The latest Subaru Crosstrek model is just around the corner, arriving this fall at Great Lakes Subaru in Findlay, Ohio. This versatile compact SUV is ready to elevate your daily drives and weekend getaways with its unique blend of capability, comfort, and advanced technology. Whether you're commuting around Findlay, OH, or embarking on that end-of-summer road trip, the 2026 Crosstrek delivers the performance and features to make every journey more enjoyable.
What's New for 2026?
For 2026, the Crosstrek lineup sees its most notable update under the hood. Subaru has now equipped every trim with the 2.5-liter four-cylinder engine that was previously limited to the higher models. Delivering 180 horsepower, this engine replaces the older 2.0-liter unit, giving all Crosstrek models a stronger, more capable baseline for commuting and weekend adventures alike. Comfort also takes a step forward, as both the Limited and Wilderness trims now feature a heated steering wheel as standard—an especially welcome addition during chilly Bloomington mornings.
Another significant development is the introduction of the all-new Subaru Crosstrek Hybrid. This new variant pairs a 2.5-liter Atkinson/Miller-cycle Subaru BOXER® engine with dual electric motors, blending efficiency with added power. The result is 194 horsepower and 199 pound-feet of torque, offering drivers a greener option without sacrificing capability.
Performance
Every 2026 Subaru Crosstrek comes standard with a capable 2.5L four-cylinder SUBARU BOXER engine producing 180 horsepower and 176 pound-feet of torque. This engine is paired with a Lineartronic Continuously Variable Transmission (CVT) for smooth power delivery and optimized efficiency.
The Crosstrek is renowned for its standard Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive system, which enables surefooted handling in a variety of conditions, from rainy commutes in Fostoria to snowy adventures outside the city. Every Crosstrek also includes Subaru X-MODE, an advanced traction system that automatically configures the AWD system, transmission, and other components to maximize grip on slippery or loose surfaces and steep inclines.
If you're looking to venture further off the beaten path, check out the Subaru Crosstrek Wilderness. This rugged trim level takes the SUV's trail-tackling prowess to new heights with all-terrain tires, elevated ground clearance, unique front and rear bumpers, and protective body cladding.
Cabin Comfort and Cargo Space
Whether you're just driving across town in Tiffin or taking a weekend road trip, the 2026 Subaru Crosstrek provides a comfortable environment for everyone on board. Inside, you'll find a spacious and refined cabin with seating for up to five passengers. The interior features quality materials, standard dual-zone automatic climate control, and available amenities like leatherette upholstery, heated front seats, a power moonroof, and more.
Behind the rear seats, the Crosstrek offers up to 21 cubic feet of cargo space for your groceries, gear, or luggage. If you need to haul larger items, you can fold the 60/40-split rear seatbacks to reveal 54.7 cubic feet. Additionally, the crossover's wide rear liftgate opening and low load floor make it easy to load and unload cargo of all sizes.
Tech and Safety
The 2026 Crosstrek offers a range of cutting-edge tech features to keep you connected, entertained, and safe on the go. The STARLINK Multimedia system features a vibrant touchscreen display, seamless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto smartphone integration, Bluetooth hands-free calling and audio streaming, and available built-in navigation.
