Inject some excitement into your daily commute with the 2026 Subaru Crosstrek, now available at Subaru of Wichita. For 2026, the Crosstrek lineup sees a major performance boost, as the 180-horsepower 2.5-liter SUBARU BOXER engine is now standard across the entire gas-powered range. Whether you are navigating the busy intersection at Kellogg and Rock Road or escaping for a weekend at Cheney Reservoir, this compact SUV delivers the perfect mix of agility and ruggedness. With its signature 8.7 inches of ground clearance and standard Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive, the Crosstrek is built for those who want a vehicle that is as comfortable in the city as it is on the trail.

Interior

The interior of the 2026 Subaru Crosstrek is designed for the modern, active lifestyle. The tech experience is more seamless than ever with the standard 11.6-inch SUBARU STARLINK Multimedia Plus touchscreen on most trims, featuring wireless Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™. New for this year, a 12.3-inch fully digital instrument cluster is available on higher trims, providing a high-definition view of your navigation and vehicle data. The cabin also benefits from a standard wireless phone charger on most models, ensuring your devices stay powered without the clutter of cables as you drive across the Kansas plains.

Comfort remains a priority with ergonomically designed seats that help reduce fatigue on long journeys. The 2026 model introduces a heated, leather-wrapped steering wheel as standard on the Limited and Wilderness trims, a welcome addition for chilly Wichita mornings. Despite its compact footprint, the Crosstrek offers a versatile 54.7 cubic-feet of maximum cargo space with the rear seats folded, complete with a wide rear hatch opening that makes loading camping gear or sports equipment effortless. Whether you prefer the bold yellow-accented Sport cloth or the premium leather-trimmed interior of the Limited, the Crosstrek offers a cabin that is both durable and sophisticated.

Exterior

The 2026 Crosstrek retains its athletic, playful appearance while adding refined touches that improve performance. The exterior features aerodynamically enhanced wheel arch cladding and air outlets behind the front wheels to reduce lift and improve stability at highway speeds. Look for striking paint options like Lithium Red Pearl, Alpine Green, or Sapphire Blue Pearl. The Crosstrek Wilderness continues to be the most rugged option, standing tall with 9.3 inches of ground clearance, matte-black 17-inch alloy wheels with Yokohama GEOLANDAR® all-terrain tires, and heavy-duty roof rails designed to support a rooftop tent.

Performance

Performance takes a leap forward for 2026 as the 2.5L engine becomes the standard powerplant for all gas models, delivering 180 horsepower and 178 lb-ft of torque for more confident merging and passing. For the eco-conscious driver, the all-new 2026 Crosstrek Hybrid debuts a next-generation series-parallel system, combining the 2.5L engine with two electric motors for a total of 194 horsepower and an impressive EPA-estimated 36 MPG combined. Every Crosstrek features a Lineartronic® CVT and Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive, with available dual-function X-MODE to help you maintain traction in the deepest Kansas mud or snow.
