The 2025 Subaru Crosstrek remains a dominant force in the subcompact SUV market, offering an ideal mix of dependability, versatility, and off-road prowess. Building on the substantial redesign introduced in 2024, this year’s model introduces small but valuable updates, reinforcing its status as an adventure-ready favorite. Subaru’s stellar performance in the 2025 Consumer Report rankings further solidifies the Crosstrek’s place as a top pick in its class. Whether you’re commuting, enjoying a weekend adventure, or exploring light off-road terrain, the Crosstrek provides an all-around driving experience you can trust.
Key Features of the 2025 Subaru Crosstrek
Engine and Transmission
Powering the Crosstrek is Subaru’s well-known 4-cylinder engine, which comes in two options. The base model has a 152-hp 2.0-liter engine, good for everyday driving and fuel efficiency. If you want more power, the Premium and higher trims come with a 182-hp 2.5-liter engine for a livelier drive. Both engines use a CVT (continuously variable automatic transmission) for better gas mileage and smooth shifting. Plus, every Crosstrek includes Subaru’s symmetrical all-wheel drive for extra grip and stability on all kinds of roads.
Fuel Economy
The Crosstrek is fuel-efficient, offering up to 27 mpg in the city and 34 mpg on the highway, depending on the model. Even with the more powerful 2.5-liter engine, it delivers almost the same highway mileage as the smaller engine. The Wilderness trim, designed for off-road adventures, gets slightly less at 27 mpg on the highway due to its special tires.
Interior and Space
The Crosstrek’s interior is practical and comfortable. The base model comes with tough cloth seats for active lifestyles, while higher trims add features like leather seats and stylish stitching. There’s plenty of room for your gear, with 20 cubic feet of cargo space behind the back seats, or 55 cubic feet when you fold them down. Backseat passengers get a roomy 36.5 inches of legroom, making long trips more comfortable. The cabin has useful storage spots, like deep door pockets, and it’s quieter and smoother than before, making it a better ride overall.
Technology
The Crosstrek includes lots of modern tech. Most trims (except the base) feature an 11.6-inch touchscreen with wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. Higher trims also include extras like wireless phone charging. All models come with Subaru’s EyeSight driver-assist system, which includes adaptive cruise control, lane-keeping assist, and emergency braking for added safety. LED headlights that turn with the steering wheel improve visibility at night.
Off-Road Capability
The 2025 Subaru Crosstrek is built for adventure, staying true to Subaru’s spirit. Even the base model is ready for light off-road fun with 8.7 inches of ground clearance, hill-descent control, and Subaru’s Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive. Want more off-road power? Check out the Wilderness trim. It comes with 9.3 inches of ground clearance, all-terrain tires for extra grip, and X-Mode to handle tough conditions like snow, mud, and dirt.
Safety First
Subaru takes safety seriously, and the Crosstrek proves it. It has a 5-star overall safety rating from the NHTSA and is a 2025 IIHS Top Safety Pick. Standard safety features include automated emergency braking, lane-departure warning with lane-keeping assist, and adaptive cruise control with lane centering.
