About this generation

The third-generation Crosstrek was revealed in Japan on September 15, 2022, while being based on the outgoing model. It went on sale in Japan in December 2022, being available with a cheaper front-wheel drive option. The third-generation is also the first to use the Crosstrek nameplate globally; previous generations marketed outside the United States and Canada used the XV nameplate. The third-generation Crosstrek for the North American market debuted at the Chicago Auto Show on February 9, 2023.

The 2.0-liter FB20D and 2.5-liter FB25D engines were carried over from the previous generation, and the manual transmission was discontinued. The torque for the FB25D engine was increased. For the first time, the 2.5-liter Crosstrek Sport and Limited are produced in the United States at Subaru of Indiana Automotive, Inc. in Lafayette, Indiana. Production for the 2.5-liter models began on May 17, 2023. The 2.0-liter Base and Premium trims continued to be produced in Japan.

The 2.5-liter Onyx and Limited trim levels for the Canadian market are sourced from Japan. With the exception of the Wilderness trim, Crosstrek models produced in the United States are not exported to Canada. For the 2025 model year, the 2.5-liter FB25D became the standard engine for the Premium trim, replacing the 2.0-liter FB20D. Additionally, it received the dual-function X-MODE that was previously only available on the Sport, Limited, and Wilderness trims.

While the 2.5-liter Sport, Limited, and Wilderness trims are still produced in the United States, the 2.5-liter Premium trim continued to be produced in Japan alongside the Base trim, which remained unchanged from the previous model year. For the 2026 model year, the 2.0-liter FB20D was dropped from the Base trim, making the 2.5-liter FB25D the standard engine across all trim levels. Additionally, the FB25D engine's power was decreased from, and the torque remained unchanged.

The Alpine Green color option also became available across all trim levels; it was previously exclusive to the Sport, Limited, and Wilderness trims. For the U.S. market, all non-Hybrid Crosstrek models are produced in the United States at SIA, while the Crosstrek Hybrid is produced in Japan. On April 5, 2023, Subaru revealed the Crosstrek Wilderness at the New York Auto Show. It is a more off-road-oriented variant of the Crosstrek, and the third vehicle to be launched under Subaru's "Wilderness" brand.

The suspension is raised, which is more than the standard Crosstrek's of ground clearance. The roof rack is rated for . The Crosstrek Wilderness uses the same 2.5-liter FB25D from the Sport and Limited trims and features a higher final drive ratio of 4.11 compared to the standard 3.7. The CVT transmission was retuned for better low-speed performance, and with the addition of a CVT cooler, it can tow up. Like the 2.5-liter Sport and Limited trim levels, the Wilderness is also produced in the United States at SIA.

For the 2026 model year, the Wilderness trim was discontinued for the Canadian market due to counter-tariffs imposed on U.S.-made products. On January 17, 2025, Subaru of America revealed details of the third-generation Crosstrek Hybrid online. It debuted at the Chicago Auto Show on February 8, 2025, and began production in late 2025 for the 2026 model year. Unlike the prior Crosstrek Hybrid models, the third-generation Crosstrek Hybrid is a series-parallel hybrid using a 2.5-liter FB25 modified to run the Atkinson cycle.

The engine alone produces , while the main traction motor produces and on its own, making the combined power output . The second motor is smaller and does not contribute to forward traction; instead, it operates the starter and works as a generator to recharge the hybrid batteries. Both electric motors and the engine are driven by an eCVT, which features X-MODE and a new EV driving mode. The Crosstrek Hybrid is offered in two trim levels, Sport Hybrid and Limited Hybrid.
