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

Across all model years, accident-free inventory is solid at 81.4% — 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: Subaru’s EyeSight safety system with automatic emergency braking, lane-keeping assist, and adaptive cruise control.
• Infotainment: the 11.6-inch Subaru Starlink 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 rugged look and everyday versatility.
• Premium: This trim adds standard roof rails and is a strong value if you want a more complete setup without moving too far up the lineup.
• Sport: This trim adds the 2.5-liter engine, paddle shifters, the wireless charging pad, and the larger infotainment system.
• Limited: This trim adds the 2.5-liter engine, paddle shifters, the wireless charging pad, and the larger infotainment system, making it a well-equipped choice for shoppers who want more comfort and convenience.
• Wilderness: This trim adds 9.3 inches of ground clearance, a ladder-style roof rack, StarTex synthetic leather, all-weather floormats, and off-road-focused bodywork and bumpers.

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 used picks because they give you more inventory to compare, more pricing competition, and a newer feature set. They also sit close enough to the current generation to capture the Crosstrek’s core strengths while still offering used-car value.

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. The declines are broad-based rather than isolated, and the newer years are still giving up value while staying in high demand. A few older years are changing more slowly, which helps explain why they remain attractive budget buys.

The 2017, 2014, 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

EyeSight is standard equipment on the 2024 model, bringing automatic emergency braking, lane-keeping assist, and adaptive cruise control.

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 −4.74% versus a year ago, and the 2024 model is at −5.87%.
• Deal availability: The 2025 model has 34% good and great deals, and the 2024 model has 34.6%.
• Sweet-spot year: The 2025 model has the most listings at a current average price of $28,899. The Subaru Crosstrek offers a practical, easy-to-live-with cabin with standard all-wheel drive and a rugged everyday 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. The EPA estimates 27 mpg in the city, 34 highway, and 29 combined for the 2.0-liter Crosstrek.
• 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.
