Hybrid Technology
90 MPGe[1] with Subaru StarDrive Technology
The Crosstrek Hybrid uses Subaru StarDrive Technology to combine the efficiency of a plug-in electric vehicle for city commuting with the long-range capability of a SUBARU BOXER gasoline engine for road trips without limits. The gas engine charges the electric battery even if you can't plug in, so there's no worry about running out of electric power. The Crosstrek Hybrid provides up to 90 MPGe and up to 480 miles of total vehicle range[2], all with the confidence of Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive.
OVERVIEW
All of the power. All of the efficiency. All of the confidence.
Subaru StarDrive Technology is smartly designed to give you ultimate freedom. Simply drive how you want and this advanced system automatically optimizes power, torque, and fuel efficiency to deliver not only improved acceleration but up to 90 MPGe. Take on any adventure and leave worries behind.
EVERYDAY DRIVING
Everyday Driving
The system will run on a combination of electric and gas power. To maximize efficiency, the Crosstrek Hybrid automatically draws power from the hybrid battery first. The battery also recharges by harnessing kinetic energy, such as when you’re coasting downhill or whenever you take your foot off the throttle. The system can also draw more power from the gas engine when you need it. It constantly works to maximize power and efficiency so you don’t have to worry about either.
ALL-ELECTRIC POWER
All-Electric Power
The Crosstrek Hybrid will automatically drive in all-electric mode as much as possible, saving you fuel costs by achieving up to 90 MPGe while still delivering generous off-the-line power. When the weather turns, only Subaru gives you the confidence of standard Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive.
BATTERY-SAVING
Battery-Saving
When you want to maintain the battery’s charge level, Battery Save Mode directs the gas engine to provide most of the power while keeping the battery level as constant as possible. This is useful when you’re taking a longer trip and plan to do more electric driving later.
CHARGING ON THE GO
Charging on the Go
The Crosstrek Hybrid battery automatically recharges while you’re on the road. When the battery gets low, the gas engine will automatically start and begin to recharge. You can also charge the battery by driving in Battery Charge Mode, which directs the gas engine to charge the battery at all times, even when the vehicle is stopped – gaining up to 33% of battery capacity in 30 minutes of driving.
Plug-in Charging
You can charge the Crosstrek Hybrid at home using the included charger or anywhere with a standard outlet. When plugged into a 120V household outlet (Level 1), the Crosstrek Hybrid can take approximately five hours to completely charge a fully depleted battery. When using a 240V outlet (Level 2), a full charge only takes approximately two hours. Most commercial charging stations use the 240V charging capability, enabling faster charge times for your Crosstrek Hybrid.
Charge Finder Charging Station Locator
With the Charge Finder app, you're able to search for and identify nearby public charging stations from inside the Crosstrek Hybrid via the in-vehicle touchscreen. This STARLINK application utilizes a nationwide network of charging stations to provide detailed information for each station, including location, charger availability, charging rates, charger compatibility, and hours of operation.
Smart Savings
Better Commuting with Restricted Lane Access
The Subaru Crosstrek Hybrid is eligible for High-Occupancy Vehicle (HOV) lane access in select states[5], including California, Maryland, and New York, so your commute can be even more efficient and enjoyable.
Versatile Capability
The Crosstrek Hybrid has all the capability you've come to expect from a Subaru SUV, including standard Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive. The balanced design of Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive creates uniform stability and delivers an optimal distribution of power for maximum traction. It makes for improved handling, efficiency, and a quicker response to road conditions. The Crosstrek Hybrid can handle all kinds of weather and off-pavement adventure with 8.7 inches of ground clearance. It's a capable combination Toyota RAV4 Prime, Kia Nero PHEV, and Mini Cooper SE Countryman ALL4 can't match. [6]
Most Efficient Crosstrek Ever
Our engineers designed the most efficient Crosstrek yet. With Subaru StarDrive Technology, the advanced hybrid drivetrain can instantly generate torque for effortless acceleration - which is more responsive and means you're always ready and nimble in traffic. With 1,000 pounds of towing capacity, you can bring along everything you need for your latest adventure.
Integrated Roof Rails
Standard low-profile roof rails and an extensive line of Thule® racking accessories provide cargo-carrying flexibility to help bring more gear wherever life takes you.
Connected and Comfortable
Flexible Cargo Area and 60/40-Split Fold-Down Rear Seats
There's always room for more fun in the Crosstrek Hybrid. A wide rear gate opening makes bigger gear easier to load. With 60/40-split flat-folding rear seatbacks, you can fit three in the back with both rear seatbacks up or fold a seat down for extra cargo space.
SUBARU STARLINK Multimedia

Advanced Safety
EyeSight has been found to reduce rear-end crashes with injuries by up to 85%.[9]
EyeSight monitors traffic movement, optimizes cruise control, and warns you when you're swaying outside your lane[10]. It's one of the reasons why the Crosstrek Hybrid was named a 2021 IIHS TOP SAFETY PICK+. The automatic Pre-Collision Braking feature can apply full braking force and bring you to a complete stop in emergency situations[11]. Lane Keep Assist can even help you steer back into your lane[12]. Another way Subaru designs vehicles with your safety in mind.
