About the Subaru Crosstrek
Last updated Dec 18, 2024Subaru’s new Crosstrek, set to replace the well-liked XV when it launches during April 2023, will kick off at $34,990 before on-road costs and come with a hybrid option further up the range.
Order books are now open, and will fill fast considering the outgoing Subaru XV attracted more than 100,000 Australian buyers over a decade on sale, and two generations.
The 2023 Subaru Crosstrek range again comprises five variants: three petrol-powered grades (now called 2.0L, 2.0R and 2.0S) and two hybrids (again called Hybrid L and Hybrid S).
As with all Subaru SUVs, the Crosstrek is unique in its size-segment by coming with all-wheel drive (AWD) as standard, giving it greater soft-road capability than most competitors.

How does the 2024 Subaru Crosstrek drive?
Our expert take on Subaru Crosstrek drivability.
Two Boxer flat-four engines are available, both using standard symmetrical AWD and a CVT with paddles, though neither are brimming with power.
The 2.0-litre petrol makes 115kW of power and 196Nm of torque and uses a claimed 7.2 litres of 91 RON fuel per 100km, whereas the e-Boxer 2.0-litre Hybrid with its very small battery and electric motor makes 110kW and 196Nm, and cuts fuel use to 6.5L/100km.
As with other e-Boxer models, the hybrid doesn’t get close to matching the fuel efficiency of Toyota’s ubiquitous hybrid system, but should still smooth out the stop/start system.
