What trim levels and configurations are available for the 2024 Subaru Crosstrek

The 2024 Subaru Crosstrek comes in five main trim levels: Base, Premium, Sport, Limited, and Sport Utility. Each trim builds on the previous one with additional standard features, and most trims offer optional packages that let you add specific capabilities without moving to the next full trim level. The Base model starts with all-wheel drive, a 2.0-liter engine, and a six-speed manual or continuously variable transmission (CVT), while higher trims add creature comforts, safety technology, and performance upgrades.

Beyond the five trim levels, Subaru offers several option packages and standalone features that change what you get. The most significant are the EyeSight Driver information Technology package (which adds adaptive cruise control and pre-collision warnings), the All-Weather package (heated seats and steering wheel), and the Panoramic Moonroof. Some features are exclusive to certain trims—for example, the Limited trim is the only one that comes standard with leather upholstery—while others can be added across multiple trims.

  • The Base and Premium trims come with a six-speed manual transmission as standard, while CVT is available on all trims and standard on Sport and above.
  • The Limited trim is the only one with leather seats as standard; other trims use cloth or offer leather as an option.

Base and Premium trim differences

The Base trim is the entry point and includes a 2.0-liter naturally aspirated engine producing 152 horsepower, a six-speed manual transmission (CVT available), all-wheel drive, a 6.3-inch touchscreen infotainment system, Bluetooth connectivity, and a backup camera. It has cloth upholstery, manual windows and locks, and a basic audio system. Safety features include ABS, stability control, and hill start information, but no advanced driver-information systems.

The Premium trim adds heated front seats, a power driver's seat, automatic headlights, a larger 7-inch touchscreen, Apple CarPlay and Android Auto integration, and a six-speaker audio upgrade. It also introduces the option to add the EyeSight package, which the Base trim cannot receive. The Premium sits roughly $2,000 to $2,500 above the Base in price, depending on transmission choice and current market conditions.

Sport and Limited trim capabilities

The Sport trim comes standard with the CVT transmission and adds 18-inch alloy wheels (versus 17-inch on Base and Premium), a sport-tuned suspension, a rear spoiler, and unique exterior styling. Inside, it includes the 7-inch touchscreen, Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, and heated front seats. The Sport trim is the first to come with the EyeSight package as standard, which means you get adaptive cruise control, pre-collision system, and lane-keep information without paying extra.

The Limited trim is positioned as the luxury option and includes leather upholstery, a power moonroof, a power driver's seat with lumbar support, heated rear seats, dual-zone automatic climate control, and a 7-inch touchscreen with navigation. It also comes standard with EyeSight and adds features like automatic wipers and a blind-spot monitor. The Limited is typically $3,000 to $4,000 more than the Sport trim.

Sport Utility trim and exclusive features

The Sport Utility trim (sometimes called the Sport Utility Package when added to the Sport trim) emphasizes off-road capability and rugged styling. It includes all-terrain tires, a raised suspension, skid plates, and unique exterior trim. This configuration appeals to buyers who want a more adventure-focused appearance and slightly enhanced ground clearance, though the Crosstrek's off-road capability remains modest compared to true SUVs.

The Sport Utility trim comes with the same powertrain and interior features as the Sport trim but adds the visual and protective upgrades. It is priced between the Sport and Limited trims and can be ordered with most of the same optional packages, including the panoramic moonroof and all-weather comfort features.

Optional packages and standalone features

The EyeSight Driver information Technology package is available on Base and Premium trims and standard on Sport, Limited, and Sport Utility. It includes adaptive cruise control, pre-collision system with automatic emergency braking, lane-keep information, and lane-departure warning. This package is one of the most popular upgrades because it significantly improves safety and convenience on highway driving.

The All-Weather package adds heated front seats, a heated steering wheel, and heated windshield wipers. It is available on most trims and costs between $500 and $700. The Panoramic Moonroof is a standalone option that adds a large glass roof panel and costs roughly $1,200 to $1,500 depending on trim. Navigation can be added to the infotainment system on trims that do not include it standard, typically for $500 to $800.

Engine and transmission options across configurations

All 2024 Crosstrek models use the same 2.0-liter naturally aspirated four-cylinder engine, which produces 152 horsepower and 145 pound-feet of torque. The transmission choice varies by trim: the Base and Premium trims offer a six-speed manual as standard with CVT as an option, while the Sport, Limited, and Sport Utility trims come standard with the CVT. The manual transmission is not available on Sport and above.

The CVT provides smoother acceleration and better fuel economy in real-world driving, while the manual appeals to drivers who prefer direct control. Fuel economy for the 2024 Crosstrek ranges from approximately 23 to 26 mpg city and 30 to 33 mpg highway, depending on transmission and driving conditions. All configurations include all-wheel drive with Subaru's symmetrical all-wheel-drive system, which distributes power to all four wheels continuously.

Interior and exterior styling by trim

The Base and Premium trims share a straightforward interior design with cloth upholstery and a horizontal dashboard layout. The Sport trim introduces a more aggressive exterior with a rear spoiler, unique bumper design, and 18-inch wheels, while the interior remains similar to Premium. The Limited elevates the cabin with leather seats, a leather-wrapped steering wheel, and more soft-touch materials on the dashboard and door panels.

Exterior colors available across all trims include Magnetite Gray Metallic, Autumn Green Metallic, Abyss Blue Pearl, Crystal White Pearl, and Venetian Red Pearl. The Sport Utility trim adds matte black trim pieces, all-terrain tires, and a more rugged overall appearance. Roof rails come standard on all trims and support roof racks for cargo carrying.
