The 2024 Subaru Crosstrek is a comfortable, usable everyday companion that will shine in inclement weather thanks to standard all-wheel drive. It's also economical. Unfortunately, it's still one of the slowest vehicles in its class. Lackluster storage space is another blemish. But on the whole, the Crosstrek remains a solid choice for those who want a fuss-free daily driver with some off-road ability to boot.Read full review

What's new

Redesigned small crossover SUV
New Wilderness trim level
Updated infotainment and safety technology
2024 model kicks off the third Crosstrek generation

Overview

Subaru has redesigned its popular Crosstrek small crossover SUV for the 2024 model year, but it might be hard to tell. The new Crosstrek is about the same size inside and out, and it continues to offer a choice between two four-cylinder engines paired with standard all-wheel drive. The styling is similar, too, and despite a new infotainment system, the plastic-fantastic interior still looks like you could hose it out. But considering the previous Crosstrek's popularity, we expect the incrementally improved third-generation version to remain an appealing choice in the segment, especially in the new extra-rugged Wilderness trim level. Read our testing team's full Expert Rating for more details.

Edmunds spotlight: The new Crosstrek Wilderness

Aside from its next-generation infotainment and safety tech, the most substantial change to the 2024 Crosstrek is the new Wilderness trim level. All Subaru crossover SUVs offer standard all-wheel drive and substantial ground clearance, making them among the hardiest off-roaders in their competitive sets. But Wilderness specification takes the Crosstrek's capability to new levels with more than half an inch of added ground clearance, all-terrain tires and revised transmission and suspension tuning. Subaru says the Crosstrek Wilderness can tow up to 3,500 pounds, and the automaker outfits it with added body cladding, water-resistant upholstery, and other special details to support adventures in the wilderness.

Competitors to consider

There are plenty of small crossover SUVs on sale today. If you want something that can match the 2024 Subaru Crosstrek in the dirt, you might want to compare this diminutive Subie to the Ford Bronco Sport and Jeep Compass. Otherwise, the roomy Chevrolet Trailblazer and stylish Mazda CX-30 are among our top picks for this class. For something roomier, consider the more expensive Subaru Forester.

Rated for you by America's best test team.

Performance

7/10

How does the Crosstrek drive? Even in a class of relatively slow cars, the Crosstrek trails the pack. We tested a Crosstrek Premium with the base 2.0-liter engine. At our test track, it accelerated from 0 to 60 mph in a lethargic 9.9 seconds. Passing is an affair that demands patience above all else in the base 2.0-liter Crosstrek; we recommend upgrading to models with the 2.5-liter engine.

The Crosstrek isn't a handling all-star, nor should it be. The steering is a little vague and there's noticeable body roll both under braking and around corners. That said, it's a smooth operator on the road and is easy to live with and use for day-to-day duties. Even better, its all-wheel-drive system will provide extra confidence in inclement weather situations and it feels sure-footed and confident in the dirt. Don't be afraid to take it on roads less traveled.

Comfort

7.5/10

How comfortable is the Crosstrek? The Crosstrek's ride comfort deserves special mention. This little SUV's lifted stance and chunky tire sidewall help it easily absorb road impacts. There are few potholes and even fewer manhole covers that can flummox this Subie. The seats, however, don't quite match the ride's inherent comfort. The padding is a little too soft and there isn't much in the way of lateral support. We suspect the seats in higher trims that come with different materials would be more supportive.

Wind noise was ever present on our highway drives from both the door mirror and the windscreen itself. At anything above or near 65 mph, the Crosstrek is a loud place to be, so much so that conversations at normal volume are difficult to have. The fans for the climate control are also a little too weak until you crank them all the way up, and at that point they are blaring and you'll need to keep them going to keep the cabin at whatever temperature you've set.

Interior

8/10

How’s the interior? The interior of the Crosstrek is best described as simple. There aren't too many buttons, knobs or switches, but what is there is large and easy to use without you having to look too long. The buttons on the steering wheel also have a nice tactile feel and make whizzing through the instrument menus a cinch. The infotainment screen contains most of the car's primary functions, and while the screen itself isn't the highest-resolution, big buttons and icons make it easy to use.

It also feels large inside, and with its high roofline and lengthy cabin, the Crosstrek is certainly more crossover than hatchback. The rear seat is roomy and visibility is good to the sides and rear. Add to that wide door openings and an elevated seat height that make sliding in and out of the car easy and you have a very user-friendly interior.

Technology

7.5/10

How’s the tech? Tech has never been Subaru's strong suit, and the Crosstrek isn't exactly challenging that perception. Our Premium-spec test car is the lowest trim level that comes with the 11.4-inch tablet-like infotainment display. While we appreciate the screen's large icons, the system can be slow to respond to your inputs.

Another pain point is the Crosstrek's stereo. While an upgraded version is available on the top-spec Limited model, most Crosstreks come with just six speakers. The result is a sound that's tinny throughout the volume range. The system also lacks any real bass and can't overcome the poor cabin acoustics. Those who enjoy in-car audio might want to stay away from anything other than the upgraded system.

Subaru does equip the Crosstrek with many standard driver aids. Their operation could be better, however. The forward collision warning system can be a little jumpy, occasionally identifying a trash can on the street as a pedestrian or car and issuing a startling warning. Lane keeping assistance warnings are triggered often, too, despite how accurately you try to keep the car in its lane. The adaptive cruise control maintained consistent gaps with other cars in traffic in our testing, but the Crosstrek's laggard acceleration occasionally means that other cars have the opportunity to cut in front of you while it struggles to catch the car that's pulled away.

Storage

7.5/10

How’s the storage? The Crosstrek has less cargo space than some top rivals. It only offers 19.9 cubic feet of storage space behind the rear seats, which is less than what the Chevy Trailblazer and Volkswagen Taos offer. The cabin also has minimal storage for smaller items. The door pockets feel undersized and large bottles won't fit in any of the cupholders. Add to that a small center console and your loose items will likely be packing these spaces in no time.

Car seats, however, are easy to fit. The aforementioned large door openings, easy-to-access LATCH mounting points and the Crosstrek's ride height mean installation is a no-brainer. There's also a lot of room in the backseat area, making fitting even a large rear-facing seat easy.

Continue reading Edmunds Expert Rating below

Fuel Economy

8/10

How’s the fuel economy? The EPA says the Crosstrek with the 2.0-liter engine, which is what we tested, should get 29 mpg in combined city/highway driving. That's an average figure for an extra-small SUV with all-wheel drive. On our real-world test route, we managed 33.4 mpg, indicating that the EPA's estimate should be pretty easy to achieve in the real world.

Value

7/10

Is the Crosstrek a good value? When so much of the Crosstrek's competition has upped its game in terms of quality, feature availability and on-road performance, the Crosstrek with the 2.0-liter feels a little lackluster. Our test Crosstrek had interior panels that featured different colors and textures and weren't very nice to the touch. This is an area competitors like the Mazda CX-30 and the Kia Seltos have nailed down, and they cost no more than the Crosstrek. The Subaru's inherent value is in what it can do off-road, but in terms of what you get out of the box, the Crosstrek is lacking.

Subaru's warranty is similarly average. It only offers three years/36,000 miles of basic warranty coverage and roadside assistance, and the powertrain is warrantied for five years/60,000 miles. While some competitors offer free maintenance, Subaru doesn't.

Wildcard

8/10

The Crosstrek is a favorite of those who trod the path less taken, and it's easy to see why. It's simply made and perfectly utilitarian, and while it isn't fun on the pavement, looser surfaces really suit it and Subaru's rally heritage. It would also make a fantastic camping companion. However, you're destined to see these everywhere you look, and Crosstrek ownership absolutely comes at the expense of individuality.

Which Crosstrek does Edmunds recommend?

Trust us: You're going to want a Crosstrek with the larger 2.5-liter four-cylinder engine, which at least attempts to accelerate out of its own way. But the value-packed version equipped with this engine is the Sport trim, which has hideous yellow accents on it. That inspires us to recommend the Limited trim. It gives you nearly all of the available equipment at its base price except for the desperately needed Harman Kardon premium sound system. And, though well equipped, the Limited remains price-competitive with primary off-road-oriented rivals.

2024 Subaru Crosstrek Premium 4dr SUV AWD (2.0L 4cyl CVT)

My first Subaru, and I am absolutely in love! The seats are extremely comfortable, the ride feels like you’re literally gliding across the road, and the large touch screen in the center of the dash just makes the vehicle feel SO 2024.

3 Months Old. Major Repair Needed

TPTaylor, 07/29/2023

2024 Subaru Crosstrek Premium 4dr SUV AWD (2.0L 4cyl CVT)

I bought a new 2024 Crosstrek Premium from Subaru of Kennesaw 3 months ago. The new Crosstrek is roomier than most vehicles at that price point and had plenty of cargo space to hold the luggage of a family of 4 on a weekend trip. Fuel economy averaged a little over 28 mpg. The ride was smooth and the handling more like a sedan than an SUV. Those were the high points. As far as the lows, … the acceleration has been described as “pokey” and that’s accurate. Accelerating onto a busy interstate leaves you feeling like the engine is trying to catch up. Interesting enough, there are no issues with the acceleration when resuming the cruise control set speed. It seems the Crosstrek responds much better to the computer than to the gas pedal. The computer is the MAJOR problem with this vehicle. After almost 3 months of driving it the “infotainment” or “head unit” system died; and when I say died, I mean that it has to be replaced with at least a one month wait time for a replacement part. The car can be driven without this part, but it disabled all of the safety and security features except for the locks and all A/C, phone, radio and anything else accessed by that system is gone. And here’s where insult was added to injury. I suggested that since the car was only 3 months old and already needing the equivalent of an auto brain transplant that the dealership allow me to have a different vehicle. They referred me to Subaru Corporate and the Customer Advocacy Team. What I experience with that department was the opposite of customer advocacy. Their representative said they didn’t replace cars due to a “broken radio” which is a little like calling my iPhone a fancy calculator. When I tried to ask for his manager, he gave me the old “I am the manager” routine and when I asked to speak to “someone above him” he informed me there was no one above him and directed me back to the dealership because “they should stand behind the cars they sell.” Apparently Subaru does not. Now I’m in limbo as the dealership and Subaru attempt determine who should do what in this situation. This is not my first Subaru and until this issue I was happy with the Crosstrek. Now, I can’t see myself buying another. It’s one thing to say you stand behind your vehicles and another to actually do it. I also have serious concerns about the 2024 Crosstrek given this completely unexplained malfunction so early into the life of the vehicle. I’ll be interested to see if this happens with others.

Subaru Crosstrek vs. Ford Bronco Sport

Equipped with a standard turbocharged engine and more cargo room than a Crosstrek, the Ford Bronco Sport is a more practical daily driver than the Subaru. In addition, it contains more innovative storage solutions for your gear. However, Ford's boxy Bronco Sport doesn't offer quite as much ground clearance as the Subaru, especially when comparing the Badlands trim to the Crosstrek Wilderness. And to get a comparable amount of equipment, you'll spend thousands more on the Bronco Sport than on the Crosstrek.

Subaru Crosstrek vs. Honda HR-V

Honda recently redesigned the HR-V, transforming it into a conventional small SUV without some of the quirky details that made the first-generation version endearing. However, one thing Honda didn't change was the HR-V's lethargic acceleration, which it has in common with the Crosstrek. Both SUVs offer comparable amounts of cargo space, but only the Subaru is prepared to tackle any terrain more daunting than the gravel parking lot at the weekend farmers market. However, the Honda comes with complimentary scheduled maintenance.

Subaru Crosstrek vs. Jeep Compass

Equipped with a standard turbocharged engine, all-wheel drive, and a surprisingly roomy interior featuring sophisticated technology, the Jeep Compass is unexpectedly appealing. It also provides more cargo space than the Crosstrek, and you'll enjoy complimentary scheduled maintenance through the Jeep Wave program. However, when comparably equipped, the Jeep costs substantially more than the Subaru, and the Compass Trailhawk cannot match the Wilderness in ground clearance.
