our expert's take

What Is the 2025 Subaru Crosstrek?

The Subaru Crosstrek is a five-seat subcompact SUV that comes standard with all-wheel drive and is focused on outdoor adventures. The base trim is powered by a 152-horsepower, 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine. All other trims — Premium, Sport, Limited and Wilderness — come with a 182-hp, 2.5-liter four-cylinder. With either engine, the lone transmission is a continuously variable automatic. The Crosstrek’s rivals include the Chevrolet Trax, Honda HR-V, Hyundai Kona, Kia Seltos, Toyota Corolla Cross and Volkswagen Taos.   

What’s New on the 2025 Subaru Crosstrek?

The Crosstrek was redesigned for the 2024 model year. The only noteworthy change for 2025 is that the available 2.5-liter engine and dual-function X-Mode with hill descent control are now standard on the Premium trim; they previously came only on the Sport, Limited and Wilderness trim levels. A Crosstrek Hybrid is slated to join the Crosstrek lineup for the 2026 model year. 

What Features in the 2025 Subaru Crosstrek Are Most Important?

Standard features include:

  • 7-inch infotainment touchscreen
  • Apple CarPlay and Android Auto
  • Cloth seats
  • USB-A charge port
  • Four-speaker stereo
  • Rear-seat reminder
  • Adaptive cruise control
  • Automatic high-beam headlights
  • Lane departure steering assist

Available features include:

  • Heated front seats
  • Heated steering wheel
  • 11.6-inch infotainment screen
  • Wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto
  • Raised suspension (Wilderness)
  • All-terrain tires
  • Moonroof
  • Blind spot warning
  • Rear cross-traffic alert

Should I Buy the 2025 Subaru Crosstrek?

Though it’s technically a raised, SUV-ized version of Subaru’s Impreza compact hatchback, the Crosstrek works very well as a versatile subcompact SUV for outdoorsy owners. Sluggish acceleration is the Crosstrek’s biggest demerit; even the optional four-cylinder is lethargic. On the plus side, fuel economy is good, and passenger and cargo space are decent given the Crosstrek’s tidy exterior dimensions. The range-topping Wilderness trim is further fortified for rough terrain and should also appeal to those who intend to take their Crosstrek off-road regularly.

    My previous car became a money pit with multiple repairs

    My previous car became a money pit with multiple repairs needed, all costing me thousands of dollars to do repairs. It was items that were not covered under my maintenance plan. I decided to trade it in for a new vehicle. It’s nice to drive a car that can almost drive itself on the road.

    Traded in a 2008 Highlander for the Base trim Crosstrek

    Traded in a 2008 Highlander for the Base trim Crosstrek mostly because of poor experiences with Toyota dealership service and sales departments after buying four cars from them. Now we wish we had bought a Subaru years ago. The Crosstrek turned out to be much more than we expected. Performance is adequate. Mileage is awesome. And safety features are the best.

    I had a dinosaur car and finally traded in for the 2025 subaru crosstrek limited. Kinda expensive but, I feel safer driving it and the desert weather is harsh where I’m at so this car is very reliable. (4WD)

    I just purchased my first ever Subaru, premium model.

    I just purchased my first ever Subaru, premium model. First month I racked up 5,000 miles. I like how it sits up high , very easy to get in & out. I've been using it diving Uber & getting ready to take it on Lake Superior Circle tour. I'm averaging 34-37. It's a little noisy on concrete pavement. Makes my F150 feel like a Cadillac . I actually like it more than I thought I would.

    I have been a Subaru owner for a number of years. I traded a 2022 WRX for the Crosstrek. The new vehicle meets my standards. Not the performance of a WRX but very smooth and comfortable.

    I have not purchased a car since 1997.

    I have not purchased a car since 1997. My needs have shifted from a sports car to a compact SUV that is higher off the ground and easier to get into. What impresses me the most is initially the leather interior, but the seats are amazing. The driver's seat is fully adjustable and more comfortable than anything I have experienced before. The handling, performance, and safety features provide the quality that I am looking for. The sales staff at Kendall Subaru were supportive and helpful. Jerry Thompson was my primary sales contact and worked with me over a period of time until I was ready to complete my purchase.

    This 2025 Subaru Crosstrek Limited replaces my 2021 Crosstrek 6MT. Sad to give up the manual transmission but this one is really outstanding. Loaded with comfort and safety features the car is tremendous value for the cost. Quiet and comfortable with a nice look.
