Overall, the Subaru Crosstrek’s interior is designed to favor function over form. The sturdily built cabin features a clean, modern style, excellent fit and finish, and a generous amount of high-quality and soft-touch materials. Everything is thoughtfully laid out, from the infotainment system to the center console, to ensure they’re easy to view and reach from the driver’s seat. Thanks to its large windows and upright pillars, the crossover has an airy, open feel and provides great outward visibility. It also does a fine job of muffling road noise, resulting in a quiet, serene ride.

Lower trim levels of the Crosstrek come with an all-black interior, but they have some fun-colored trim that adds a stylish touch. Opt for an upper-trim model with two-tone seats and yellow or orange accents if you want a more aesthetically pleasing cabin. For 2023, the SUV offers a new Special Edition package that includes sporty design elements such as red-and-black upholstery and red stitching on a myriad of surfaces throughout the cabin.

Seating

The Subaru Crosstrek is a two-row crossover that can seat five people. With a total passenger volume of 100.9 cubic feet, this Subaru model provides more spacious seating than most other compact crossovers. The front seats are downright expansive, offering 43.1 inches of legroom and 39.8 inches of headroom. Rear passengers can also relax with 36.5 inches of legroom and 38 inches of headroom. The seats are well-padded and supportive enough to keep you and your family comfortable, even on long-distance trips. Their elevated height gives you a commanding view of the road.

The entry-level Crosstrek model comes standard with cloth upholstery and manually adjustable front seats. However, you can gain access to an array of available features by moving up the trim ladder or purchasing packages or options. These upgrades include water-repellent synthetic leather seats, genuine leather seats, a power driver’s seat, heated front seats, a leather-wrapped, heated steering wheel, and a leather-wrapped shifter handle.

Cargo Capacity

If you regularly go on road trips or outdoor adventures with your family, you’ll appreciate the large cargo capacity of the Subaru Crosstrek. The SUV has 20.8 cubic feet of storage space behind its rear seats. Lowering these seats expands the cargo area to 55.3 cubic feet, which is more than enough to accommodate a small family’s luggage and belongings. Also, the Crosstrek has a wide-opening tailgate that makes it easier for you to load and unload bulkier items.

Interior Features

Another attractive aspect of the 2023 Subaru Crosstrek is that it comes with a long list of interior features to deliver a great driving experience. If you choose the base trim, you’ll get automatic climate control and remote keyless entry as standard equipment. Higher trims offer options such as keyless entry, push-button start, and a moonroof.

Whether you’re crawling through heavy traffic or cruising on a monotonous stretch of highway, you can count on the Crosstrek to make your trip more enjoyable with its user-friendly and feature-loaded StarLink infotainment system. This system is easy to operate and features a touchscreen display with crisp graphics, a straightforward menu, and quick response times.

Standard infotainment features include a 6.5-inch display, a USB port, Bluetooth, Android Auto, Apple CarPlay, and a four-speaker sound system. If you want a better in-vehicle experience, you can opt for available features such as an 8-inch display, three extra USB ports, a Wi-Fi hot spot, navigation, satellite radio, HD radio, a six-speaker audio system, and an eight-speaker Harman Kardon audio system.

Driver-Assistance Features

The Subaru Crosstrek also has an extensive list of driver-assistance features to improve your safety behind the wheel. These technologies are designed to help you become more aware of your surroundings so that you can promptly take the necessary actions to avoid a collision. Some of them also provide automated assistance in emergency situations.

The base trim of the Crosstrek comes standard with only a rearview camera. However, there are plenty of other advanced safety features available on higher trims, such as forward and reverse automated emergency braking, front- and rear-collision alert, lane-keeping assistance, lane-departure detection, rear cross-traffic warning, blind-spot alert, adaptive headlamps, automated high-beam headlamps, and rear-seat alert. The function of the rear-seat alert is to remind you to check the rear seats for children or pets before you leave the vehicle.

Trim Levels and Prices

If you decide to purchase the 2023 Subaru Crosstrek, you have four trim levels to choose from: the base Crosstrek, Premium, Sport, and the range-topping Limited. The SUV also has a hybrid version that can help you save substantially at the gas station.

The base manufacturer’s suggested retail price of the Crosstrek is $23,645, making it one of the most affordable models and best value propositions in the compact SUV segment.
