UPDATE: We now have a 2018 Subaru Crosstrek review, prices and more.
Shown earlier at the New York Auto Show, the all-new 2018 Subaru Crosstrek will start at $22,710 in its entry-level 2.0i trim when fitted with the 6-speed manual transmission and $23,710 with the Lineartronic CVT automatic which makes its first-ever appearance on the base model. One step up, the 2.0i Premium will open at $23,510 with a 6-speed manual and $24,510 with the CVT while the range-topping CVT-only Crosstrek 2.0i Limited starts at $27,210. Subaru notes that despite being larger and better equipped, the new Crosstrek is just $100 more than its 2017 counterpart.

Riding on Subaru’s Global Platform that debuted on the 2017 Impreza, all versions of the 2018 Crosstrek are fitted with a 152-horsepower/2.0-liter naturally aspirated boxer-4 engine and feature the automaker’s Symmetrical All-wheel drive system that includes Active Torque Vectoring. In addition to standard alloy wheels, all variants models also boast a healthy 8.7 inches of ground clearance and CVT-equipped models come with X-Mode and Hill Descent Control to bolster for performance in low-grip and off-road conditions. The upgraded interior treatments in all Crosstreks complement their richer look and a 60/40 folding rear seat with standard Subaru Starlink Multimedia systems that now feature support for both Android Auto and Apple CarPlay.
