2027 Subaru Crosstrek Price, Release Date & Trims – The 2027 Subaru Crosstrek is not a full redesign. It is a carryover of the third-generation compact SUV introduced for 2024, with a few trim, color, and equipment tweaks. For U.S. shoppers, the headline is pricing: Subaru is holding the base Manufacturer’s Suggested Retail Price (MSRP) at $26,995, the same as the 2026 model year.
That starting figure does not include destination and delivery. That fee is $1,475 in most states and $1,625 in Alaska, so a base 2027 Crosstrek lands at $28,470 before tax, title, registration, and options.
2027 Subaru Crosstrek Release Date
Subaru of America says the 2027 Crosstrek and Crosstrek Hybrid will be available at retailers nationwide later this fall (fall 2026). Edmunds lists the same window. Orders were already discussed as open when pricing was announced in July 2026.
Gas-powered models are assembled at Subaru of Indiana Automotive in Lafayette, Indiana. Hybrid models are assembled in Gunma, Japan.
2027 Subaru Crosstrek Price by Trim (USA)
Official MSRPs announced July 9, 2026, exclude destination:
| Trim | Powertrain | MSRP | Approx. with destination |
|---|---|---|---|
| Crosstrek (Base) | 2.5L gas | $26,995 | $28,470 |
| Premium | 2.5L gas | $27,995 | $29,470 |
| Limited | 2.5L gas | $32,995 | $34,470 |
| Wilderness | 2.5L gas | $33,795 | $35,270 |
| Sport Hybrid | Hybrid | $33,995 | $35,470 |
| Limited Hybrid | Hybrid | $35,995 | $37,470 |
The Limited Hybrid is the only trim with a clear MSRP increase versus 2026: +$1,000. Other listed MSRPs are unchanged. Destination rose $55 versus the prior $1,420 fee, which is why “out-the-door starting” figures look a bit higher even when Subaru says MSRP is flat.
Premium paint typically adds about $395 where offered. Options packages (moonroof, Harman Kardon, all-weather gear, power seat, etc.) can add $1,600–$2,300-plus depending on trim.
What’s New for the 2027 Crosstrek?
This is a minor model-year update, not a new generation. Key changes:
- Gas-only Sport is gone. Sport exists only as Sport Hybrid.
- Limited Hybrid now includes a standard power moonroof.
- New/updated colors: Tidepool Teal Pearl replaces Alpine Green; Ignition Red replaces Pure Red and Lithium Red Pearl on Limited Hybrid; Sapphire Blue Pearl is hybrid-only; Daybreak Blue Pearl is listed in Subaru spec materials.
- Same core hardware: 2.5-liter BOXER, Lineartronic CVT, Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive, EyeSight.
2027 Crosstrek Specs: Engines, MPG, and Capability
Gasoline (Base, Premium, Limited, Wilderness)
- 2.5-liter horizontally opposed four-cylinder
- 180 hp at 5,800 rpm and 178 lb-ft at 3,700 rpm
- Lineartronic CVT with 8-speed manual mode
- Regular 87-octane fuel
- Typical EPA figures carried over from recent model years: about 26 city / 33 highway / 29 combined (Wilderness is lower: about 24/29/26)
Hybrid (Sport Hybrid, Limited Hybrid)
- Series-parallel hybrid: 2.5-liter BOXER plus two electric motors
- 194 hp combined
- Subaru-stated EPA range of about 598 miles on a tank
- About 36 mpg city / 36 highway / 36 combined in recent EPA ratings for this powertrain
- Same 8.7 inches of ground clearance as non-Wilderness gas models
Off-road and utility
- Standard ground clearance: 8.7 inches
- Wilderness: 9.3 inches, unique 17-inch wheels, StarTex-style rugged interior, extra cladding
- Dual-function X-MODE and Hill Descent Control on relevant trims
- Cargo with seats up is in the high-teens to about 19.9 cubic feet class; roof rails have modest dynamic load ratings (about 165–176 lbs dynamic, 700 lbs static on official spec sheets)
The Crosstrek remains one of the more trail-capable vehicles in the subcompact/compact crossover class, which is why it is often compared with the Honda HR-V, Mazda CX-30, Toyota Corolla Cross, and Hyundai Kona rather than larger Forester shoppers.
2027 Crosstrek Trim Guide: What You Get
Base ($26,995)
Dual 7-inch multimedia, smartphone connectivity, Bluetooth, rear camera, cloth seats, keyless access with push-button start, adaptive LED headlights, 17-inch wheels, EyeSight (adaptive cruise, automatic emergency braking, lane-keep functions). The 2.5-liter is now the standard engine on the entry model.
Premium ($27,995)
11.6-inch Multimedia Plus, six speakers, SiriusXM 360L trial, wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. A common value pick because the screen and convenience jump is large for $1,000. Packages can add blind-spot detection, all-weather features, power driver seat, and moonroof.
Limited ($32,995)
More comfort and driver-assist content (leather-appointed cabin on typical Limited specs, extra safety options). Moonroof/audio packages remain available.
Wilderness ($33,795)
The adventure trim: extra ground clearance, unique styling, all-weather-oriented interior, off-road-leaning tires/wheels. Still the gas 180-hp 2.5-liter, not a hybrid.
Sport Hybrid ($33,995)
Hybrid powertrain, exclusive 18-inch wheels, 11.6-inch screen with navigation, 12.3-inch digital cluster, Sport cloth with yellow stitching, plus hybrid-typical safety extras such as blind-spot monitoring.
Limited Hybrid ($35,995)
Top hybrid: Harman Kardon, power moonroof now standard, plus Limited-level comfort. This is the trim Subaru raised by $1,000.
Should You Buy a 2027 Crosstrek in the USA?
Good fit if you want: standard AWD, winter/snow capability, EyeSight as standard, a simple ownership story, and a starting price that did not jump with the rest of the market.
Think twice if you want: a quiet highway cabin, a huge cargo hold, or cutting-edge infotainment. Reviews still call the interior utilitarian and note road noise and modest cargo space.
The Crosstrek was named the most dependable small SUV in J.D. Power’s 2026 U.S. Vehicle Dependability Study and has appeared on Consumer Reports top-picks lists with the Forester, which matters for resale and long-term cost of ownership.
Value notes for U.S. buyers
- Compare Premium gas vs Sport Hybrid. The hybrid is several thousand dollars more but can return roughly 36 mpg combined versus ~29.
- Wilderness is the capability play, not the MPG play.
- Always add destination, tax, and local dealer fees. Subaru’s published MSRP is the vehicle price only.
- 2027 is not the year of a redesign. If you are waiting for a next-generation body, that is later in the cycle; 2027 is a refined current-gen car arriving this fall.
