What do you all think of the 2024 Subaru Crosstrek features?
Love the safety features and the road following headlights!
I like everything except the wheels and the big screen that loses analog HVAC. The wheels aren't as distinctive and burly looking, now they look like eveyone elses.
Sad to see no electric options. With Toyota RAV4 hybrid and plug in hybrid models doing so great and having amazing MPG, disappointed Subaru isn't trying some of those as well
Like the new rims and rear bumper cover. Not a fan of giant touchscreens, prefer some knobs with a smaller touchscreen. Wish a power lift gate was an option.
It's only a facelift rather than new gen
Thanks for your videos. They have been a tremendous help. Just ordered my 2024 Crosstrek premium this afternoon. Test drove one this afternoon and impressed not with only the power of the engine but the weight of the car. I'm back to enjoying driving a vehicle again!
you have sold me on this car, you are a great salesman, i have watched other videos about 2024 crosstrek but you have explained it very well
This is probably the best well informed detailed video I’ve seen. Thank you
Thank you! Happy to help!
Picked up our new CrossTrek Wilderness in Geyser blue today. We loved our 2022 CrossTrek premium but this Wilderness absolutely rocks!!!! Thank you for taking care of us. A happy repeat customer.
There is a lot of tech to go through in new cars and your explanations cover it fairly well.
The 11” screen is hardly a reason to get the new Crosstrek. The removal of physical AC controls is a terrible decision on Subaru’s part. If safety is such a big concern of theirs why are they giving you more reasons to take your eyes off the road? We all know this is just a cost-saving measure on their part.
Really? Replace one of those 11.6" screens, and when you get hit with the bill, see how much of a "cost-saving measure" it is. Ouch...
@@eskieman3948 He's referring to reducing manufacturing costs, not reducing cost of replacement by the vehicle owner.
@@eskieman3948 Cost-saving for SUBARU. Why spend time and energy designing and building buttons, knobs, and the circuitry involved when you can just outsource a crappy touchscreen and slap it in there?
Well said, this is the #1 safety flaw in many car manufacturers and some are paying attention to complaints from the consumer base and not installing touch screens that require constant attention when driving for car functionality.
@Eskie Man why would it need to be replaced these screens are probably the most reliable part in any auto. When was the last time your TV screen went bad.
I prefer dials to touch screen for many controls. Love my crosstrek! Sad that I can't replace my manual 2022!
Yeahhh I REALLY wanted the manual version
But.... once I drove the 2024 Limited, I was sold hahaha
hahahah@@ericchin739
I have owned Subaru cars from the 1980 era Legacy wagon to my 2023 Crosstrek (my 5th Subaru). I have noticed that the first year of a new generation is a work in progress and subsequent model years contain refinements that work out the bugs uncovered from real world driving experiences. I do like the electronic parking brake addition to the 2024 ( loved that feature on my 2011 Outback). My wish list for all future models would be the fold away cross bars on the roof rack, currently found on Outback’s. Makes for a sleeker appearance and less wind resistance when not needed.
Agreed.
Such a nicely edited and informative video! I hope Subaru thanks you with some cash or freebies!
Just got the 2023 outback wilderness and used to have the Forester 2020 touring and to be honest I like the design of this better. I like have wireless CarPlay. It makes my car look more organized and not crowded.
I’ve loved this car since they were introduced in 2012. It will probably be my next build and buy
Nice review. You answered a the question I had concerning whether Android Auto was now wireless.
I have a 2022 Crosstrek Limited for almost a year now. My first ever Subaru. I love it. This 2024 Crosstrek looks even better.
Ahhhh!!! Thanks for the heads up on the gas door.
I didn't even notice the lever isnt there!
I am coming from a 2017 WRX, so a lot of little quirks of this car remind me of my WRX which is nice!!
Ascetics...now you're speaking my language. I am on my 2nd lease of an Outback. First was a 2018, now a 2021, both limited, so I've never had push-to-start or moon roof. May move to financing a used '19 or '20 or just continuing the lease route. Love the videos you're making. Ive watched 5 so far on my day off.😁
Really good job helping understand trim level. I just got a Wilderness doubt that I will ever go off road, I just liked it
I just traded in my beloved 2014 Crosstrek MT for a very low mileage used 2023 Limited. I've mourned the loss of the tight, responsive drive of my 2014 ever since. I can only describe the handling of the 2023 as loose. It definitely does not hold a high-speed curve like my 2014! Now driving feels more like work, instead of pleasure. I've never bought used before, but did NOT want the giant touchscreen without tactile AC control knobs on the 2024. I had to take my 2023 in for a slight issue last week, and was given a loaner--a brand new 2024 Crosstrek Premium with only 5 miles on it! I drove it easy, respecting the fact that it was not broken in, but here are my impressions: It was smooth! The transmission was incredibly quiet and smooth, and the ride was, as well, even when hitting a couple of rough patched areas. The steering was much tighter, and very responsive on curves. Stiffer chassis made it a joy to drive. The upgraded noise dampening was a super-plus. But now, the absolute deal-breaker for me: The huge touchscreen! Trying to adjust the AC/Heat on a typical mountain Spring day, was a nightmare. The fact that the controls are on the bottom of the screen made it even worse--it's a long way from where our eyes are supposed to be (on the road!) to the bottom of that huge screen. What on earth, Subaru?? What has happened to your once-famous claim to safety? To sum it up, I was thrilled to get my 2023 back, looser drive and all. I will baby this car and try to make it last. Unless Subaru wakes up and changes the screen issue, my next car will, sadly, not be another Subaru. Just my 2 cents!
I just bought one, i cant wait for it to arrive .
Would love for you to start including the MSRPs when you do these vehicle break downs (understanding that you're only showing us 1 trim/specific packages!)
Although I hate infotainment climate controls, I’m glad they made a dedicated section on the bottom of the screen for it, instead of burying it in a separate settings page
Seeing this I'm glad I got a 2022 sport, but I would love the increased towing capacity of the Wilderness.
I subscribed. Great channel for Subaru owners.
Nice review!
I like that the screen sits lower in the dash then previous years (better visibility). It is a large screen, but you get used to it. You can preset your climate control before you start driving, leaving it off. Turn it on with one push of the button as the engine warms up. Good job Alex
Great additions to Crosstrek. I have Forester & fits my needs & larger size & 2.5l engine. Will stick with a new Forester when time comes to get a new one. 😎
Aww I like the old emergency brake handle. The electric switch version is not nearly as fun to play with.
I just upgraded our 2022 Limited to the 2024 limited my dealer gave me a deal I could not refuse the new seats are way more comfortable then our 2022
Great video ! Ive had mine a week now and the thing that bugs me the most is there is no place to store washer fluid jugs !
After buying an ascent in 2019 with the extended warranty thru Subaru I would never buy another Subaru with a CVT. I got lucky mine got replaces and the steering rack was replaced twice. Only car I'd buy is the WRX with a manual transmission.
What good is a touchscreen and all the doodads if you don't use a cell phone? I prefer analog, manuals, old school. Less to break down. Less expensive to fix. 4 tires, a clutch and a steering wheel is all I wanted. But with no choice I bought a 2024 Touring (canada). Still waiting since my first order of '2023" in Oct and having to switch to a 2024 in January. I really hope I don't regret it.
Enjoy your videos. What do you use to clean inside of car dash. Dust buildup. Thank you
Thanks for all the great information - Love your channel! Just bought a new 2023 Crosstrek and am wondering what is the best process for cleaning the dashboard in order not to leave streaks? Thanks so much for your videos.
Thank you 👍 for watching and leaving a comment,

Spray interior cleaner on a clean microfiber cloth to clean and prep the dash/interior trim. Always! Next apply a WATER BASED trim dressing with a foam applicator. Rags are uneven. Remember to shake the water based dressing! The secret to no streaks is to buff the dressed dash/trim with another clean microfiber cloth after 20-30 minutes. If you don't buff, the dressing will shrink as it dries causing a "streaked" appearance.
Thank you Alex for sharing the new model video. I am waiting for the new Forester 😊
Helpful video, thanks. I just put a deposit down on a 24 premium. It has a moon roof and power driver seats. I do not see heated seats listed. Is there a separate add on package that has all three?
Glad we bought a 2023.
thank you for this useful video ,i have a question, where is the X mode button ?
thank you
The limited trim should have included the upgraded sound system and frameless auto dimming rear view mirror
Totally agree with it why charge people another extra 2K for that
I'm going to buy it out Subaru Crosstrek you made my day more easier thanks 2024 year.
I went to purchase the cross trek yesterday. I felt so defeated when I realized that the back didn’t have ac vents. I have a Boxer and a French Bulldog that are easily overheated so no back vents are a no go. My sales man was great he could tell I didn’t like the outback wagon look and even though they didn’t have a Forester on the lot he showed it to me on the computer and I ordered it. It has a typical suv appearance WITH back ac vents and more space. Hopefully my Forester touring model will be delivered in August and I’m looking forward to loving it.
The Forester Touring is a great SUV, you will love it.
I love my Forester. Hope you and the pups enjoy yours, too!
Hope you test drove a Forester before ordering one. Foolhardy not to.
Hi guys! do we know when the 2.5 wilderness is for sale? I can't wait!
Those spots in the rear cargo area for where you put the duct tape and the rope for a night out on the town.
Why does power seat not have memory setting in driver profile?
Hey, Alex about showing a 2024 Forester Touring, would please!!! I’m interested in if this for my wife I need to hear from you
The touchscreen is one reason that I have to drop this car from my list...
The big 'bottle' holders in the trunk are for food and water bowls for the pet buddies
If I am looking for wireless Android Auto and RAB, will I need to go up the the 2024 Limited on the Crosstrek and perhaps just the Sport on the 2024 Forester to have these options? Plus I think the Forester has auto hatch and the Crosstrek does not have this feature?
How do you open the rear gate? Can u put your finger under the stars like in my 2021 Forester? Is there also a button inside the car so like you can open the rear gate when car is running and they’re putting in your groceries? I still can’t figure that out on my 2021 Forester. Thanks! You’re an excellent teacher!
Yes, the rear gate opens by a button below the subaru logo. There is however no power lift gate on the crosstrek. If your Forester is equipped with the power rear gate, you can open and close it with the key fob by clicking and holding the hatch button (car must be off for this to work). You can also click and hold the hatch button on the left side of the dash (with or without the car running)
What about the sound system? My 2016 Crosstrek Premium had a terrible stock sound system.
I've got the 2019 crosstrek. I love it. Wish I had the new touchscreen/ UI, as it is terrible on the 2019 model. Il
Just bought a 2024 crosstek premium. Loving it. Wish the seats were electric and it would automatically lock when you walk away- or had a button on the outside handle to open and lock the car like my old car did!
Thank you 👍 for watching and leaving a comment,

I put in a deposit on a factory order and expecting delivery early to mid next month
It does. Just got a Crosstrek premium and has 2-3 groved lines on the left of the drivers handle.
I'll say it again Alex I want Desert Kakhi back. my 2020 Crosstrek (red) is still humming along
Cup holders in the back for tailgate picnics
I’m curious why when you were showing the head unit and discussing wireless CarPlay at 4:32 your camera suddenly switched to another interior with a wireless charging pad. Where’s the wireless charging pad in this car and why did you cut to another Subaru interior (and which one has wireless CarPlay??)
Would the limited addition to the 3024 cross trek be worth the extra money?
When will the Sport show up in American dealerships?
Just purchased a 24 crosstrek today, here in sept hopefully as we need the car, other one total loss. Unfortunately needed quickly so no heated seats or power seats😂. Going from a plus 300 hp Camaro, so this will take some getting used to with the 2.0.
not getting navigation but will use my phone. will the map encompass all of the 11 in screen or just a part of it? how much?
I was going to get a new crosstrek but I got so used to the remote lift gate in my Outback and decided I would miss it too much so I got a new forester wilderness instead.
Having one now, I'd also agree.
Are you happy with the Wilderness? Is the hwy mpg disappointing?
@@jeepinspence I have put 3000 miles on it since purchasing and I am liking it. Most of my driving has been highway type and I think I’m averaging around 31mpg which is higher than the window sticker. I honestly didn’t buy it for mileage (2018 outback was feeling outdated so I got the new car bug). I just had the urge for a new car and since I previously had a crosstrek and don’t need three rows of seats the forester fit the bill for me.
Super happy with my 24 Crosstrek with the 14 package. The dealer told me those compartments in the trunk are for the dog bowls
I just put a deposit on a 24 premium, sun blaze pearl, can’t wait to get it. The dealerships don’t have any, one has a white limited but I wanted the premium so I have to wait a couple weeks unfortunately. But still super excited
Do you love it?? In a couple of weeks I’ll have the exact same car, same color too. I’m so excited.
@@lovelymoon3719 I do love it!! I call it my little ibex, because it’s like a mountain goat, it doesn’t look like something you would take up a gnarly jeep trail but it goes right up some pretty crazy off road trails with ease. And it’s super comfortable, has all the bells and whistles. I’m a paraglider pilot so getting to the top of the mountain with my friends and all our gear is the whole reason I picked this car, and it’s absolutely perfect.
Good spot for dog bowls on each side in the cargo area 👍🏻
I believe the larger cup holders in the trunk are for dog bowls.
Is Subaru coming out with a new Baja and / or a Brat? If so when? Motor options? and Starting Prices?
I just picked up a 2024 crosstrek I am wondering if you could do a detailed video on steering wheel buttons screen features that would be great.
Yess!
I need a tutorial on the safety features as well lol
@@ericchin739 there are so many functions. I’m still trying to figure them all out.
@davehart9887
Actually found a decent video on it.
Not as hard as it seems (thankfully)
Turn cruise control on as normal.
It defaults to adaptive control
Use the buttons next to that to adjust the follow distance for the car in front of you.
Set your speed, and relax
Question, does the 2023 Outback have rear view camera hooked to rear view mirror?
Glad to hear the seat has been addressed. Hopefully successfully, because that was the most unfortunate car I've ever spent time in. Traded in for an ascent.
Seat issues? You haven't driven many vehicles then. Lol.
Why did you trade it in for an accent. That is the most useless and overpriced vehicle in Subaru lineup
The only improvement I really wish my 22 Sport had was a driver side button to pop the hatch . A front camera would have been cool too.
I'm glad they upgraded the headlights, upgraded to wireless and decreased noise is pretty sweet too though.
HOWEVER, I don't approve of the large screen, and nixing the cd player and crank hand break (idk it's just physically satisfying).
I LOVE my car. Seriously, I see others on the road and think...good choice, brother/sister!
TBH, I think the 2021-23 Crosstreks are a better package. I think the previous gen look better on the outside, and the interior door panels and other areas of the cabin in the '24 look like they've been cheapened up somewhat. Not a fan of the new tablet screen and lack of physical buttons. I'm also not convinced the suspension is "upgraded", since all they did was soften the dampers and springs. That may make for a smoother ride, but it may come at the expense of handling. The previous gen Crosstrek was universally praised for having a comfortable ride as it was.
Ultimately, the 2024 is less attractive than the model it replaces, IMO.
It is cheaper...look at the shifter....the previous gen actually has a better shifter and pleather covering. But now its just a cheap ass looking plastic knob with a metal stick exposed.....It actually looks like shit.
I've got a '21 Limited w/2.5 .... and I agree.
I'm not inclined to trade mine in on a '24. Even when I can get what I paid for it 18 months ago as a trade-in.
I also have a '21 Crosstrek & love it. As for the new '24 model, I like the exterior changes but the interior...not so much...definitely looks cheaper. I'd miss the physical knobs & the physical e-brake. The new seats look nice and getting rid of the gas cap release on the floor is a good idea.
❤ my 22 Sport so much! I prefer the smaller screen. I hate navigating screens while driving. It's better to have frequently used controls committed to muscle memory. Also, the cd player means I can raid old booksales for cheap as dirt cds/audiobooks. Lol.
@@bananaboat805 couldn't believe a cd player was standard! One of the reasons I chose the crosstrek!
I bought a brand new 2023 a month ago, did I make a mistake not waiting to get the 24?
Do these new Crosstrek come with the Driver Focus technology?
Why the crosstrek 2024 in Canada doesn’t have the front camera on any trim despite it is available in other markets like Australia. What is really annoying that the actual physical button is there next to the gear shifter and the parking breaks. I don’t think it will add to the cost this much even there is no radar/sensor to help with parking. I know all trims has the eyesight tech which is great but I don’t think it has something to compensate for a front parking camera or radar
I like this car very much. I think I’m going to get the 2024 Subaru Crosstrek Sport. I like the 2.5L engine and the fabric seats.
Great car, I wish it still came in manual though.
I am going to assume this is an American video! The packages in Canada are much different than US. The convenience package in Canada (the base model) has heated seats. It is prudent journalism to clearly state which market the product is reviewed for.
I'm sticking with my Forester Wilderness.
It's also closer to the ground reducing the height which shocked me.
Nice 👍🏻
Hi Alex, I got subaro crosstreck touring 2024, just more than 3 months ago. But it looks like the subaro you presented is different from mine. Could you pls give me some feedback.
Those cup holders in the back would be great for water bottle when hiking - load up the back and put those wet sweating cold water bottles in the back
That car looks awesome...
Not wild about the giant touch screen and lack of physical HVAC controls.
Did I miss 110v outlets in the back?
I’m anxious for the ‘24 forester remodel. Thank you for the videos
Thanks! I’ll be posting on it as soon as I have details
I love it Alex, thanks a lot.
never did understand the 12v being inside the center console. what a hassle to get to
Wow!
Looks like a great vehicle. Thanks for the video.
Are cd players an option in Canada?
The pet bowl cutouts in the back seem nice. I was thinking maybe a safe location to securely stow your fire extinguisher as well as I always drive with a portable one and first aid kit. I also made it clear to Subaru that if they're going to continue the touchscreen hvac controls for 2025+ legacy/outback models, I will be changing brands.😑👎
For tailgating
I love my '21 Crosstrek Limited, no desire to 'upgrade' to this unless it gets totaled lol
Me too
Same I agree. I do not see a need to upgrade mines.
Hi Alex, will they be doing any updates on the 2024 Forester?
not sure yet but I'll be posting about details on the 2024 Forester as soon as I have them
Alex. Just a fast question. I have a 2020 Forrester Touring very happy with nit. Sorry no intention to buy a new cR. BUT THERE IS AN MPG INDICATOR ON THE INFOR STACK IN THE MIDDLE. This mpg inidcator seems stuck on the 28.1. How does this change? Every time I fill up I zero out the odometers .
There is also a mpg gauge between the speedometer and tach. You have to select it.
I prefer the 2023. No more manual transmission. Not a fan of the new look. Those wheels reminds me of Pontiac Sunfire's and it's not a good thing. Now some of those "improvements" are really subjective. I dont like the giant touchscreen, it looks bad and i prefer normal buttons for heating and AC. The parking brake being electric now is another dumb upgrade. Have fun changing your rear brakes without a scantool. Also if you believe those wheel arc cladding holes will help stability, then you must also beleive in fairy's. The good thing is that the chassis is 10% stiffer, but appart from that, IMO the 2023 is a lot better.
I got the 2023 Premium while the getting was good.
NO CLUTCH, NO SALE.
My Crosstrek premium will be arriving around July 8
I was wondering about SUBARU STARLINK® Safety and Security on 2024 crosstrek. Is Remote Engine Start with climate control standard on limited only. If i subscribe can i use on premium model?
I currently own a 2020 Legacy. Great car. My next purchase I plan to buy is a Crosstrek. Consumer Reports states the front drivers seat seat is uncomfortable but sounds like that has been addressed from your reviews. I have heard that other reviews state that the standard engine seems underpowered. I am 65 years age not a speed racer do not do off roading....mainly want a reliable dependable vehicle to visit family friends and get stuff at Walmart. Do you think that the standard engine is ok for me? Really engine your vehicle reviews. Subaru make great vehicles. I just subscribed to your channel. Thanks.
Hello, I just got the Limited with the 2.5 liter engine.
I'm coming from a WRX and I think it's perfectly reasonable - to be honest.
The base model will probably be just fine, and the seats are actually REALLY comfortable. My favorite part of the car.
@@ericchin739 Thanks a lot my friend for your help.....enjoy your new Crosstrek. Thanks!
Why did they get rid of the tilted headrest?
Does it have AVH feature?
I am just in process of buying 2024 Crosstrek onyx trim (available in Canada, 2.5 l engine). They are offering me extended bumper to bumper warranty up to 7 years/100,000 km. This will probably last me for 7 years as I don't drive that much anymore. Does extended warranty provide value for Subaru Crosstrek? They say it covers electronics, too, and with some recent changes I thought maybe there will be more failures...This is my first Subaru and I paid a lot of money in repairs for my Hyundai Sonata, so I feel inclined to buy the extended warranty. But, how likely are failures in Subaru up to 100,000 km? Ny insight from Alex or followers/users of Subaru would be much appreciated! ....Thanks!
