New Subaru Crosstrek Wilderness Breaks Free For A Minute

The Crosstrek isn't the sales performance leader but came in third in April. See why the Crosstrek breaks free with the new Wilderness trim level and where it would be without it. 

The new Subaru Crosstrek Wilderness is one reason Subaru of America has seen 21 consecutive months of yearly month-over-month growth. It's not the only reason, but it's a significant reason. 

For the 21 months Subaru of America (SOA) has been moving forward, the Crosstrek has been on a tear. The next-generation Crosstrek received a redesign and a new trim level, propelling the subcompact SUV skyward. 

2024 Crosstrek Wilderness on the trail

Subaru says, "In April, Forester remained the top seller, with 17,850 vehicles sold, an 85 percent increase compared to April 2023. Outback also continued to have a strong showing, with 13,131 vehicle sales. Crosstrek sales followed closely, with 12,127 vehicles sold, a 17.6 percent increase over April 2023."

Crosstrek Breaks Free In April

SOA reported they delivered 12,127 Crosstrek models to customers in April. The subcompact SUV is up 17.6 percent, one of only three models, along with Forester and Solterra, with increased monthly sales.

Crosstrek Is Up For A Minute

But the Crosstrek is still down 2.6% for the first four months of 2024. It is in second place in the all-wheel-drive lineup this year. Forester is number one overall, with 66,396 compact SUVs sold, and Crosstrek is at 50,532. Outback is in third, with 48,344 models delivered to customers in 2024. 

What is the 2024 Crosstrek pricing? Here is the pricing for customers looking for a new model.

For 2024, the Crosstrek is available in Base, Premium, Sport, Limited, and Wilderness trim levels and has a starting price of $26,290 (the same MSRP as the 2023 Base model equipped with the Lineartronic CVT automatic transmission).

The 2024 Crosstrek Premium has a starting price of $27,440, Sport ($30,290), and Limited ($32,190). Pricing includes destination and delivery fees ($1,225).
