Subaru Crosstrek 2nd Gen
Built on the Subaru Global Platform, the second-gen Crosstrek offers improved handling, standard AWD, and a practical design. It's a popular, value-driven choice for a modern adventure vehicle, with manual transmission models being especially sought after by enthusiasts.
The second-generation Subaru Crosstrek debuted for the 2018 model year on the new Subaru Global Platform, which increased chassis rigidity by over 70%. It retained the proven formula of a lifted Impreza hatchback, complete with 8.7 inches of ground clearance and standard Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive. Power came from a direct-injected 2.0-liter FB20 boxer-four engine, making a modest 152 horsepower, paired with either a 6-speed manual or a Lineartronic CVT.
The Crosstrek isn't a collector car in the traditional sense; it's a utility vehicle prized for its practicality and go-anywhere attitude. Buyers seek them out as dependable daily drivers that can handle weekend adventures and poor weather. The availability of a 6-speed manual on the Base and Premium trims is a significant draw for driving enthusiasts, as Subaru later phased it out in favor of a CVT-only lineup.
Early second-gen Crosstreks represent a strong value in the used crossover market. Based on sales of 2018-2019 models, prices average around $12,700. The market is driven entirely by condition, mileage, and trim level rather than speculative collector interest, making it a stable and predictable purchase for those needing a modern, capable vehicle.
Buying Tips
Check for underbody rust and damage, especially on the subframes and suspension components, as many of these cars are used in snowy climates and for light off-roading.
The early Starlink infotainment systems can be laggy and glitchy. Test all functions, including Apple CarPlay and Android Auto connectivity.
On models with the CVT, listen for any unusual whining and ensure smooth operation. While Subaru calls the fluid a 'lifetime' fill, many owners recommend servicing it around 60,000 miles.
Inspect the windshield for cracks or chips. The steep angle and the optional EyeSight system make replacement more expensive than on a typical car.
On manual transmission cars, check for smooth clutch engagement and listen for bearing noise, as throw-out bearings can be a wear item.
