The Crosstrek is Subaru's second-bestselling model, behind only the size-up Forester. And for the 2027 model year, Subaru isn't raising the price of its popular subcompact SUV, though it will no longer offer the Sport trim level with a 180-hp nonhybrid powertrain. Still, the base-level Crosstrek once again starts at $28,470, the off-road-optimized Wilderness opens at $35,270, and the top-of-the-line Limited Hybrid has an initial ask of $37,470.

While the gas-only Crosstrek Sport—which last year started at $32,075—is dead, you can still get it with the thriftier and more powerful 197-hp hybrid powertrain. However, that version starts at $35,470, so you'll have to hand over an extra $3395. That gets you the same cloth seats with yellow accent stitching, a leather-wrapped steering wheel and shift knob, and faux carbon-fiber interior trim. Although you'll get fewer yellow exterior trim pieces, you will get a fully digital gauge cluster, a power-adjustable driver's seat with 10 adjustments, a retractable cargo cover, and a wireless charging pad.

The rest of the changes to the Crosstrek lineup are very minor. The Limited Hybrid now comes standard with a power sunroof. Subaru also now offers a Sapphire Blue Pearl paint, but it's only available on hybrid models. Meanwhile, Ignition Red replaces Pure Red and Lithium Red Pearl (hybrids only); Tidepool Teal Pearl replaces Alpine Green on all models. The 2027 Subaru Crosstrek will reach dealerships sometime this fall.
➡️ Skip the lot. Let Car and Driver help you find your next car.Eric Stafford’s automobile addiction began before he could walk, and it has fueled his passion to write news, reviews, and more for Car and Driver since 2016. His aspiration growing up was to become a millionaire with a Jay Leno–like car collection. Apparently, getting rich is harder than social-media influencers make it seem, so he avoided financial success entirely to become an automotive journalist and drive new cars for a living. After earning a journalism degree at Central Michigan University and working at a daily newspaper, the years of basically burning money on failed project cars and lemon-flavored jalopies finally paid off when Car and Driver hired him. His garage currently includes a 2010 Acura RDX, a manual '97 Chevy Camaro Z/28, and a '90 Honda CRX Si.
