All-New 2024 Subaru Crosstrek Starts From $24,995

The all-new 2024 Subaru Crosstrek begins arriving this spring starting from $24,995, the same entry level price as the 2023 model.  New for 2024, for the first time ever, some Crosstrek production moves to the U.S. Subaru says the 2.5-liter BOXER engine Sport and Limited grades will be assembled at Subaru of Indiana Automotive, Inc. in Lafayette, Indiana. They begin arriving at Subaru retailers this summer. Subaru will still build the Base and Premium grades in Japan and they arrive first this spring.

All-New 2024 Subaru Crosstrek

Subaru says the third-generation 2024 Crosstrek will offer improved ride and handling thanks to a 10-percent stiffer chassis. Other upgrades include enhanced safety and a newly available 11.6-inch multimedia display.

All models in the four-trim lineup feature an 8.7-inch ground clearance.  Standard features include Subaru Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive, X-MODE with Hill Descent Control, 17-inch alloy wheels in dark gray finish with all-season tires and a Tire Pressure Monitoring System with individual tire display and automatic individual wheel ID registration.

Design

Subaru's updated the Crosstrek's looks for 2024 with a frameless hexagonal grille, compact headlights, a more sculptural body, and a broad-shouldered stance.  Black wheel arch cladding and rocker panels provide a sharp contrast to the body color. Inside Subaru says a more supportive front seat design increases overall comfort and minimizes fatigue.

Powertrain

There are two engine options. The Base and Premium grades are equipped with a 2.0-liter 4-cylinder direct-injection SUBARU BOXER engine producing 152-horsepower and 145 pound-feet of torque. Both the Sport and Limited models upgrade to a more powerful 2.5-liter BOXER engine with 182-horsepower and 178 lb.-ft. of torque.

Both engines are mated to an updated Lineartronic CVT (Continuously Variable Transmission) that Subaru says delivers a smoother and quieter performance.  The Premium, Sport and Limited trims feature a manual mode with steering wheel paddle shifters that allow the driver to control the transmission via eight pre-set ratios. The SUV’s drivetrain is further enhanced with standard Active Torque Vectoring and the SI-Drive performance management system.

Eyesight Safety System

The 2024 Crosstrek comes standard with the latest version of Subaru's award-winning EyeSight Driver Assist Technology.  Blind-Spot Detection with Lane Keep Assist and Rear Cross-Traffic Alert is available on Premium and higher.

Models equipped with both Eyesight and Blind-Spot Detection now include Automatic Emergency Steering which works with these safety features to assist with steering control to help avoid a collision at speeds less than 50 mph.

For the first time,  an 11.6-inch Multimedia Plus system is available for Crosstrek. It's compatible with wireless Apple CarPlay and wireless Android Auto.  Additional features include Bluetooth hands-free phone and audio streaming connectivity; AM/FM stereo; rear vision camera; SiriusXM All-Access Radio and SiriusXM Travel Link (4-month free Platinum Plan); HD Radio; and over-the-air updates.
