2026 Subaru Crosstrek · Trim vs trim
2026 Subaru Crosstrek Base vs Premium: what's the difference?
The Premium costs $1,000 more. It starts at $27,995, and the Base at $26,995. The Premium changes the wheels, touchscreen and audio.
Our Crosstrek data has all seven US 2026 , including both conventional and gas-only Wilderness, plus factory OP 14, 32, 37 and 23. It doesn't have paint and interior colors, retailer or port , finance incentives, and any 2027 model yet, so something missing from this page may still be offered.
