The 2025 Subaru Crosstrek continues to be a top pick for drivers in Fairfax and Northern Virginia looking for a reliable, capable, and adventure-ready compact SUV.

Which Trim Levels Are Offered on the 2025 Subaru Crosstrek?

The Crosstrek lineup includes five well-appointed trims: Base, Premium, Sport, Limited, and Wilderness. The Base model features STARLINK® Multimedia with dual 7-inch displays, dual-zone climate control, and a front USB-A input—essentials for everyday driving in Fairfax.

The Premium trim adds more technology and comfort with an 11.6-inch touchscreen, wireless Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™, a Wi-Fi hotspot, an upgraded audio system, and Keyless Access with Push-Button Start.

The Sport model brings aggressive styling with 18-inch alloy wheels, yellow exterior accents, a leather-wrapped steering wheel, wireless phone charging, and heated front seats included in the All-Weather Package.

For a refined experience, the Limited trim upgrades to perforated leather seating, a 10-way power-adjustable driver's seat with lumbar support, and premium ambient lighting throughout the cabin.

Adventure-seekers in the Fairfax area will love the Wilderness trim, which comes trail-ready with raised suspension, water-resistant upholstery, all-terrain tires, and off-road-focused enhancements built to tackle the unexpected.

How Does the 2025 Subaru Crosstrek Perform in Northern Virginia?

The Base trim comes with a 2.0-liter four-cylinder BOXER® engine delivering 152 horsepower. All other trims are powered by a more robust 2.5-liter BOXER® engine with 182 horsepower, ideal for hilly terrain or highway acceleration. Every Crosstrek is paired with a Lineartronic® CVT and features Subaru's signature Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive for year-round traction and balance.
