2024 Subaru Crosstrek Review and Specs

The Subaru Crosstrek has long been an economical, tough, and fuel-efficient package meant to venture a little bit further off the beaten path than an Impreza hatchback, but it has never been a rock-crawling off-road vehicle. When the Crosstrek goes into its next iteration for the 2024 model year, that won't change. The Crosstrek's design builds on the design of its predecessor, in typical Subaru flair. Its interior, which is still as roomy and useful as the 2023 model, is comparable. The standard 2.0-liter flat-four engine has 152 horsepower, while a 2.5-liter flat-four with 182 horsepower is an optional feature. The engine options remain the same from 2023. All-wheel drive is standard on all models, in keeping with the Subaru manner.

Cost and Selection of Items for Purchase

The 2024 Subaru Crosstrek has a starting price of $26,540 and may cost up to $33,290, depending on the model and accessories. We anticipate seeing a plug-in hybrid model in the lineup as well, but Subaru hasn't confirmed this. Until that model is released, we believe the Sport trim will be the best option because it gives you access to the more potent engine.

Performance, Engine, and Transmission

The base engine of the 2024 Crosstrek is a 2.0-liter four-cylinder with 152 horsepower; however, the Sport, Wilderness, and Limited variants have a more potent 2.5-liter four with 182 horsepower. Soon, a 148-hp plug-in hybrid engine is anticipated to be added to the lineup. None of those have previously performed in a way that would be deemed notable, and the 2024 model is also mediocre. In our testing, we measured the time it took to reach 60 mph in 8.1 seconds for the Limited model with the bigger of the two four-cylinder engines, and 9.5 seconds for the Premium model with the 152 horsepower four-cylinder engine. Although Subaru provided a CVT or a six-speed stick for the previous Crosstrek, the carmaker regrettably discontinued the manual this this time. Standard equipment on most Subaru vehicles includes all-wheel drive. Subaru's WRX sports sedan is not an inspiration for the Crosstrek's chassis design. It's a soft-riding crossover that doesn't provide as much driving excitement as the Mazda CX-30 or the Volkswagen Taos, even if its cornering skills are probably considerably more than what its intended consumer would require. Since the Crosstrek has at least 8.7 inches of ground clearance and features like hill-descent control and hill-start assistance, it can definitely go off-road more than those crossovers. With 9.3 inches of ground clearance and more aggressive all-terrain tires, the Wilderness trim is available.

Cargo, Comfort, and Interior

Although the new Crosstrek is roughly as roomy and cargo-friendly as the previous model, Subaru has added extra sound-deadening materials to reduce vibrations and updated the seat design for increased comfort. The Subaru's uncomplicated styling may disappoint purchasers looking for a more sophisticated aesthetic, and the inside will continue to be blatantly utilitarian. Although most trims come with fabric upholstery, leather upholstery is an optional feature. Higher-end variants will include patterned inserts with silver stitching. In addition, the cargo area provides 20 cubic feet of room with the back seats up and 55 cubic feet with the rear seats folded down. The front doors include large pockets for holding water bottles and other loose things.

Connectivity and Entertainment

The 11.6-inch infotainment display that is standard on other Subaru models, such the WRX sports sedan and Outback station wagon, will also be available on the 2024 Crosstrek, albeit it is not standard. The basic model has a smaller 7.0-inch display, but both screens support Android Auto and Apple CarPlay.

Features for Safety and Driver Assistance

Subaru's most recent suite of driver-assistance features, EyeSight, comes standard on the 2024 Crosstrek.

• Typical automatic braking in an emergency
• Normal lane-departure alert with assistance for lane-keeping
• Adaptive cruise control standard

Coverage for Maintenance and Warranty

Subaru offers warranties that are exactly comparable to those of the majority of its rivals. The plug-in Crosstrek has additional coverage to cover the car's costly battery-electric components, just like many competing hybrids do.

• A limited warranty is valid for 36 months or 36,000 miles.
• A powertrain warranty is valid for 60,000 miles or five years.
• The warranty for hybrid components lasts for eight years or 100,000 miles.
• No free planned maintenance
