Subaru Crosstrek for Sale

A Look at the Crosstrek’s History

Are you thinking about buying a Crosstrek? Great choice! This subcompact SUV from Subaru has been a favorite of drivers since its debut in 2013. Which, when we think about it, wasn’t that long ago. Still, the Crosstrek has made quite an impression despite its young age. This sporty model may still be establishing itself in the market but still has lots to offer drivers looking for a deal.

The Crosstrek offers convenience as well as performance. With seating for up to five passengers, it's great for small families or a group of friends looking for adventure. Standard all-wheel drive gives the Crosstrek enhanced off-roading capabilities compared to other models in its class. The interior is durable and paired with user-friendly technology for a well-rounded ride that everyone can enjoy. The wide rear hatch makes it easy to access the rear cargo area and take advantage of the Crosstrek’s exceptional space for everyday essentials, luggage, or equipment.

The first generation of the Crosstrek began in 2013 and lasted until 2017. The first-generation Crosstrek shared its platform with the Subaru Impreza, giving a smooth and responsive feel that was more car than SUV. Standard all-wheel drive was introduced on the first generation of Crosstreks, so no matter which year you choose to pick up, you will get plenty of value. During the first generation, the Crosstrek was given a refresh in 2015. An updated infotainment system, new tech, updated safety features, and an appearance upgrade kept the Crosstrek fresh and exciting for drivers.

The second-generation Crosstrek was rolled out in 2018. With upgrades to its engine and chassis, the second generation offered rugged good looks with increased performance potential. The 2018 model included the available addition of Subaru's EyeSight driver-assistance technology with tech systems like adaptive cruise control and lane-keeping assist.

The 2018 Crosstrek drew high praise from drivers for its increased reliability and improved comfort over the previous generation. The great resale value of a second-generation model makes it a solid investment for drivers who don’t need the newest bells and whistles yet require a vehicle they can rely on day in and day out.

In 2019, drivers saw the arrival of the first Crosstrek plug-in hybrid model. The model combines the Crosstrek’s Boxer engine with an electric motor to increase fuel efficiency for drivers hoping to reduce their carbon footprint without compromising performance. A combined range of 480 miles made it appealing to commuters looking to save.

The second generation of Crosstrek is often the go-to generation for drivers looking to unlock the value of a Subaru without straining their budget, with one of the most noteworthy years being the refreshed 2021 model. Updated styling was joined by a more powerful 2.5L engine that gave the Crosstrek a bit more punch on the highway.

The Crosstrek only continued to improve for its third generation in 2024, offering drivers all the features they love about the subcompact model combined with the latest advanced tech and performance. More adventurous drivers were particularly excited by the introduction of the even more rugged Wilderness trim for the 2024 redesign. With a lifted suspension and upgraded off-road features, the Crosstrek Wilderness can go just about anywhere.

Five Reasons to Get a Subaru Crosstrek

#1: Standard Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive

With so much competition on the market, you may be wondering why you should pick a Crosstrek over any other subcompact SUV. There are many reasons why you should choose the Crosstrek, the first of which is the standard Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive. Having some kind of all-wheel drive capability is crucial when you are on the trails, and Subaru has spent years perfecting its system. With its focus on weight distribution leading to greater stability on slick surfaces, standard Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive is a big deal. Having this setup at no additional cost is a compelling argument against competing SUVs that lock all-wheel drive behind paywalls, pricier engines, and higher trims.

#2: The Subaru Boxer Engine

The second reason why you should consider a Crosstrek is because of its performance. Subaru stands out for its development of the Boxer engine. Unlike a standard engine, which orients the pistons vertically with the crankshaft at the bottom, Boxer engines have horizontal pistons driving a crankshaft in the middle of the engine. This flat design can be placed low in the car, reducing the center of gravity, which increases safety and driveability. If you want a more stable ride while retaining ample power like what you’d find on various competitors, then a Boxer engine is what you should get, and the Subaru Crosstrek comes with one.

#3: Off-Roading Excellence

The third reason why you should consider a Crosstrek is its off-roading excellence. Aside from the aforementioned Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive that comes standard, other features make off-roading possible, and Subaru has left no stone unturned with the Crosstrek. For example, a proper off-roading vehicle needs enhanced ground clearance to avoid damage to your car's underside. Subaru knows this, so the Crosstrek also comes standard with the necessary ground clearance to go off-roading and not worry about damaging your vehicle. For the best possible ground clearance, look for the lifted Wilderness trim.

#4: A Comfortable Interior

Another reason why you should consider the Crosstrek is because of its customizability. Firstly, it’s important to note that the standard Crosstrek models are among the best in the industry for drivers looking for a rugged interior that can stand up to years of adventures. However, if you want to mix the versatility of the Crosstrek with lots of luxury, then you’ll have options to make your driving experience better looking and feeling. For example, you can get a leather-wrapped steering wheel with leather-appointed seats. You can also add power-adjustable heated seating and upgrade the infotainment system with additional features to keep you informed and entertained.

#5: Easily Attainable

Lastly, one more reason why you should consider the Crosstrek is its attainability. Despite its amazing standard features, Subaru keeps the Crosstrek extremely affordable. While you might think remarkable off-road performance and incredible safety would come at a premium, Subaru proves that doesn't have to be the case. The Crosstrek is even more affordable if you shop used, and because it's so popular, it's easy to find used models for sale. Best of all, the Crosstrek models in the pre-owned market are still going to last a long time, with 96% of Subaru models sold in the last ten years still on the road today.
