The big news for 2026 is that the robust 2.5-liter Boxer engine is now standard on every Crosstrek model, providing a performance boost across the entire range. Additionally, drivers choosing the Wilderness or Limited trims will now enjoy the added comfort of a standard heated steering wheel.
What Are the 2026 Crosstrek Trims & Features?
The 2026 Crosstrek is available in five distinct tiers: Base, Premium, Sport, Limited, and Wilderness.
- Base: This entry-level trim is surprisingly well-equipped, featuring the dual 7.0-inch Starlink Multimedia touchscreens, dual-zone climate control, and a USB-A connection.
- Premium: This trim steps up the tech with a massive 11.6-inch HD touchscreen that supports wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. It also adds the convenience of push-button start, keyless entry, and extra USB ports.
- Sport: Designed for a bolder look, the Sport features 18-inch Dark Gray wheels and an interior accented with yellow contrast stitching. Comfort is also prioritized with standard heated front seats and a wireless charging pad.

- Wilderness: Built for the trail, this trim boasts increased ground clearance via a raised suspension, all-terrain tires, and durable, water-resistant StarTex interior surfaces.
