Adventure Awaits with the Perfect Subaru Crosstrek Trim: Subaru Crosstrek Base vs. Subaru Crosstrek Sport vs. Subaru Crosstrek Wilderness
If you know anything about the Subaru lineup, you probably know about every model's legendary capability and convenience. From the compact crossover segment to three-row midsized options, there's a model that matches your SUV desires. Drivers who love efficient, power-capable, off-road warriors will get their pick of the litter when they visit Ciocca Subaru of Pleasantville. We're excited about every sedan and SUV in our lineup, including the reliable, compact Subaru Crosstrek, and we can't wait to show you what's waiting for you inside the newest model.
Narrowing down your Crosstrek selection might be a taller task, but we've got your back there, too. The popular Subaru Crosstrek model boasts several trim options, from the standard Base model to performance-styled Sport and off-road-ready Wilderness editions. We encourage you to work closely with our sales team to narrow the lineup to your preferred model. Once you've picked it out, you can start the best part of the car-buying experience - the first test drive! We look forward to helping you with our convenient trim breakdown below.

Why the Subaru Crosstrek Base?
We like to start our research of the Crosstrek lineup with the Base trim. The lineup makes it easy to stick with the familiar, offering a standard 2.0-liter BOXER® four-cylinder engine. The powertrain makes 152 horsepower and 145 pound-feet of torque and pairs nicely with the iconic Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive system and a Lineartronic® Continuously Variable Transmission. While the compact segment isn't known for its ability to tow, the Crosstrek Base still hauls up to 1,500 pounds of attached trailer weight to your next destination easily. When your adventures take you through slick terrain and rough roads, the X-MODE® feature provides precise control and handling, while Active Torque Vectoring makes cornering feel like nothing. With 8.7 inches of ground clearance, you can find your way over any obstacle!
The Subaru Crosstrek Base rounds out its impressive start with features like 17-inch aluminum-alloy wheels, the STARLINK® Multimedia entertainment system, and numerous safety features, including the EyeSight® Driver Assist Technology, LED Steering Responsive Headlights, and High Beam Assist. When you need help navigating the sometimes-busy roads around Pleasantville, the Subaru Crosstrek Base trim is the right model to start with.
Why the Subaru Crosstrek Sport?
If you want to add to the Base trim, the Sport offers the same features but upgrades in areas that can improve your morning commute. The lineup forgoes the standard 2.0-liter engine in favor of a 2.5-liter BOXER® engine, delivering 182 horsepower and 178 pound-feet of torque. The Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive is still the standard along with the CVT, but the latter features include an eight-speed manual mode with paddle shifters if you want to take more control over the cadence of your drive. The capability and convenience you get from the new Crosstrek Sport will add many miles of fun to your next getaway.
You can't upgrade trim levels and not expect to get improvements throughout the model lineup. New 18-inch aluminum alloy wheels come with a dark gray finish for a stylish look. The exterior showcases raised black-finish roof rails, LED fog lights, and gloss black-finish folding side mirrors. Inside, you'll enjoy a cozy style with Sport cloth upholstery featuring yellow accents and contrast stitching. Enjoy luxuries like heated front seats and a leather-wrapped steering wheel, or upgrade your time in the driver's seat with the 11.6-inch Subaru STARLINK® Multimedia Plus system and wireless smartphone integration. You won't want to miss out on the outstanding features of the Sport trim.


Certified Pre-Owned
Why the Subaru Crosstrek Wilderness?
The newest addition to the Subaru Crosstrek lineup announces its presence with style! The Wilderness trim offers a more rugged take on the compact crossover lineup, giving you the capability you need for the perfect adventure. The 2.5-liter engine remains the powertrain of choice, pairing with a lower final-drive ratio for improved low-speed climbing. The Wilderness also features Yokohama GEOLANDR® tires to help you manage mud, snow, and gravel more efficiently, especially considering the added help you get from enhanced X-MODE® dual-functioning capability for those tricky situations. The Wilderness trim is ready for anything with 9.3 inches of ground clearance and improved approach/departure angles, alongside a new front skid plate. And now you can bring along more, thanks to the 3,000-pound improved towing capacity.
Rugged performance deserves rugged style, and the Wilderness trim delivers. The lineup features a glare-reducing hood decal, Anodized Copper-finish accents, and hexagon-pattered LED fog lights, while newly-enhanced roof rails allow your SUV to hold up to 700 pounds of static weight. Keep your tent off the ground and stay dry when you camp for the night!
