The Crosstrek 2024 is finally here. Like Subaru’s small SUV, this vehicle has long been popular with consumers. And now, we have here in the US. There is one change that may be disappointing for some, but overall it seems like Subaru got it right. So what’s the deal with the 2024 Crosstrek?
What is the MSRP of the 2024 Subaru Crosstrek?
In terms of cost, the 2024 Crosstrek has an MSRP of around $26,000. Now it’s not yet available, but compared to , that’s about a $3k increase in price. This is probably due to the disappointing change I mentioned earlier.
with manual gearbox. You might be surprised, but even the 2023 Crosstrek might come with a six-speed manual. This is no longer the case for the third generation of this small SUV.
Undoubtedly, Crosstreks with the standard drivetrain probably made up a minority of sales. Most people don’t get a new SUV that requires you to row their gears, and that includes the Jeep Wrangler, too. Car enthusiasts may be sad that yet another stick shift has bitten the dust. But most of the market probably won’t notice.
The 2024 Crosstrek still has the same engine options
Like Subaru’s small SUV, there were rumors that it could perhaps get more horsepower. As it stands, that doesn’t appear to be the case. The standard engine is still a 2.0-liter engine with 152 horsepower.
For more horsepower, people can opt for a 2.5-liter engine that produces 182 horsepower. One of the biggest complaints about older Crosstrek SUVs is that they can feel underpowered. So getting that 182hp engine might be worth it to some.
While we’re still not getting as much power out of this vehicle, according to , Subaru has improved the AWD system. Also, the X-Mode system could offer more functionality. Like most Subaru models, the 2024 Crosstrek will come with standard AWD. And this has long been an advantage of opting for this Japanese car brand.
When will this small SUV be available?
It is expected to hit dealerships in the near future. But, with how popular Subaru’s small SUV is, it might be hard to find one. Couple the popularity with supply chain issues, it would be easy to see Subaru struggling to keep up with demand.
A precise date for the release of has not yet been established. And, as of publishing, you can’t order one. That said, we know more about the third generation Crosstrek than we did before. And on paper, it looks like it’s going to be a real winner.
