How Do the 2027 Subaru Crosstrek Trim Levels Compare?

The 2027 Subaru Crosstrek lineup includes six distinct trims: Base, Premium, Limited, Wilderness, Sport Hybrid, and Limited Hybrid. Every non-hybrid model features a 2.5L Subaru BOXER® engine delivering 180 hp alongside standard Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive. Selecting the right trim involves weighing individual needs for comfort, specialized off-road performance, or electrified efficiency.

For everyday commuting, the Base trim delivers foundational capability with an entry pricing structure that holds steady from the previous model year. Upgrading to the Premium trim adds popular convenience items like an upgraded touchscreen display, while available factory options introduce key active driver-assistance systems. The Limited trim brings luxury touches such as leather-trimmed seating, while the Wilderness trim caters to off-road enthusiasts with an elevated ride height and increased towing capacity.

Efficiency-minded buyers can look to the newly streamlined hybrid offerings. For 2027, the Sport designation becomes exclusively hybrid, with the Sport Hybrid producing 194 combined horsepower, compared with 180 horsepower in the gasoline models. The Limited Hybrid combines the hybrid powertrain’s higher fuel efficiency with premium cabin amenities like a standard power moonroof.

What Trim Levels and Powertrains Are Offered on the 2027 Subaru Crosstrek?

The 2027 Subaru Crosstrek features two powertrain options across six trims, catering to a wide range of drivers. All conventional gas models utilize a 2.5L SUBARU BOXER® engine rated at 180 hp and 178 lb-ft of torque, while the Sport Hybrid and Limited Hybrid combine a 2.5-liter SUBARU BOXER® engine with electric motors and a lithium-ion battery to produce 194 combined horsepower.

Every 2027 Crosstrek equips a Lineartronic CVT and Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive as standard equipment. With the gas-only Sport trim discontinued, the Sport Hybrid now serves as the exclusive entry point for those seeking sport-themed aesthetics alongside superior power and efficiency.

The 2027 Crosstrek lineup offers a variety of trims to suit different driving needs:

• Base: 2.5L engine, 180 hp, standard all-wheel drive, dual 7.0-inch touchscreens
• Premium: 2.5L engine, 180 hp, raised roof rails, Subaru 11.6-inch Multimedia Plus System

This structured progression gives buyers flexibility whether shopping for a brand-new subcompact crossover or evaluating pre-owned inventory options on our lot. Each trim fulfills a specific role, ensuring every driver can find a setup that fits their daily route and weekend lifestyle.

What Options Packages and Features Are Available on the Crosstrek Premium?

The 2027 Subaru Crosstrek Premium offers available factory equipment including Blind-Spot Detection with Lane Change Assist, Rear Cross-Traffic Alert, heated front seats, heated side mirrors, a windshield wiper de-icer, and a power moonroof. Exact package combinations should be confirmed on the individual vehicle. The Premium builds on the Base with additional infotainment, convenience, and available safety features.

On its own, the Premium trim builds significantly upon the Base trim’s foundational feature set. Key standard upgrades on the Premium model include:

• The Subaru 11.6-inch Multimedia Plus System with high-resolution touchscreen
• Wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto integration
• Raised roof rails for mounting cargo baskets or ski racks
• Keyless Access with Push-Button Start
• 17-inch dark gray alloy wheels with machine finish

Available cold-weather equipment adds useful features for winter driving. Heated front seats provide additional occupant comfort, heated side mirrors can help improve visibility, and the windshield wiper de-icer is designed to help reduce ice buildup around the wiper area.

Safety-conscious buyers also benefit from the package’s radar-based blind-spot monitoring, which alerts the driver to vehicles hiding in adjacent lanes or approaching from the side when backing out of parking spaces. Drivers planning to trade in their current vehicle can easily value your trade-in online to see how upgrading to an optioned Premium model fits their budget.

What Makes the 2027 Subaru Crosstrek Wilderness Unique for Towing and Off-Roading?

The 2027 Subaru Crosstrek Wilderness is engineered for enhanced off-road capability and greater towing capacity, featuring a 3,500-pound maximum towing capacity, 9.3 inches of ground clearance, and a revised final drive ratio. The Wilderness offers more than double the 1,500-pound towing capacity found on standard Crosstrek models.

To support its off-road mission, Subaru equips the Wilderness trim with mechanical and structural enhancements designed for demanding trails:

• Raised off-road suspension providing 9.3 inches of ground clearance
• 17-inch matte-black finish alloy wheels wrapped in Yokohama GEOLANDAR® all-terrain tires
• Dual-function X-MODE® with Snow/Dirt and Deep Snow/Mud settings
• An auxiliary transmission oil cooler that helps support the 3,500-pound maximum towing capacity
• Water-repellent StarTex® upholstery designed for durability and easy cleanup
• Protective body cladding and Wilderness-specific front and rear bumper designs engineered to improve trail clearance

The elevated ride height and Wilderness-specific exterior design provide additional clearance for uneven terrain. On back roads and gravel routes around Mountain City, features such as 9.3 inches of ground clearance, all-terrain tires, and dual-function X-MODE® can provide additional capability for rough roads and unpaved terrain.

Inside the cabin, yellow contrast stitching helps distinguish the Wilderness from other Crosstrek trims. The Wilderness also features additional roof-rail tie-down points, and Subaru rates its roof rails for up to 700 pounds of static load, which can support certain rooftop-tent setups when the vehicle is parked. Always follow Subaru’s roof-load limits and the accessory manufacturer’s requirements.

What Standard EyeSight Safety Technology Comes on Every 2027 Crosstrek?

Every 2027 Subaru Crosstrek comes standard with Subaru EyeSight® Driver Assist Technology. Core EyeSight features include Pre-Collision Braking, Pre-Collision Throttle Management, Lane Departure and Sway Warning with Lane Departure Prevention, and Advanced Adaptive Cruise Control with Lane Centering. EyeSight uses forward-facing cameras and other vehicle systems to monitor the road ahead and provide driver assistance under appropriate operating conditions. System effectiveness can vary with weather, visibility, road conditions, and other factors.

In addition to standard EyeSight functionality, the 2027 Crosstrek includes a range of active and passive safety technologies. Standard equipment includes:

• Advanced Adaptive Cruise Control with Lane Centering
• Pre-Collision Braking and Pre-Collision Throttle Management
• Lane Departure and Sway Warning with Lane Departure Prevention
• Rear-seat side airbags
• High Beam Assist

Higher trim levels and option packages expand upon this standard safety foundation. Depending on configuration, available or standard features can include Blind-Spot Detection with Lane Change Assist, Rear Cross-Traffic Alert, Reverse Automatic Braking, and Automatic Emergency Steering. Automatic Emergency Steering can provide steering assistance together with Pre-Collision Braking when the system determines there is sufficient space to help avoid a collision.

The available DriverFocus® Distraction Mitigation System uses a dedicated interior camera to monitor the driver and can provide alerts when it detects signs of distraction or drowsiness. DriverFocus and other driver-assistance technologies are designed to supplement attentive driving and do not replace the driver’s responsibility to remain focused on the road.
