2025 Crosstrek Premium

The highly anticipated 2025 Crosstrek Premium is an elegant SUV. In fact, it's one of the best compact crossovers money can buy. For this reason, it stands as a very valuable model that will more than likely remain an appealing choice for SUV lovers everywhere. The best part is that it offers much more than just a well-proportioned exterior and a head-turning composition.

They say it's on the inside that counts. And the 2025 Crosstrek Premium certainly lives up to that philosophy with its accommodating and upscale interior. But the question still remains: Is this stylish and sophisticated SUV the right choice for you? Keep reading to find out.

Exterior Design

The 2025 Crosstrek Premium is completely refreshed for the new model year. In fact, it undoubtedly has become an undeniable head-turner as a result of its latest enhancements. Case in point? Its compact design is accentuated with precise amounts of black cladding and perfect side profile proportions. But that's not all; other exterior elements include the following:

• Bright LED adaptive headlights
• Raised roof rails
• Generation 4 EyeSight cameras
• Stylish signature front fascia
• Standard 8.3 inches of ground clearance

While the Crosstrek Premium has been refreshed for 2025, Subaru didn't rock the boat too much. This model is not that much of a departure from the previous generation. As a result, it still retains a familiar sense of what makes a Crosstrek a Crosstrek.

Interior Layout

A unique aspect of the 2025 Crosstrek Premium is its interior design. This model is compact, but not cramped. The result is a conservatively sized vehicle that can easily fit in snug parking spaces, that still provides ample cabin space. For this reason, the Crosstrek Premium offers the best of both worlds when it comes to both its exterior and interior designs.

Other interior elements include the following:

• Stylish, perforated seats
• Soft and hard-touch materials
• 4.2-inch digital gauge cluster
• Manual tilt and telescoping steering wheel
• An ample amount of storage space

The interior of the Crosstrek shares many similar elements that you'd find in both the Outback and the Forester. "Keeping it in the family" is a design philosophy that the Crosstrek honors. As a result, you can feel certain you're receiving quality with every model option.

Performance and Capabilities

One of the joys of this versatile SUV is the driving experience it offers. Due to its modest size, the Premium is easy to park and maneuver as you make your way across town. The base model comes with a 2-liter 4-cylinder engine as standard equipment, which generates 152 horsepower. However, all other models within the lineup come with the standard 2.5-liter boxer engine, which generates 182 horsepower.

The result of the 2-liter engine option is a 0 to 60 mph acceleration time of 9.5 seconds. Conversely, the 2.5-liter engine was able to leap from 0 to 60 mph in 8.1 seconds. While these acceleration speeds are sluggish at best, it's the category of fuel economy where the Crosstrek Premium really stands out.

In fact, EPA estimates reveal that the base engine of the 2025 Crosstrek Premium was able to produce a fuel economy rating of 27 mpg in the city and 34 mpg on the highway.

Suite of Advanced Technology

Everyone wants a connected driving experience. In fact, connectivity has now become not only a major selling point but a standard that motorists expect today. As a result, Subaru has gone to great lengths to ensure its vehicles are equipped with the latest state-of-the-art technology. This ensures a well-connected driving experience for every occupant.

A few of its tech features include the following:

• Wireless phone charging pad
• 11.6-inch infotainment system
• Apple CarPlay and Android Auto
• Bluetooth control switches
• Hands-free phone connectivity

With all the advanced technology that is integrated within the 2025 Crosstrek Premium, you and your passengers will be both entertained and well-connected wherever the open road happens to take you. As a result, the Crosstrek Premium provides an enhanced ride quality from the standpoint of connectivity, performance, and safety. Indeed, the Premium trim has it all.

Safety and Driver-Assistance Features

Few things will ever rank higher than safety and security for most motorists when it comes to making that final buying decision. And the manufacturers at Subaru understand this intimately. For this reason, they ensure that each model they produce-whether it's a sedan or SUV-is manufactured with the latest safety features. And CrossTrek is no exception.

Some of its advanced safety and driver-assistance features include the following:

• Rear child safety locks: This safety feature is designed to stop children from opening the rear doors while in the back seats. These locks are typically found on the edge of the rear doors. They usually use a type of switch or mechanical lever that, when activated, prevents the inside door handle from opening, thereby enhancing safety for the child.
• Driveline traction control: Driveline traction control is a safety system that works to prevent your wheels from spinning in slippery road conditions (ice or snow). It monitors the speed of your wheels and can automatically modify the engine power or even apply your brakes to prevent your wheels from slipping on the road.
• Lane centering: Imagine a driver-assistance system that keeps your vehicle centered within its designated lane as you drive. That's what lane centering helps you to achieve. It delivers steering assistance by adjusting your vehicle's direction in order to maintain a position within the center of the lane markings.
• STARLINK safety and security: Subaru's STARLINK Safety and Security system offers an array of connected technology to improve both your safety and convenience while on the road. It provides features such as stolen vehicle recovery, automatic collision notification, and even remote services, all of which are accessible via your vehicle's infotainment monitor, a desktop computer, or even the mobile application.
• Adaptive cruise control: Think of ACC as an improvement in traditional cruise control. This system automatically modifies your vehicle's speed in an effort to match the speed of the vehicle that's ahead of you. Conversely, if the vehicle in front of you decreases its speed, ACC will also automatically slow down in order to match it.

These safety features are advanced technological attributes to ensure the security and well-being of you and your passengers. As a result, you can feel certain that you and your loved ones are well protected every time you enter the 2025 Crosstrek Premium
