Exploring the 2025 Subaru Crosstrek Trims
The 2025 Subaru Crosstrek is a versatile, adventure-ready compact SUV offering five distinct trims: Base, Premium, Sport, Limited, and Wilderness. Each trim caters to a unique set of needs, blending Subaru's signature performance, safety, and comfort features with varying levels of luxury and capability. Let's explore what each trim has to offer.
Base
The Base trim of the 2025 Subaru Crosstrek is powered by a 2.0-liter Subaru Boxer four-cylinder engine that delivers 152 horsepower and 145 pounds-feet of torque. Paired with a Lineartronic continuously variable transmission (CVT) and Symmetrical all-wheel drive, the Base trim achieves up to 34 mpg on the highway and 27 mpg in the city. It also includes X-Mode and SI-Drive for enhanced performance and can tow up to 1,500 pounds.
Inside, the Base trim offers cloth upholstery, manually adjustable front seats, and 60/40-split flat-folding rear seatbacks for flexible cargo options. Dual-zone automatic climate control keeps the cabin comfortable. At the same time, the Subaru Starlink dual 7-inch multimedia system provides connectivity through multi-touch gesture controls, Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, and Bluetooth audio streaming. The system is paired with a four-speaker sound system.
Regarding safety, Subaru's EyeSight driver-assist technology is included as standard. Features such as advanced adaptive cruise control with lane centering, pre-collision braking, lane departure and sway warning, lane keep assist, and automatic emergency braking are complemented by a high beam assist and a rear-vision camera.
Premium
Starting with the Premium trim, the Crosstrek is equipped with a more robust 2.5-liter Subaru Boxer four-cylinder engine that produces 182 horsepower and 178 pounds-feet of torque. This engine pairs with the same Lineartronic CVT but includes an eight-speed manual mode with paddle shifters for a more engaging driving experience.
The Premium trim builds on the Base trim's interior features with keyless access and push-button start, a folding rear seat armrest with dual cup holders, and a rear cargo tray. The infotainment system has been upgraded to an 11.6-inch touchscreen with wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. Audio is enhanced with a six-speaker sound system, and 4G LTE Wi-Fi capability is added.
Safety features mirror the Base trim but are expanded with Subaru Starlink Safety and Security. This suite includes automatic collision notification, SOS emergency assistance, enhanced roadside assistance, maintenance notifications, remote engine start with climate control (on Limited trim only), and more.
Sport
The Sport trim introduces distinctive 18-inch alloy wheels and Sport cloth upholstery with yellow accents. Heated front seats and a leather-wrapped steering wheel and shifter handle elevate the cabin’s comfort and style. A retractable and removable cargo-area cover adds practicality.
The Sport trim shares the Premium trim’s advanced infotainment system and six-speaker audio setup. It also retains the same comprehensive suite of safety and driver-assist technologies, making it an excellent choice for those seeking a balance of style and functionality.
Limited
The Limited trim adds a touch of sophistication with standard leather-trimmed seats featuring orange contrast stitching. A power driver’s seat and heated front seats enhance comfort, while the leather-wrapped steering wheel and shifter handle remain standard.
The infotainment system gains an optional built-in navigation function, and an available Harman Kardon premium audio system with 10 speakers provides a superior listening experience. Additional safety features include blind-spot detection, rear cross-traffic alert, and reverse automatic braking, offering peace of mind during every journey.
Wilderness
The Wilderness trim is the most rugged option, designed for off-road enthusiasts. It features a raised suspension with 9.3 inches of ground clearance, unique front and rear bumpers with integrated tow points, and extended lower cladding. With a maximum towing capacity of 3,500 pounds, it’s the most capable Crosstrek in the lineup.
LED fog lights, raised roof rails with a black finish, and anodized copper-finish accents enhance its adventurous appeal. The Wilderness trim includes heated front seats upholstered in StarTex water-repellent material. While a power driver's seat is optional, the infotainment system mirrors the Limited trim but excludes built-in navigation. The optional Harman Kardon audio system and advanced safety features remain available.
