Subaru Crosstrek 2018-present Specifications

The 2018-Present Subaru Crosstrek offers two engine options: a 2.0L 4-cylinder Boxer engine producing 152 hp and 145 lb-ft of torque, and a 2.5L 4-cylinder Boxer engine available in higher trims, delivering 182 hp and 176 lb-ft of torque. The 2.5L engine provides improved acceleration and towing capacity, while the 2.0L engine focuses on fuel efficiency.

The Crosstrek comes with a standard 6-speed manual transmission or an optional Lineartronic� CVT (Continuously Variable Transmission). The CVT features adaptive control and manual mode with paddle shifters for enhanced driving dynamics.

The Crosstrek includes Subaru's EyeSight� Driver Assist Technology (standard or optional depending on trim), which features adaptive cruise control, pre-collision braking, lane departure warning, and lane keep assist. Other safety features include a rearview camera, blind-spot detection, rear cross-traffic alert, and advanced airbag system.

The Crosstrek achieves an EPA-estimated 28 mpg city/33 mpg highway with the 2.0L engine and CVT, which is competitive with vehicles like the Honda HR-V (28/34 mpg) and Toyota C-HR (27/31 mpg). The 2.5L engine offers slightly lower efficiency at 26 mpg city/33 mpg highway but provides more power.

Subaru recommends an oil change every 6,000 miles or 6 months, whichever comes first. Other maintenance tasks include tire rotation every 7,500 miles, brake fluid replacement every 30,000 miles, and spark plug replacement every 60,000 miles.

The Crosstrek offers standard features like a 6.5-inch infotainment display, Apple CarPlay� and Android AutoTM integration, and all-wheel drive. Higher trims include an 8-inch touchscreen, Harman Kardon� premium audio, leather-trimmed upholstery, and a power moonroof.

The Crosstrek provides 20.8 cubic feet of cargo space behind the rear seats and 55.3 cubic feet with the seats folded, similar to the Honda HR-V (24.3/58.8 cubic feet) and Toyota C-HR (19.1/36.4 cubic feet). Passenger space is comparable, with ample legroom and headroom in both rows.

The Crosstrek has a maximum towing capacity of 1,500 lbs when properly equipped. Payload capacity is approximately 1,000 lbs, depending on the trim and configuration.
