Subaru of America has announced the pricing for its highly anticipated 2025 Subaru Crosstrek, a compact SUV that blends rugged capability with refined features. Starting at $25,695 MSRP, the 2025 Crosstrek offers a range of enhancements, from increased power to advanced safety technologies and an upgraded Wilderness trim designed for off-road enthusiasts. The third-generation Crosstrek builds upon the success of its predecessor with fresh exterior and interior styling, improved handling, and expanded standard features.
Power and Performance: More Potent Engines Across Trims
For 2025, the Crosstrek Premium trim level now comes standard with a more powerful 2.5-liter, 182-hp SUBARU BOXER® engine, previously exclusive to the Sport, Limited, and Wilderness trims. This engine upgrade provides enhanced responsiveness and performance, making the Crosstrek even more capable whether driving in the city or exploring rugged terrain.
The entry-level Crosstrek retains the 2.0-liter direct-injection SUBARU BOXER® engine, producing 152 horsepower and 145 lb-ft of torque, while higher trims feature the 182-hp version. All models come equipped with Subaru’s Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive and a Lineartronic® CVT (continuously variable automatic transmission) for smoother and quieter performance. Drivers can also enjoy the added control of a manual mode with paddle shifters, offering eight preset transmission ratios for a more dynamic driving experience on select trims.
Standard X-MODE® and Hill Descent Control for Added Off-Road Capability
Every 2025 Crosstrek is equipped with X-MODE® with Hill Descent Control, optimizing traction on slippery surfaces and rough terrain. The Premium trim adds a dual-function X-MODE, allowing drivers to select between SNOW/DIRT and DEEP SNOW/MUD settings for superior performance in challenging conditions. With a minimum ground clearance of 8.7 inches—more than many full-size SUVs—the Crosstrek delivers impressive off-road capability across all trim levels.
Enhanced Safety: Standard EyeSight® Driver Assist Technology
Subaru continues its commitment to safety with the inclusion of the latest EyeSight® Driver Assist Technology across the entire Crosstrek lineup. This advanced system includes features such as Pre-Collision Braking, Adaptive Cruise Control, and Lane Departure Prevention. Automatic Emergency Steering is available on models equipped with Blind-Spot Detection and Lane Keep Assist, helping drivers avoid collisions at speeds below 50 mph.
Blind-Spot Detection with Rear Cross-Traffic Alert is available as part of several option packages, adding an extra layer of protection for daily driving and highway merging. Additionally, the Reverse Automatic Braking system on higher trims further enhances safety when backing up.
Interior and Technology Upgrades: Subaru STARLINK® and More
The 2025 Subaru Crosstrek comes standard with a range of modern conveniences, including dual-zone automatic climate control, power windows with auto up/down, and a tilt-and-telescoping steering column. Subaru’s STARLINK® Multimedia system is available in two sizes depending on trim level. The base model includes dual 7.0-inch touchscreens, while higher trims like the Crosstrek Premium feature an 11.6-inch Multimedia Plus system with wireless Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™ compatibility.
The top-tier SUBARU STARLINK® system offers intuitive controls for smartphone integration, navigation, and climate settings. Other available features include SiriusXM® Radio, wireless phone charging, and multiple USB-A and USB-C ports for charging in both the front and rear center consoles.
Subaru Crosstrek Wilderness: The Most Capable Crosstrek Yet
At the top of the 2025 Crosstrek lineup sits the Wilderness trim, priced at $32,495 MSRP. Designed for outdoor adventures, the Crosstrek Wilderness offers unique styling and performance upgrades. It features an impressive 9.3 inches of ground clearance, a revised final drive ratio for enhanced climbing ability, and a specially tuned CVT for better traction on slippery or uneven surfaces.
The Wilderness trim also includes exclusive exterior details like bold hexagonal front grilles, larger wheel arch cladding, and a matte-black anti-glare hood decal. Additional enhancements include all-terrain tires on 17-inch matte-black alloy wheels, a metal front skid plate, and a ladder-type roof rack with a 165-pound dynamic load capacity and a 700-pound static load capacity, perfect for rooftop tents or additional gear.
Inside, the Crosstrek Wilderness features durable, water-resistant Subaru StarTex® upholstery with copper-colored stitching and anodized copper accents. The Wilderness logo is prominently displayed on the headrests and meter display at start-up, while rugged touches like the copper-finished gear shifter and steering wheel accents complete the off-road-ready design.
