Find the 2026 Subaru Crosstrek in Berlin, CT

Check Out the 2026 Subaru Crosstrek at Schaller Subaru in Berlin, CT

The 2026 Subaru Crosstrek brings more than all-weather readiness; it brings thoughtful engineering, purposeful tech, and room to move. At Schaller Subaru in Berlin, CT, drivers can choose from five well-equipped trims: Base, Premium, Sport, Limited, and the trail-conquering Wilderness. Every model is powered by a naturally aspirated 2.5-liter Subaru BOXER engine, backed by symmetrical all-wheel drive, and loaded with safety-first engineering.

Compared to small SUV rivals like the Hyundai Kona or Toyota Corolla Cross Hybrid, the Crosstrek stands apart with its standard AWD, refined suspension tuning, and impressive interior space. And when compared to linemates like the Forester or Outback, the Crosstrek carves its own lane in the compact SUV class with tighter dimensions and a taller ride height. Whether you're commuting, exploring trails, or hauling weekend gear, the Crosstrek lineup delivers with precision.

Interior: Smart Comfort, Spacious Cabin

Inside the 2026 Crosstrek, a clever layout, quality materials, and thoughtful features set the tone for everyday practicality.

Cloth upholstery is standard on Base and Premium, while Sport and Limited models include sport cloth and leather-trimmed seating respectively. StarTex® water-repellent upholstery is exclusive to the Wilderness.

A 60/40-split folding rear seatback comes standard across the lineup, and maximum cargo space reaches up to 54.9 cubic feet depending on trim. Heated front seats are available or standard on most models, and the Limited and Wilderness trims add a heated steering wheel. Dual-zone automatic climate control is standard across all five trims. Drivers can choose between manually adjustable or 10-way power front seats, with available orange or yellow contrast stitching depending on trim.
