2026 Subaru Crosstrek Trims Comparison

2026 Crosstrek trim level differences

[Editor's note: The following unofficial information is based on last year's Crosstrek and contains what we know for far about the 2026 model. We'll update this section once we have complete information.] The 2026 Subaru Crosstrek will come in five trim levels: Base, Premium, Sport, Limited and Wilderness. The Base trim has a 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine (152 horsepower, 145 lb-ft of torque), and the Premium, Sport, Limited and Wilderness trims use a 2.5-liter four-cylinder (182 hp, 178 lb-ft). Both engines pair with a continuously variable automatic transmission (CVT) and a standard all-wheel-drive system. Trim levels for the hybrid will be announced later in 2025.
