Used 2021 Subaru Crosstrek SUV Trims Comparison

The Base and Premium trims are powered by a 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine (152 horsepower), while the Sport and the Limited get the upgraded 2.5-liter four-cylinder (182 hp).

Base and Premium trims come standard with a six-speed manual transmission with an optional continuously variable automatic transmission, which is the only transmission offered on the Sport and top-of-the-line Limited.

The Base trim level gets quite a bit of equipment, including:

• 2.0-liter engine (152 hp)
• Six-speed manual transmission or optional CVT automatic
• 17-inch wheels
• Roof rails
• Automatic climate control
• 6.5-inch touchscreen
• One USB port
• Four-speaker stereo
• Apple CarPlay and Android Auto compatibility

Adding the CVT to the base trim also gets you:

• Subaru's X-Mode drive-mode selector
• Hill descent control
• Subaru's driver aid system (EyeSight) with:
• Adaptive cruise control (maintains a driver-set distance between the Subaru and the car in front)
• Lane keeping system (makes minor steering corrections to help keep the vehicle centered in its lane)

On top of the base trim with the manual, the manual-equipped Premium adds:

• Heated front seats
• Heated side mirrors
• Six-speaker stereo
• An extra USB port
• Rear cargo cover
• Foglights
• Leather-wrapped steering wheel

The Crosstrek Premium with the CVT automatic gains the same extra equipment you get on the base, which includes Subaru's EyeSight system. The Premium also offers a few options including:

• Sunroof
• Blind-spot monitor (alerts you if a vehicle in the next lane over is in your blind spot)
• Rear cross-traffic alert (warns you if a vehicle behind you is about to cross your vehicle's path while you're in reverse)

The Sport trim adds to the CVT-equipped Premium's equipment with:

• 2.5-liter engine (182 hp)
• Special fender flares
• Yellow interior stitching and simulated leather upholstery (Subaru's StarTex)
• Push-button start and keyless entry
• Rear-seat USB ports

The Sport can be had with the same option package available on the Premium (sunroof, blind-spot monitor, rear cross-traffic alert). On the Sport, it also adds an 8-inch infotainment screen.

The top-of-the-range Limited also comes with the upgraded engine plus:

• 18-inch wheels
• 8-inch infotainment interface
• Leather upholstery
• Blind-spot monitoring and rear cross-traffic alert
• Adaptive LED headlights (swivel as you turn the steering wheel for better illumination in curves)
• LED foglights
• Rear automatic braking (brakes if sensors detect an imminent collision with an object behind the vehicle)
• Power-adjustable driver's seat

Optional extras with the Limited trim include a sunroof, an eight-speaker Harman Kardon audio system and an integrated navigation system.
