Engineered for performance, durability and versatility

There’s legendary engineering at the core of the 2027 Subaru Crosstrek. The sheer strength of the Subaru Global Platform. The incredible agility and all-road/all-weather capability of Subaru Symmetrical Full-Time AWD. A low centre of gravity, high ground clearance and long-travel suspension system designed to tackle all roads. The resolute performance and efficiency of the available SUBARU BOXER® engines. This core technology gives the Crosstrek superior handling, genuine adventure-ready capability and a level of confidence behind the wheel that is unrivalled in this class of vehicle. The Crosstrek BOXER Hybrid offers a greener and more fuel-efficient option while retaining all of the other Crosstrek characteristics.

The world-famous SUBARU BOXER® engine

The 2027 Subaru Crosstrek is equipped with the legendary direct-injection SUBARU BOXER® engine. The naturally aspirated 2.5L 4-cylinder engine also feature advanced technologies such as Dual Active Valve Control and the latest weight-saving measures. These factors combine to create increased efficiency, reduced emissions, improved acceleration and heightened driver engagement. It is also linked to the Lineartronic CVT and further governed by the SI-DRIVE® engine management system with its eco-friendly Intelligent (I) and more responsive Sport (S) mode. The Hybrid Onyx and Hybrid Limited trims get a slightly more powerful naturally aspirated 2.5L 4-cylinder SUBARU BOXER engine and Hybrid Lineartronic CVT that helps achieve better fuel efficiency.

Lineartronic® CVT + Symmetrical AWD

All versions of the Crosstrek come standard with a Lineartronic® CVT (Continuously Variable Transmission), a technologically advanced transmission that incorporates lightweight materials, a wide range of gear ratios and Auto Stepped Speed Control, which triggers shifts like a traditional automatic transmission. These features combine to create superior response, driveability, quietness and fuel efficiency. The CVT is linked to a multi-plate transfer clutch version of Subaru Symmetrical Full-Time AWD that offers predictable handling and shifts torque to the rear wheels under hard acceleration or in low-traction conditions. All versions of the CVT come equipped with Auto Vehicle Hold, while some trim levels also feature paddle shifters with an 8-speed manual mode.

X-MODE®

The Convenience and Touring trim levels of the 2027 Crosstrek are equipped with standard X-MODE®, which makes it easier to tackle trickier driving conditions. With the push of a button, the system assumes control of the engine, transmission, AWD system, brakes and other critical components to help the driver navigate obstacles such as steep inclines with greater confidence and increased safety. The Onyx, Hybrid Onyx, Limited and Hybrid Limited trim levels come equipped with dual-function version of X-MODE®, which lets the driver select either the snow/dirt setting or a deep snow/mud setting to gain even more control over the conditions.

Hill Descent Control maintains a controlled speed when driving downhill

Hill Descent Control

When either version of the X-MODE® system is activated, Hill Descent Control automatically maintains a constant speed when driving down steep declines. With this feature, the driver can focus exclusively on navigating the road ahead, confident that all the braking and speed control requirements are covered.

Stronger chassis, increased responsiveness

The 2027 Crosstrek rides on a lightweight, ultra-rigid chassis that helps create a smooth ride and unsurpassed capability over rough roads. This adventure-ready performer features a tight turning circle, low centre of gravity, wide track and long-travel fully independent suspension system, all of which make both cross-town and cross-country drives equally appealing. Drivers will appreciate the precise steering, superior handling and supreme comfort of this popular subcompact SUV, which has many of the benefits of driving a much larger vehicle without the footprint.

 
Subaru Global Platform with high-strength reinforcement zones

Subaru Global Platform

The 2027 Crosstrek is built on a revised version of Subaru Global Platform that absorbs approximately 40% more crash energy than the pre-SGP generation of Crosstrek. The design utilizes high-tensile material throughout, a strengthened structure at the sides and back, and reinforced joints to create an incredibly robust and uniform safety cell. This ultra-strong platform also reduces twisting forces on the frame, as well as vibration and resonance throughout the body, steering, floor and seats. The Subaru Global Platform, together with a low centre of gravity and the fully independent suspension system, also sets the stage for a highly responsive and precise driving experience with improved straight-line stability.

Front MacPherson strut suspension assembly with coil spring and stabilizer bar

Front Suspension

The world-famous MacPherson® strut-type front suspension system generates superior stability, response and driver feedback. For the Crosstrek, an additional k-shaped cross-member brace usually found on high-performance cars and other refinements further reduce lateral flex and vibration. In addition, when paired with the 220 mm of ground clearance, this suspension system also gives the Crosstrek excellent capability over rough roads, so it’s the perfect suspension design for adventures in and out of the city.

Rear double wishbone suspension assembly with coil spring and stabilizer bar

Rear Suspension

This double-wishbone rear suspension system is engineered to reduce noise and vibration, while increasing control and stability. A rear stabilizer bar is used to create a smooth ride and a truly stable feeling, especially in the corners. The stabilizer bar is mounted to the body instead of through rubber bushings, which helps slash body roll, creating an even more composed driving experience.
