Experience the 2025 Crosstrek: Outdoor Enthusiast Approved

If your weekends include hiking in the redwoods, surfing in Santa Cruz, or snowboarding in Tahoe, the vehicle you drive matters. For outdoor lovers, the 2025 Subaru Crosstrek checks every box: capability, efficiency, cargo space, and comfort. Let’s explore why the 2025 Crosstrek outdoor lifestyle is exactly what it was built for.

Rugged Capability Wherever You Go

When adventure calls, the Crosstrek is ready. No matter where the trail takes you, this compact SUV is built to follow.
The 2025 Crosstrek features standard Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive, giving you better traction and control across all kinds of terrain. Whether you’re navigating muddy forest roads or snow-covered mountain passes, you can count on the Crosstrek to get you there safely.
With up to 8.7 inches of ground clearance, it easily handles rough paths and uneven trails without missing a beat. Add dual-function X-MODE® (available on select trims), and you’ll tackle slippery slopes and rocky climbs with extra confidence.
Simply put, it’s the kind of performance that makes the Crosstrek the best compact SUV for outdoor adventurers.

Designed With the Weekend Warrior in Mind

Subaru didn’t just build the 2025 Crosstrek for the road. It is designed for real-life outdoor escapes.
From the roof rails to the spacious interior, everything about this SUV supports your next adventure. Need to load up camping gear, a mountain bike, or your trusty kayak? The Crosstrek’s flexible cargo area and wide rear gate make it easy. You’ll get up to 54.7 cubic feet of cargo space with the rear seats folded down.
The cabin features water-repellent StarTex® upholstery on select trims, perfect for damp gear or muddy paws. There’s also plenty of room for friends or furry companions. It’s the ideal vehicle for your next weekend in Big Sur or an impromptu hike in Henry Cowell Redwoods.
This level of smart design keeps your outdoor lifestyle simple, clean, and ready to roll.

Fuel-Efficient for Long Road Trips

Let’s face it: the best trails and campsites aren’t always close to home. That’s why the Crosstrek balances power with efficiency.
The 2025 Crosstrek offers up to an EPA-estimated 34 MPG highway, making it one of the most fuel-efficient compact SUVs with standard all-wheel drive. That means more time enjoying nature and less time and money spent at the gas station.
Even better? Its long range makes it a great choice for extended road trips, whether you’re driving up the coast or exploring hidden lakes in the Sierra.

Tech and Safety Built for Adventure

Exploration should come with peace of mind, and the Crosstrek delivers both.
Standard EyeSight® Driver Assist Technology includes adaptive cruise control, lane centering, and pre-collision braking. Higher trims add Blind-Spot Detection and Rear Cross-Traffic Alert, which are perfect for backing out of tight trailhead parking spots.
The available SUBARU STARLINK® system keeps you connected with navigation, Apple CarPlay®, and Android Auto™, so you’ll never lose your way on backroads. Add the available wireless charging pad and remote engine start with climate control, and your Crosstrek becomes your basecamp on wheels.
No matter where your journey takes you, the Crosstrek has the tech to back you up.

How the Crosstrek Stacks Up to the Competition

If you’re comparing compact SUVs, you’ll likely consider models like the Toyota RAV4, Jeep Compass, or even Subaru’s own Outback. But the 2025 Crosstrek stands out.
Compared to the RAV4, the Crosstrek is smaller and more maneuverable, making it better for tight trails or city streets. It’s also more fuel-efficient than the Jeep Compass and offers a more refined interior with fewer compromises.
And while the Outback is a stellar adventure vehicle, the Crosstrek’s lighter footprint, lower starting price, and nimble handling make it the best compact SUV for outdoor enthusiasts who want capability without bulk.
It’s big on adventure, but small enough to fit your everyday life.
