Sweet spot is the Limited, without any add-ons. Avoid a moonroof, but gets you the blind spot, rear alert AND braking (not available in the Sport), for only $100 or so more than the Sport + moonroof/blind spot package. Plus whatever else the Limited gives you, basically free if you give up the moonroof.
@@francescoinnocenzi2671 that's not true, stop lying to yourself lol. We see them every day we go out. That and toyota, Honda, and chevy... even worse cars like the kia and hyundai.. the only ones I dont really see are mitubishi lol Now THOSE are junk.
I want that wilderness model. I have been waiting for more than 2 years to buy a new car 🚗 and have been going crazy 🤪 doing research. I was considering Toyota Rav4 and Honda CRV and Subaru Crosstrek Sport and I really like that Crosstrek with the wilderness packag. I love the outdoors and I want my next car to be able to go on Adventures in upstate NY.
We bought a Outback wilderness, we love it.. We saw the new CrossTrek Wilderness at the NY Auto Show, it looked great in the new blue, which we have… Can’t wait to see on the lots!
@kostadinustavalkov1902 Well the 2024 subaru crosstrek Wilderness popped up on the subaru website on the model trim level lineup last week so it should be available soon.
I just got the 24’ Premium model with the upgrade package, has moonroof, powered seats, blind spot, rear detection alert, wireless connectivity, I really don’t know how they got all that in a lower trims. I also got it with 3k off at the dealership so i got it for 28k out the door. I’m surprised at the base engine doesn’t feel underpowered in my personal opinion, my first Subaru and I’m hooked love it, hopefully keep it forever
@@richardthomas4080 I got it in a dealership in Clearwater, FL. The dealership bought the car from another dealership an hour away and for some reason the person who requested it didn’t want to buy it no more and it wasn’t selling so they bumped the price down 3k
@@MicahB98 thanks for replying, here on long island NY , the salesmen at dealerships are pushing msrp plus dealer adjustment fees, was a long time toyota buyer til the dealership thought it was a good idea to play games ...so i'm now looking at subarus lets see if i encounter the same bs
For me I would get the premium with that package but since I hate moon roofs I would be getting the limited so I could get that package and not have to get the moon roof.
The Limited also comes standard with the 2.5 engine. I'd probably get the Limited because with Subaru's convoluted option packages its the only way I can get the 10 way power driver's seat without getting forced to take the sunroof (and I have a sunroof on my 2021 Legacy and it rattles - done with that).
The base black 17" wheels look much better than the Premium wheels. I know they're the same design but the all-black look is much tougher looking than the shinymachined aluminum. I really wish the black wheels were an option on the Premium.
I totally agree! I just picked up my sun blaze pearl crosstrek limited and it is incredible!! Everything except the wheels! I will be swapping those out asap
I don't understand why everyone talks about looks. A car is a tool. Do you care how your screwdriver looks? Tell me about reliability, functionality...looks are worth nothing.
@@randomgrinn a car is a tool in the same way that clothing is a tool. It has a function and can be minimized down to just pure function but most people want things that appeal to them and others. If you don't think there are tools that are designed to look specific ways then you aren't paying attention. The big name brands' tools may look utilitarian but they're a heck of a lot prettier than what you would find on a jobsite and they sell a lot more of them at least partially because of that.
@@randomgrinn A bus is a tool. A cars is art, and transportation, and can become a passion. For reliability, one may consider cars built in the 1990's, which will likely outlast all newer cars, as they do not have direct injection, CVT, expensive monitors, backup cameras, and less air bags. I take it the saying, " life is too short for ugly cars " is nothing to you, and that's fine. In new cars, it is possible that Toyota brand will get you more years with fewer problems. The safest cars, within class and price range, will be Subarus.
Interesting, in Canada the Limited comes with moon roof and Harmon kardon, and the Canadian version of the sport, called Onyx also comes with moon roof and 10 way power driver’s seat with two way lumbar support.
I have the Sport with the moon roof/power driver's seat here in the US and the only thing I wish it did better on was the city mpg. I'm hovering around 22-23mpg city, but much better on highway. I don't miss the leather trim from the Limited, and since I don't do trail running, the Wilderness trim would be overkill for me (plus much worse mpg due to the extra height/ground clearance). Overall, it's a great car so far!
You fail to mention how the Wilderness gets 4 mpg less than the other models. The purchase price is somewhat meaningless when you pay more for it every day.
If you want a Japan-built one, then you will need to get the Base or Premium 2.0L engine versions. Otherwise, it's built in the USA (the 2.5L trims). I prefer the Mazda CX-30 myself.
for anyone shorter than 6 feet, the cx-30 is a no brainer. For taller people, the cx-30 won't work unless you want to only use 3 total seats instead of 5, no way someone can fit behind a tall person. I'm 6'3 and the cx-30 didn't work for me. I went with the crosstrek as I was even able to seat behind myself.
Put a deposit on a premium model that the dealer had on order because car it is replacing was total loss in a accident and needed a car quicker. Would have preferred to get the sport trim. Should be here in early September?? It will be our first Subaru, my wife will be replacing her total loss Camaro.
Just lost my Forester in a 30 car pile up this Monday. Just heartbroken...went to the Subie dealer and test drove a little Pure Red Crosstrek Premium....it's adorable and handled very well....has a lot of bells and whistles that my 2018 Forester didn't have, ill probably go back and get it as soon as I get my insurance check.
I am very much a fan of this new Crosstrek iteration, and the 2.5L engine with more power is a nice upgrade. However I know many people who who drive Crosstreks, and have never taken them off concrete even once. I am asserting that this vehicle is purchased not as a "rugged go any machine", but just as another SUV status symbol for suburbanites who wish to appear "rugged". The Wilderness addition owners seem even more guilty of this fallacy, at least in my part of the country.
Crosstrek isnt really a "status symbol", just a practical, easy to drive vehicle. I think the statistics are that around 30 pct or more Crosstrek owners take them off road. The big advantage, though, is in snowy climates. AWD and the higher ground clearance is why they are all over the place here in Minnesota, and other cold climates.
Since I live in Chicago, our winters can be rough, so having a Subie makes a lot of sense. Status symbol...not sure about that but I get your point. Those folks might be just wanting to project an image rather than doing any real outdoorsy stuff. Meh, doesn't matter to me really. Folks can spend their money any way they want I guess.
@@paulcarmi8130yeah the '18-23 Crosstrek i thought is more conservative designed than either this gen after or the one before. but all of them are just kinda gross
Paul and Zach wouldn't know a good looking car if it bit them on the ass. Not only do they look good but they are reliable and do pretty much everything well
I have the '24 Sport and yes it does have the big screen, but luckily you can turn it off which is what I do. You can control most of the stuff on the steering wheel except for the HVAC. It's all very well done IMO.

Costosa,linea antica,consumi eccessivi,costosa la manutenzione,ostica a rivenderla.infatti Subaru non se ne vedono in giro
Completely agree and moon roofs are nothing but a potential leak down the road.

the only downside of that is the no harmon kardon speakers... the low end ones are kinda mid
Yeah I went with the Limited, needed the upgraded sound and something that can get around town, load my surfboards. The other choices seemed so…blah.
I got the 2024 Premium about a month ago. My first Subaru and loving it. Thanks for the video
Took delivery of a factory order Sport trim July 1. Accurate take on the pros and cons.

Also extra travel in wilderness, not sure how much, should add to comfort for daily driving , like over speed bumps etc.
You fail to mention how the Wilderness gets 4 mpg less than the other models. The purchase price is somewhat meaningless when you pay more for it every day.
What about Hybrid 2024 models and pricing?
Consumer Reports has the previous model year rated very high and this one with a predicted high rating also

Best is 2023 which I just purchased at the Premium level
Why is it best
Is the narrower TRACK WIDTH (about half an inch) of the Wilderness model going to be an issue for stability and handling??
canadian base (aka convinence) version gets roof rails lol
