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

The 2027 Subaru Crosstrek is a carry-over year with one notable twist: the gas-only Sport trim is gone, and Sport is now offered only as a hybrid. The rest of the lineup holds steady, including a starting price that stays at $26,995 and standard Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive on every trim. If you already know the Crosstrek, this guide covers exactly what is different for 2027, how the gas and hybrid versions compare, and how to shop it today.

Update type | Carry-over year with targeted updates
Gas engine | 2.5L SUBARU BOXER four-cylinder (180 horsepower) with a CVT
Hybrid | 2.5L BOXER hybrid (194 combined horsepower); 36 mpg combined
Drive | Standard Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive on every trim
Seating | Five passengers
Ground clearance | 8.7 inches
Starting price | $26,995 for the Base (plus $1,475 destination)

The headline change for 2027 is that Subaru discontinued the gas-only Sport trim and now offers Sport exclusively as a hybrid. The Crosstrek Hybrid lineup includes the Sport Hybrid ($33,995) and the Limited Hybrid, both running Subaru's next-generation hybrid powertrain. If you were eyeing a Sport, it now comes with the efficiency and extra power of the hybrid system.

The Crosstrek Limited Hybrid adds a standard power moonroof for 2027, a nice upgrade on the top hybrid trim.

The palette gets new paint for 2027, including Sapphire Blue Pearl (offered only on hybrid models) and Tidepool Teal Pearl, which replaces Alpine Green.

Subaru held the Crosstrek's starting price at $26,995, the same as 2026, so you get the updated lineup without a base-price increase. The destination charge did rise slightly, from $1,420 to $1,475.

Outside of the Sport-goes-hybrid change, the new colors, and the Limited Hybrid's moonroof, the 2027 Crosstrek carries over its design, interior, and powertrains. If you are cross-shopping a leftover 2026 Crosstrek, the two years are very close, and the biggest reason to choose a 2027 is the hybrid Sport or the new colors.

2027 Crosstrek pricing (MSRP, before the $1,475 destination charge) includes:
Base | $26,995
Premium | $27,995
Limited | $32,995
Sport Hybrid | $33,995
Limited Hybrid | about $35,995
Pricing does not include taxes, title, license, or dealer fees; ask for current numbers on a specific vehicle

The heart of the Crosstrek carries over. Every trim still comes with standard Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive, which is a big reason the Crosstrek is a favorite in Wisconsin, Illinois, and Iowa. The gas models still use a 180-horsepower 2.5-liter BOXER engine with a Lineartronic CVT, and 8.7 inches of ground clearance keeps the Crosstrek ready for snow, gravel, and light trails. Subaru EyeSight driver assistance remains standard, and the rugged Wilderness trim continues for buyers who want the most off-road capability. Subaru's warranty coverage carries over as well (3 years or 36,000 miles basic and 5 years or 60,000 miles on the powertrain, with longer coverage on the hybrid battery).

The Crosstrek comes two ways for 2027. The gas models (Base, Premium, Limited, and Wilderness) use a 180-horsepower BOXER engine and offer the lowest price of entry, with the Wilderness adding the most off-road hardware. The hybrids (Sport Hybrid and Limited Hybrid) use Subaru's next-generation system for 194 combined horsepower and an EPA-estimated 36 mpg combined, with a driving range of about 598 miles on a tank. If you want the lowest price or maximum trail capability, go gas; if you want more power and better fuel economy with the same standard all-wheel drive, go hybrid.

Because 2027 is largely a carry-over, a leftover 2026 Crosstrek can make sense if the discount is right, since you give up very little. Go with the 2027 specifically if you want the Sport as a hybrid, the Limited Hybrid's standard moonroof, or one of the new colors like Sapphire Blue Pearl. Either way, we will work through the numbers with you, with no pressure. We make it EASY!
