The 2026 Subaru Crosstrek Hybrid is officially on the horizon-and it's already generating a lot of talk. Known for their reliable, adventure-ready vehicles, Subaru is stepping up its hybrid game with a next-gen Crosstrek that blends better performance, smarter tech, and the all-weather capability the brand is famous for. Mark your calendars: the 2026 Crosstrek Hybrid will arrive at dealerships in early fall 2025. Final pricing and trim details haven't dropped yet, but Subaru has confirmed that more information will be released closer to launch.
2026 Subaru Crosstrek Hybrid - What We Know So Far
Performance
At the heart of the 2026 Crosstrek Hybrid is a completely redesigned hybrid powertrain. Subaru pairs its signature 2.5-liter SUBARU BOXER engine with a newly integrated electric motor system, producing a combined 194 horsepower.
That means quicker acceleration, smoother highway merging, and a more refined ride overall-all while maintaining Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive for year-round confidence on dirt roads, snowy highways, and everything in between.
Subaru hasn't released official MPG figures just yet (as of May 2025), but they've promised improved range and lower emissions compared to previous models.

Technology
The 2026 Crosstrek Hybrid isn't only powerful-it's also smarter. Drivers will love the fully digital 12.3-inch gauge cluster, a first for any Crosstrek model. This crisp, customizable display gives you real-time feedback on energy flow, drive modes, and your vehicle information.
Next to it is an 11.6-inch touchscreen infotainment hub featuring wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. This will bring easier navigation, hands-free calls, and effortless playlist control on the go.
Subaru Safety
Subaru's commitment to safety continues with the latest EyeSight Driver Assist Technology. Standard features on the new hybrid include:
- Adaptive Cruise Control
- Lane Keep Assist
- Pre-Collision Braking
This suite will help reduce driver fatigue and boost overall peace of mind-whether you're in bumper-to-bumper traffic or cruising down the open road.
Exterior Design
Subaru hasn't fully shown the new Crosstrek Hybrid's exterior, but early previews suggest it'll retain its tough, outdoorsy styling with a few exclusive hybrid touches. Think of:
- Bold cladding and high ground clearance
- Pronounced wheel arches
- Possible new colors or hybrid-specific badging
This balance of everyday efficiency and trail-tested toughness is what sets the Crosstrek Hybrid apart from more urban-focused rivals.


Sport Durst Subaru Reviews
This should be the only dealership to consider buying a vehicle from in the Jacksonville and Wilmington area. This was my first time buying a new vehicle and after 2 years of terrible experiences I wish I had gone here sooner. Customer service was human, honest and frankly above and beyond across all departments (service, sales, finance, management) Garrett was incredibly down to earth and was never pushy- I felt taken care of, listened to (fully) and informed. I really could not have asked for a more exceptional experience. Kudos to this business for understanding and honoring how important of a decision it is to purchase a vehicle. Thank you Garrett and team so much!

Austin and Stephen helped me to upgrade my 2017 Crosstrek to a brand new 2024 Crosstrek! Everyone there was incredibly nice and we had a great time during the entire process! Austin even gave my new car its name (lol), which was a perfect fit. We will definitely be coming back here and recommending any family and friends

If I could give this place more stars I would, Riley is the best salesman I've ever had the pleasure of coming in contact with. He went out of his way to help me multiple times and even bought me and my friend a pizza. He got me in a very nice car with a very nice deal I recommend him and the team there 10x over!

Brandon has been my salesman for about 5 years now! And he never disappoints! No matter where he goes I'll be behind him. His personality and ability to really go above and beyond to help you out makes the process of getting a vehicle so much smoother! Thank you again Brandon for everything! I definitely appreciate you!
