  • No More Compromise: You no longer have to upgrade to a higher trim to get the passing power you need for I-68.

  • Adventure-Ready: With 178 lb-ft of torque standard, the Crosstrek feels more responsive than ever, whether you're merging into traffic or climbing toward Somerset.

  • Efficient Performance: Even with the larger engine, the 2026 Crosstrek maintains competitive fuel economy, so you can spend more time exploring and less at the pump.
