2027 Subaru Crosstrek Release Date & Price Guide – The 2027 Subaru Crosstrek is a lightly updated carryover of the third-generation model (introduced for 2024). Subaru of America confirmed pricing and details in July 2026, with the vehicle arriving at U.S. dealerships later this fall.
2027 Subaru Crosstrek Release Date
Subaru states the 2027 Crosstrek (including Hybrid versions) will be available at retailers nationwide later this fall. Multiple automotive sources, including Edmunds, CarsDirect, Car and Driver, and Kelley Blue Book, list the on-sale timing as Fall 2026.
Orders are already open at many dealers. Production of non-hybrid models continues at Subaru of Indiana Automotive in Lafayette, Indiana, while Hybrid versions are built in Gunma, Japan.
What’s New for the 2027 Model Year?
Changes are modest:
- The gas-only Sport trim has been discontinued. The Sport name is now exclusive to the Hybrid powertrain.
- New exterior colors include Tidepool Teal Pearl (replacing Alpine Green) and Ignition Red (replacing Pure Red and Lithium Red Pearl on the Limited Hybrid). Sapphire Blue Pearl is now hybrid-only. Daybreak Blue Pearl is also available.
- The Limited Hybrid gains a standard power moonroof (contributing to its $1,000 price increase).
- Other features, styling, and the overall package remain largely carryover from 2026.

Should You Wait for the 2027 Crosstrek?
For U.S. buyers seeking an affordable, capable subcompact crossover with standard AWD, strong safety scores, and proven reliability, the 2027 model offers continuity and value. Pricing stability is a plus in the current market. Those wanting a full redesign will need to wait—reports point to a more significant update around the 2029 model year for the Hybrid in particular.
