The 2023 Subaru Crosstrek and Crosstrek Hybrid offer a wide variety of options to make the most out of your late-summer adventures–on and off-road.
Crosstrek is available in Base, Premium, new Special Edition, Sport and Limited trims, while the Crosstrek Hybrid is offered in a single highly equipped trim level. Every model comes standard with legendary Subaru Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive, Active Torque Vectoring and 8.7-inch ground clearance, making it a competent compact SUV.
Under the Hood
Base and Premium models are powered by a 152-hp 2.0-liter engine and mated to a standard 6-speed manual transmission or optional continuously variable transmission. CVT models achieve an EPA-estimated fuel economy of 28 mpg in city and 33 mpg on the highway: the 6-speed manual models deliver at 22 mpg in city and 29 mpg on the highway.
Fitted in the Crosstrek hybrid model is a 2.0-liter direct boxer engine with two electric motors. It delivers an estimated 17 miles of electric driving on a full charge.

Interior comes in water-repellent upholstery with red contrast stitching throughout the cabin, including the armrests, leather-wrapped steering wheel, dash panel and center console.
