SUBARU ANNOUNCES NEW 2026 CROSSTREK HYBRID WITH NEXT-GENERATION HYBRID POWERTRAIN
Subaru of America, Inc. today announced the new 2026 Subaru Crosstrek Hybrid. The third-generation Subaru Crosstrek returns with a hybrid model for 2026, equipped with a next-generation Subaru series-parallel hybrid system and standard Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive for enhanced range and capability. The next-generation Subaru hybrid powertrain is designed to integrate seamlessly into the existing all-wheel drive architecture without any loss in capability. The Crosstrek Hybrid comes standard with Subaru's award-winning EyeSight® Driver Assist Technology and is available with a 12.3-inch digital gauge cluster, and tablet-style 11.6-inch SUBARU STARLINK® Multimedia system with wireless Apple CarPlay® and Android™ Auto compatibility.
The 2026 Subaru Crosstrek Hybrid is powered by a next-generation Subaru series-parallel hybrid powertrain that integrates a 2.5-liter SUBARU BOXER® engine and electric motors with Subaru Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive and Lineartronic® Continuously Variable Transmission (CVT). The hybrid compact SUV's total system output is 194 horsepoweri and retains Subaru's legendary off-road capability with enhanced efficiency compared to its non-hybrid counterparts. The 2026 Subaru Crosstrek Hybrid will arrive at retailers nationwide in fall 2025.
All trim levels of the 2026 Subaru Crosstrek Hybrid are equipped with Subaru Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive, X-MODE® with Hill Descent Control, and 8.7 inches of ground clearance, more than many full-size SUVs.
The 2026 Subaru Crosstrek Hybrid uses the automaker's latest series-parallel hybrid powertrain for enhanced efficiency without sacrificing capability. At its heart, the newly developed 2.5-liter Atkinson/Miller-cycle Subaru BOXER® engine and transaxle are paired with an electric motor generator and electric traction motor for efficient power. Rated at 194 combined horsepoweri, the system uses the electric motor, engine, or both to power the 2026 Crosstrek Hybrid on- or off-road confidently.
Subaru's Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive system is mechanically coupled to the front and rear wheels for reliable and responsive performance. The Subaru Crosstrek Hybrid utilizes a high-capacity, sealed lithium-ion battery rated at 1.1 kWh.
All 2026 Subaru Crosstrek Hybrid models are equipped with the latest version of Subaru's award-winning EyeSight® Driver Assist Technology. The newest version of EyeSight operates more smoothly and quickly and under a greater range of conditions than prior versions. These improvements are thanks to a wider field of view, updated control software, and the addition of an electric brake booster. EyeSight can identify cyclists and pedestrians at intersections sooner and, when necessary, alert the driver and apply braking to avoid collisions. Additional active safety features are available for Crosstrek Hybrid, including Reverse Automatic Braking and Blind-Spot Detection with Lane Change Assist and Rear Cross-Traffic Alert.
The 2026 Subaru Crosstrek Hybrid also includes Emergency Stop Assist if the driver becomes unresponsive to warnings while using Advanced Adaptive Cruise Control. The new standard safety feature will stop the vehicle, activate the hazard lights, and unlock the doors. SUBARU STARLINK® Connected Services will then place a call to emergency services.
The 2026 Subaru Crosstrek Hybrid is available with a 12.3-inch digital gauge cluster with navigation and Apple Maps compatibility as well as a tablet-style SUBARU STARLINK® 11.6-inch Multimedia Plus system. The 11.6-inch high-resolution touchscreen is equipped with wireless Apple CarPlay® and Android™ Auto compatibility with full-screen display. The multimedia system also works as a center information display with combination meter integration and on-screen controls for audio, climate and vehicle functions. Additional features include Bluetooth® hands-free phone and audio streaming connectivity; AM/FM stereo; rear vision camera; SiriusXM® All-Access Radio and SiriusXM Travel Link (4-month free Platinum Plan); HD Radio; and over-the-air updates.
The 2026 Subaru Crosstrek Hybrid will debut two new exclusive exterior colors, Sand Dune Pearl and Citron Yellow Pearl, to compliment 18-inch dark gray alloy wheels, also exclusive to the Crosstrek Hybrid.
Pricing, specifications, and equipment for the 2026 Subaru Crosstrek Hybrid will be announced closer to its on-sale date in fall 2025.
