Subaru of America, Inc. today announced pricing on the all-new 2024 Crosstrek with new exterior and interior designs, improved ride and handling, enhanced safety, and updated multimedia technology. The third-generation Crosstrek is a highly capable compact SUV with a comprehensive list of standard and available features at a competitive price.

For 2024, the Crosstrek will be available in Base, Premium, Sport and Limited trim levels and has a starting price of $24,995 (same MSRP as prior Base model equipped with Lineartronic CVT). The Base and Premium will begin arriving in Subaru retailers this spring and the Sport and Limited will follow in the summer.

The compact SUV comes standard with Subaru Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive, X-MODE® with Hill Descent Control and 17-inch alloy wheels with all-season tires. The 8.7-inch ground clearance for all Crosstrek models is greater than that of many SUVs, yet it maintains a comfortably low step-in height for both front and rear passenger entry.

The Base and Premium are equipped with a 2.0-liter 4-cylinder direct-injection SUBARU BOXER® engine producing 152-hp and 145 lb.-ft. of torque. The Sport and Limited upgrade to a responsive 2.5-liter BOXER engine with 182 hp and 178 lb.-ft. of torque.

Standard on all trim levels is an updated Lineartronic CVT (Continuously Variable Transmission) with 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.

The 2024 Crosstrek comes standard with the latest version of the 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.
