2027 Subaru Crosstrek Hybrid: What's New, What's Changing, and What Stays the Same

The 2027 Subaru Crosstrek Hybrid gets a bit more choice this year: Subaru made the Sport a hybrid-only trim, so the Crosstrek Hybrid now comes two ways, as a Sport Hybrid and a Limited Hybrid. Both use Subaru's next-generation hybrid system, both come with standard Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive, and both return an EPA-estimated 36 mpg combined. If you want a fuel-efficient compact SUV that still goes where you need it, this guide covers exactly what is new on the Crosstrek Hybrid for 2027 and how to shop it at Kunes Subaru of Springfield.

Update type | Sport is now a hybrid trim; otherwise a carry-over. Powertrain | 2.5L SUBARU BOXER hybrid (194 combined horsepower) with a CVT. Drive | Standard Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive. Fuel economy | An EPA-estimated 36 mpg combined. Driving range | About 598 miles on a full tank. Trims | Sport Hybrid and Limited Hybrid. Starting price | $33,995 for the Sport Hybrid (plus $1,475 destination).

The headline for 2027 is that the Crosstrek Hybrid now comes in two trims instead of one. Subaru discontinued the gas-only Sport and made Sport a hybrid, so the Sport Hybrid joins the Limited Hybrid in the lineup. The Sport Hybrid ($33,995) includes an 11.6-inch Subaru Multimedia Plus touchscreen with navigation, a 12.3-inch full digital gauge cluster, and hybrid-exclusive 18-inch alloy wheels, so you get the hybrid system with a sportier, well-equipped setup at the lower hybrid price.

The Crosstrek Limited Hybrid, the top hybrid trim, gains a standard power moonroof for 2027, a nice upgrade for the trim that already adds leather-trimmed seating and more comfort features.

Sapphire Blue Pearl joins the palette for 2027, and it is offered only on hybrid models, so it is a quick way to signal that your Crosstrek is the efficient one.

The Crosstrek Hybrid pairs a 2.5-liter SUBARU BOXER four-cylinder with electric motors for a combined 194 horsepower and 199 lb.-ft. of torque, through a continuously variable transmission, with standard Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive. It is a self-charging hybrid, so you never plug it in; the gas engine and regenerative braking keep the battery charged as you drive. The payoff is an EPA-estimated 36 mpg combined and a driving range of about 598 miles on a tank, with the same all-weather traction Subaru is known for.

The practical change for 2027 is that the Sport is now a hybrid. If you were considering a gas Crosstrek Sport, that trim is gone, and the Sport badge now comes with the efficiency and extra power of the hybrid system. Outside of the new Sport Hybrid, the Limited Hybrid's standard moonroof, and the new color, the Crosstrek Hybrid carries over.

2027 Crosstrek Hybrid pricing (MSRP, before the $1,475 destination charge) is: Sport Hybrid | $33,995. Limited Hybrid | about $35,995. Pricing does not include taxes, title, license, or dealer fees; ask Kunes Subaru of Springfield for current numbers on a specific vehicle.

The heart of the Crosstrek Hybrid carries over. It still comes standard with Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive, still offers 8.7 inches of ground clearance for snow, gravel, and light trails, and still delivers the 194-horsepower hybrid system with its 36 mpg combined rating. Subaru EyeSight driver assistance remains standard, the cabin keeps its clean, practical layout, and the Crosstrek Hybrid continues as a five-seat compact SUV. Subaru's warranty coverage carries over, including longer coverage on the hybrid battery. The Crosstrek Hybrid remains a smart choice for drivers who want better fuel economy without giving up all-wheel drive or Subaru's go-anywhere character.

The Crosstrek comes as a gas model or a hybrid, and the decision comes down to efficiency versus price. The gas Crosstrek uses a 180-horsepower BOXER engine and offers the lowest price of entry, with the Wilderness adding the most off-road hardware. The Crosstrek Hybrid steps up to 194 horsepower and an EPA-estimated 36 mpg combined, with the same standard all-wheel drive. If you want the best fuel economy and a little more power, the Hybrid is worth the step up; if you want the lowest price or maximum trail capability, consider the gas lineup.

Because the 2027 Crosstrek Hybrid is largely a carry-over (with the new Sport Hybrid as the main addition), a leftover 2026 can make sense if the discount is right. Go with the 2027 specifically if you want the new, lower-priced Sport Hybrid trim, the Limited Hybrid's standard moonroof, or the new Sapphire Blue Pearl color. Either way, Kunes Subaru of Springfield will work through the numbers with you, with no pressure. We make it EASY!
