January 2023: Crosstrek pricing & features

The 2023 Subaru Crosstrek small SUV will arrive in Australia this April, with pre-orders now open.

While the small SUV is familiar to locals as the XV – and also in other markets, including Japan – it has been badged Crosstrek in North America since 2012, with Subaru deciding to take the name global for its third generation.

It features a significant boost in standard equipment, but this is accompanied by price rises of up to $3000, with the Crosstrek starting from $34,990 before on-road costs.

Under the skin, the Crosstrek retains the current XV’s Subaru Global Platform, but with a new design, slim full-LED headlights and WRX Sportswagon-like tail-lights.

Like the WRX sedan, the Crosstrek features angular plastic body cladding with vents behind the front wheels, while 10 exterior colours and 17-inch or 19-inch alloy wheels are available.

Inside, the new small SUV looks familiar to the current XV, but gains the same portrait-orientated 11.6-inch infotainment system found in the WRX and Outback, with wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, satellite navigation and touch-based climate controls.

This setup replaces the current 8-inch infotainment system and 6.3-inch multi-function display.

However, unlike the Japanese-market WRX sedan and Levorg wagon (known as WRX Sportswagon in Australia), the Crosstrek does not feature a 12.3-inch digital instrument cluster, with a small 4.2-inch instrument cluster display carrying over.

Engine, drivetrain, and fuel economy

Under the bonnet, the 2023 Subaru Crosstrek is powered by a carry-over 2.0-litre naturally-aspirated four-cylinder petrol engine.

The current ‘e-Boxer’ hybrid system, which features a 2.0-litre naturally-aspirated four-cylinder and an electric motor, also carries across without change.

As with the outgoing XV, the standard petrol outputs 115kW and 196Nm. It is matched with a continuously-variable automatic transmission (CVT).

Meanwhile, the e-Boxer hybrid version produces 110kW/196Nm, with a 12.3kW electric motor and a CVT automatic.

The hybrid shaves around 10 per cent from the 2.0-litre’s fuel efficiency figure, returning 6.5L/100km in the ADR 81/02 cycle. Both engines now meet the stricter Euro 6b emissions standard.

Safety

The 2023 Subaru Crosstrek has yet to be tested by ANCAP or Euro NCAP. The related previous XV received a five-star rating in 2017.

Nine airbags (dual front, side, curtain, far-side, and front passenger seat cushion) are fitted across the Crosstrek range.

2023 Subaru Crosstrek boot space

Warranty and servicing

As per the wider Subaru range, the Crosstrek is covered by the brand’s five-year/unlimited-kilometre warranty.
