Subaru Holds the 2027 Crosstrek's Starting Price at $26,995

Subaru says the base Crosstrek carries over unchanged from the previous model year, with a trim ladder topping out at the $35,995 Limited Hybrid and the gas-only Sport trim discontinued.


CAMDEN, N.J. - Subaru said the 2027 Crosstrek will start at $26,995, unchanged from the previous model year.

"We're proud to offer the 2027 Subaru Crosstrek at the same $26,995 MSRP starting price as last year," Jeff Walters, president and chief operating officer of Subaru of America, said in a statement.

The crossover is available in Base, Premium, Limited, Wilderness, Sport Hybrid and Limited Hybrid trim levels, the company said. The Premium starts at $27,995, the Limited at $32,995, the Wilderness at $33,795, the Sport Hybrid at $33,995 and the Limited Hybrid at $35,995, according to Subaru. All prices exclude a $1,475 destination and delivery charge, which Subaru said may vary in some states and is $1,625 in Alaska.

On the Base, Premium, Limited and Wilderness, a 2.5-liter Subaru Boxer engine makes 180 horsepower and 178 pound-feet of torque, the company said. The Sport Hybrid and Limited Hybrid use a series-parallel hybrid powertrain that produces 194 horsepower combined and an EPA-estimated range of 598 miles on a single tank, according to Subaru.

The gas-only Sport trim has been discontinued, and the Sport is now offered only on the Crosstrek Hybrid, Subaru said.

For 2027, Ignition Red replaces Pure Red and Lithium Red Pearl on the Limited Hybrid, and Tidepool Teal Pearl premium paint replaces Alpine Green, the company said. The 2027 Crosstrek will be available at retailers nationwide later this fall.

Editorial disclosure: Subaru couriered to Drive Observer a Wilderness-spec folding StarTex camp table with a working X-MODE dial set into its center as a lazy Susan, 8.7 inches of 'ground clearance' stamped down one leg, packed with two enamel mugs in the retired Alpine Green and a card inviting the desk to 'set up anywhere.'
