2027 Subaru Crosstrek: Pricing, Trims and What’s New

Subaru updates Crosstrek lineup for 2027; arrives this fall

Subaru's compact crossover receives a light refresh for the 2027 model year, with dealer arrivals slated for later this fall. Changes are modest but meaningful for buyers who follow trim availability, color choices, and hybrid packaging. The company keeps the same two core powertrain families — a conventional gasoline boxer engine and an electrified 2.5-liter hybrid — paired with CVT and standard all-wheel drive.

Trim and color changes

The most notable lineup tweak is the discontinuation of the gas-only Sport trim. In addition, Subaru shuffled exterior paint options: Pure Red and Lithium Red Pearl are replaced by Ignition Red on the Limited Hybrid, while Alpine Green is out and a new Tidepool Teal Pearl joins the palette. These updates are small but help refresh appeal across buyers seeking either a traditional or electrified Crosstrek.

Key pricing highlights

Pricing for the 2027 Subaru Crosstrek remains largely consistent with last year, with one exception. Here are the starting MSRPs for the U.S. market:

  • Base: $26,995
  • Premium: $27,995
  • Sport Hybrid: $33,995
  • Limited: $32,995
  • Limited Hybrid: $35,995 (up $1,000 vs. last year)
  • Wilderness: $33,795

Aside from the $1,000 increase to the Limited Hybrid, Subaru has held prices steady across the rest of the range. That keeps the Crosstrek competitive in the compact SUV segment where value, capability, and safety tech are key purchase drivers.

What you get at each trim

Entry-level Crosstrek models arrive well-equipped for daily driving. The base grade includes a dual 7-inch multimedia setup, smartphone connectivity, Bluetooth, a rearview camera, gray cloth seats, keyless entry with push-button start, adaptive LED headlights, and 17-inch wheels.

Step up to Premium and you gain a larger 11.6-inch infotainment display, an upgraded audio system, wireless smartphone integration, LED fog lamps, and raised ladder-style roof rails for added utility.

The Limited adds 18-inch wheels, perforated leather upholstery with contrast orange stitching, a heated steering wheel, and expanded driver-assist features such as automatic emergency steering, emergency lane keep assist, and driver distraction mitigation.

The Wilderness model targets light off-road buyers. It sits higher, rides on exclusive 17-inch wheels, wears unique exterior accents, and swaps in durable StarTex upholstery with copper stitching.

Hybrid-focused equipment

The Sport Hybrid and Limited Hybrid versions emphasize hybrid-specific hardware and convenience:

  • Hybrid-exclusive 18-inch wheels (Sport Hybrid)
  • 12.3-inch digital gauge cluster
  • 11.6-inch infotainment screen
  • 10-way power driver seat
  • All-weather package and lane-keeping assist
  • Limited Hybrid adds Harman Kardon audio and, for 2027, a new power moonroof on that grade

All trims come standard with Subaru's EyeSight Driver Assist Technology suite, reinforcing the brand's safety-first image.

Power, performance and range

Gasoline Crosstreks use Subaru's flat-four boxer engine, delivering 180 horsepower and 178 lb-ft of torque, routed through a continuously variable transmission to all four wheels. Hybrid models employ an electrified 2.5-liter boxer setup that produces a combined 194 horsepower. Subaru estimates an EPA total driving range of 598 miles on a full tank for the hybrid variants, underlining the efficiency gains of the electrified powertrain.

Where the Crosstrek sits in the market

Now in its third generation, the Crosstrek has cemented itself as a practical, go-anywhere compact crossover. Built at Subaru's Lafayette, Indiana plant since production began in 2022, the model was introduced to North American showrooms as the 2024 model year. It competes with compact SUVs that emphasize all-weather capability, safety technology, and modest off-road aptitude — attributes that continue to play well with outdoor-minded buyers.

Summary highlights:

  • Minor styling and color updates, Sport gas trim removed
  • Most MSRPs unchanged; Limited Hybrid up $1,000
  • Standard AWD, CVT; gasoline and hybrid powertrains
  • Strong safety tech with EyeSight across the range

For shoppers seeking a compact SUV that blends everyday comfort, capable AWD, and a hybrid option, the 2027 Subaru Crosstrek remains a compelling choice.

Nice refresh but feels like a paint job+trim shuffle, $1k for Limited Hybrid? meh.. Still love the AWD, just wanted bolder changes
