upper trims, 17-inch alloy wheels, 8.7 inches of ground clearance, and the Crosstrek’s standard all-wheel-drive character; it suits shoppers who want the most affordable way into the model.
• Premium: This trim adds the larger 2.5-liter engine, standard roof rails, and a more complete equipment mix, making it the best-value trim for many buyers.
• Sport: This trim adds the 2.5-liter engine, paddle shifters, standard wireless charging, and X-Mode with mud and deep snow settings.
• Limited: This trim adds the 2.5-liter engine, paddle shifters, standard wireless charging, and X-Mode with mud and deep snow settings, along with a more upscale equipment set.

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 draw the most attention because they combine newer features, broad availability, and strong deal percentages. That gives you more choices at the same time the market is actively shopping them.

What is the Subaru Crosstrek's resale value?

Most Crosstrek model years are moving lower year over year, which is good news if you’re shopping used and want prices to be more approachable. The biggest drops are concentrated in the older and mid-cycle years, while the smallest changes appear in the earliest model years listed. Overall, the pattern points to steady softening rather than sharp swings.

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

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 −4.65% versus a year ago, and the 2024 model is at −6.01%.
• Deal availability: The 2025 model has 33.4% good and great deals, and the 2024 model has 33.9%.
• Sweet-spot year: The 2025 model has the most listings at a current average price of $29,014. The Subaru Crosstrek offers a practical, easy-to-live-with character that makes it a strong everyday choice.

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: Included as standard equipment, EyeSight is a camera-based advanced driver assistance system (ADAS) that boasts automatic emergency braking, lane-keeping assist, and adaptive cruise control. 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.
