Used 2023 Subaru Crosstrek SUV Trims Comparison

There are two main engines for the Crosstrek:

• Base and Premium trims: 2.0-liter four-cylinder (152 horsepower, 145 lb-ft of torque)
• Sport and Limited: more powerful 2.5-liter four-cylinder (182 hp, 176 lb-ft)

There's also the Crosstrek Hybrid. It's a plug-in hybrid that combines a 2.0-liter engine with hybrid componentry that you can recharge at home or at a public charging station. Combined output from this powertrain is 148 hp. On a full charge the Crosstrek Hybrid can drive about 17 miles on all-electric power, according to the EPA. A full charge takes about two hours when plugged into a Level 2 charging station or about five hours on a standard 110-volt outlet.

Base
Comes pretty well equipped with:

• 17-inch alloy wheels
• Roof rails
• Automatic climate control
• Height-adjustable driver's seat
• 60/40-split folding rear seat
• 6.5-inch touchscreen
• One USB port
• Four-speaker audio system
• Apple CarPlay and Android Auto smartphone integration

Adding the CVT to the base trim also gets you:

• Subaru's X-Mode (off-roading drive setting)
• Hill descent control
• Subaru's driver aid system (EyeSight) with:
• Forward collision mitigation (warns you of an impending collision and applies the brakes in certain scenarios)
• 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:

• Foglights
• Heated front seats
• Heated side mirrors
• Leather-wrapped steering wheel
• Six-speaker stereo
• Satellite radio
• An extra USB port
• Rear cargo cover
• Starlink connected services suite (subscription required)

The Crosstrek Premium with the CVT gains the same extra equipment you get on the base, which includes Subaru's EyeSight system. The Premium's single, unnamed optional feature package adds:

• Sunroof
• Keyless entry and ignition
• Power-adjustable driver's seat
• 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)

• Black and red upholstery
• Larger 8-inch infotainment touchscreen
• Upgraded instrument cluster

Sport
Adds to the CVT-equipped Premium's equipment with:

• More powerful engine

• Rear cross-traffic alert (warns you if a vehicle behind you is about to cross your vehicle's path while you're in reverse)

Limited
The Limited is equipped with all the Sport's standard and optional features, except for its unique fender flares and seat upholstery. The Limited also comes with:

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

The Limited's sole option package bundles:

• Eight-speaker Harman Kardon audio system
• Integrated navigation system
• Sunroof (also available on its own)

Hybrid
The Crosstrek Hybrid is equipped similarly to the Limited model, though it has unique blue stitching in the cabin. Options are similar to those of the Limited, two changes: The sunroof isn't available on its own, and the package includes a heated steering wheel.
