Subaru Preps to Release All-New 2024 Crosstrek

There is a new Crosstrek on the way. Subaru of America today announced that the all-new 2024 Crosstrek will make its debut at the 2023 Chicago Auto Show on February 9. The Crosstrek is not only the cheapest new Subaru you can buy, but also the SUV. Any changes to this template must be made carefully.

What will be the news of the Subaru Crosstrek 2024?

The new Crosstrek will be a key vehicle for Subaru. For many, the Crosstrek is their gateway to Subaru, the one that gets people addicted to Subaru. Details are scarce, so far, about the new . However, Subaru says the new Crosstrek will have more power (thankfully), new technology and more safety features.

, it seems harder. The new SUV gets extra body cladding up front that mirrors the updated Outback. Inside, the cabin is expected to have a new vertical touchscreen when the car goes on sale in late 2023 in the U.S.

Let’s hope, however, that the new one retains one feature enthusiasts love: the manual gearbox. The Outback is one of a dwindling number of cars that offer this old-school feature. We’d also like to see Subaru’s new plug-in hybrid drive added to the Crosstrek.

The Crosstrek is the best-selling Subaru

As we said, the Crosstrek outshines all other Subarus by far. A large part of the reason is because the Subaru Crosstrek is the . It starts at $23,645 and at that price the Crosstrek is well-appointed and comes with standard all-wheel drive and a frugal 2.0-liter four-cylinder. The Crosstrek also comes with Subaru’s STARLINK app, EyeSight driver assistance technology, as well as standard Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. Enter and the hybrid coating.

Upgrade to the Limited, which starts at $29,495, and you get a host of luxe features like leather-wrapped upholstery, 18-inch wheels, more safety aids, and power heated seats. In the Limited trim you also get a bigger engine. But it might be one of the most luxurious SUVs you can find for under $30,000. The hybrid, however, commands a premium at $36,845

We won’t exaggerate when we say that the CrossTrek is a Jeep Rubicon. But its raised suspension with 8.7 inches of ground clearance definitely helps it run some trails. Plus, all Subaru SUVs come standard with all-wheel drive, which can help pull you out of the mud. There’s no Wilderness finish, like on the , but for most soft-road situations, the Crosstrek is plenty.

You can order a manual transmission, for now

The other available transmission is a CVT, which in the Subaru is stepless and can be a bit humming on the highway as it digs into the right ratio. Regardless, it makes it one of the few SUVs still offered with a manual transmission today. The Base and Premium versions can be ordered with a six-speed gearbox. Of course with manuals, Subaru does away with the EyeSight software because it has to control the transmission to work properly. This is one of the reasons we fear the manual will disappear from the new Crosstrek.
