New Subaru Crosstrek for Sale nearColumbia, SC

How much does the Subaru Crosstrek cost in today's market?

Used Subaru Crosstrek prices span a wide range depending on model year. Here's what the market looks like right now:

The Subaru Crosstrek's current nationwide average price is $22,391, and its year-round low is $22,034.04. That puts the model in a fairly broad price band across generations, with newer versions commanding the highest averages and older ones opening up more budget-friendly entry points.

Recently, prices have come down for the 2023, 2024, and 2025 models, making now a good time to shop recent model years.

Is the Subaru Crosstrek a good car?

Yes — the Subaru Crosstrek earns strong marks from owners across the lineup, and its all-generations owner rating is 4.64/5 across every model year in the data.

Owners repeatedly praise its all-wheel-drive confidence, fuel efficiency, and safety-focused character. They also tend to highlight its comfortable driving feel and practical everyday usability, which show up again and again across model years.

Expert reviews rate the 2024 and 2021 models among the highest across all years.

The main trade-offs that come up in expert reviews are modest acceleration, CVT noise in some versions, and technology that can feel less polished on earlier models.

31.6% of listings are priced as good or great deals.

Are Subaru Crosstrek models reliable?

Owners consistently describe the Crosstrek as a dependable, easy-to-live-with small crossover with strong safety and all-weather confidence. Expert commentary also reinforces its durable, practical character and its long-running reputation for usefulness.

• Owners rate the Subaru Crosstrek between 4.0 and 5.0 out of 5 stars across all model years in the data.

For used buyers, long-term ownership risk is generally tied more to condition, mileage, and maintenance history than to the model’s core formula.

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

Across all model years, accident-free inventory is solid at 81.7% — always verify the vehicle history report.

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

Key things to evaluate:

• Safety package: EyeSight safety system
• Infotainment: 11.6-inch touchscreen with wireless Apple CarPlay and wireless Android Auto
• Fuel efficiency: 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 rugged, outdoorsy look.
• Premium: This trim adds standard roof rails and the 11.6-inch infotainment system with wireless Apple CarPlay and wireless Android Auto, making it the best-value choice for many shoppers.
• Sport: This trim adds the 2.5-liter engine, paddle shifters, standard roof rails, and the wireless charging pad.
• Limited: This trim adds the 2.5-liter engine, paddle shifters, the wireless charging pad, and 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 a more capable traction setup for rougher terrain.

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 popular because they offer a strong mix of newer features, broad availability, and pricing that still sits below brand-new inventory. More listings also give you more room to compare trims, colors, and condition.

What is the Subaru Crosstrek's resale value?

Most Crosstrek model years are moving down in price year over year, which is good news if you’re shopping used. The declines are fairly consistent across the lineup, with newer models still carrying higher absolute prices even as they soften from a year ago. A few older years are changing more slowly, which can make them appealing if you want to stretch your budget further.

The 2015, 2017, 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

EyeSight is standard equipment on the 2024 model.

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 −4.81% versus a year ago, and the 2024 model is at −6.26%.
• Deal availability: The 2025 model has 31.8% good and great deals, and the 2024 model has 32.1%.
• Sweet-spot year: The 2025 model has the most listings at a current average price of $29,010. The Subaru Crosstrek offers standard all-wheel drive, generous ground clearance, and a practical, outdoorsy character that makes it easy to use year-round.

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 2028 inventory to mature.
