Engines
The 2023 Subaru Crosstrek trim levels are powered by two primary engines, which are as follows:
A 2.0-liter, 4-cylinder Subaru Boxer engine rated at 152 horsepower powers the Crosstrek Base and Premium models. Both trim levels are available with a Lineartronic continuously variable gearbox as an option or a standard 6-speed manual transmission.
A continuously variable automatic gearbox and a 2.5-liter BOXER engine with 182 horsepower are standard on the 2023 Crosstrek Sport and Limited.
The 2.0-liter direct-injection Subaru BOXER engine, Subaru Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive, Lineartronic continuously variable automatic gearbox, and two electric motors are all combined in StarDrive Technology, which is exclusive to the Crosstrek Hybrid.
This powerplant produces 148 horsepower in total. The EPA estimates that the Crosstrek Hybrid can go roughly 17 miles on pure electric power on a full charge. When connected to a Level 2 charging station, a full charge takes around two hours; with a regular 110-volt outlet, it takes roughly five hours.
