Performance

All 2026 Crosstrek models are powered by the 180-horsepower 2.5-liter Subaru Boxer engine with 178 pound-feet of torque. It is connected to the Lineartronic continuously variable transmission, sending power to all four wheels through the Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive system. To optimize traction, the 2026 Crosstrek offers the available X-Mode. 

Coming in with 8.7 inches of ground clearance, this vehicle has your back, whether working through a downpour, off-roading on your favorite trail, or trekking through some deep snow.
