1. 2024 Subaru Crosstrek 2.0 AWD
- Base Price: $25,195
- MPG Combined: 29
- Drive Type: All-wheel drive
- Engine: 2.0-liter flat-4
- Aspiration: Naturally aspirated
- Transmission: CVT
- Horsepower: 152
- Torque: 145 lb-ft
- 0-60: 9.5 sec
- Weight: 3,277 lbs
- Length: 176.4 in
- Towing Capacity: 1,500 lbs
The base 2.0-liter Crosstrek has an alluringly low starting price, but its acceleration is anything but alluring — this engine is long in the tooth and short on power. Unfortunately, it comes standard on both the base Crosstrek and the one-level-up Crosstrek Premium. The 2.5-liter engine replaces it starting with the Crosstrek Sport trim.
2. 2024 Subaru Crosstrek 2.5 AWD
- Base Price: $29,195
- MPG Combined: 29
- Drive Type: All-wheel drive
- Engine: 2.5-liter flat-4
- Aspiration: Naturally aspirated
- Transmission: CVT
- Horsepower: 182
- Torque: 178 lb-ft
- 0-60: 8.1 sec
- Weight: 3,332 lbs
- Length: 176.4 in
- Towing Capacity: 1,500 lbs
The Sport and Limited trims both come with the 2.5-liter engine, as does the Wilderness, which we cover separately. It doesn't turn the Crosstrek into a wannabe WRX, but it definitely adds a measure of confidence when you need to pass or merge. Happily, fuel economy is barely impacted at all by the engine upgrade.
3. 2024 Subaru Crosstrek Wilderness (2.5 AWD)
- Base Price: $32,195
- MPG Combined: 27
- Drive Type: All-wheel drive
- Engine: 2.5-liter flat-4
- Aspiration: Naturally aspirated
- Transmission: CVT
- Horsepower: 182
- Torque: 178 lb-ft
- 0-60: 8.6 sec
- Weight: 3,369 lbs
- Length: 176.4 in
- Towing Capacity: 3,500 lbs
The Wilderness gets all-terrain tires and even more ground clearance than lesser Crosstreks, plus a huge bump in max towing capacity (3,500 pounds versus 1,500). Those fancy tires take a bite out of acceleration and especially fuel economy, but they also make for a comfy, drive-over-anything kind of ride quality, which is cool.
