The {{nihongo|Subaru Crosstrek|スバル・クロストレック|Subaru Kurosutorekku|lead=yes|also known as the Subaru XV globally for the first two generations}} is a compact crossover SUV produced by Subaru since 2012. It is a successor to the Outback Sport in the United States and Canada, and the Impreza XV globally. Like the Outback Sport, the Crosstrek is a lifted Impreza hatchback with minor differences, though with a more substantial lift than the Outback Sport.
Initially, the vehicle was marketed as the XV globally, and as the XV Crosstrek in the United States and Canada. In 2015, Subaru dropped the XV moniker in the United States and Canada, marketing it simply as the Crosstrek for the 2016 model year and onward. In 2022, Subaru introduced the third-generation model, using the Crosstrek nameplate globally for the first time.
All generations of the Crosstrek are raised versions of the Subaru Impreza hatchback.

The Subaru XV Crosstrek Hybrid (2013) is a version of the Subaru XV Crosstrek with permanent magnet AC synchronous motor rated {{convert|10|kW|PS hp|0|abbr=on}} and {{convert|65|Nm|lbft|0|abbr=on}}, Lineartronic CVT, Nickel hydride batteries, and 225/55 R17 tires. Externally, "HYBRID" badges have been applied to the front doors and on the rear liftgate, and unique rear lights and wheels are exclusive to the hybrid version. The vehicle was Subaru's first production hybrid after a series of concepts stretching back to the 2003 B9 Scrambler, and was unveiled at the 2013 New York International Auto Show.{{cite web|title=FHI Introduces the "SUBARU XV CROSSTREK HYBRID" at the 2013 New York International Auto Show – First-Ever Production Hybrid model –|url=https://www.subaru.co.jp/en/news/archives/contents/pdf_en_87456.pdf|publisher=fhi.co.jp}}{{cite web|title=富士重工業株式会社 ニュースリリース|url=http://www.fhi.co.jp/news/13_01_03/13_03_29_1_87456.html|publisher=fhi.co.jp}} Compared to the conventionally-powered XV Crosstrek, a new gauge cluster and keyless start have been added to the hybrid, which gains approximately {{convert|300|lb}} in weight. The 0.6 kW-hr battery (weighing {{convert|55|lb}} by itself) takes the space previously occupied by the spare tire, minimizing the loss of cargo space. Using the battery alone, range is estimated at {{convert|1|mi}} at {{convert|25|mph|kph|abbr=on}}. The 10 kW generator-motor is built into the Lineartronic CVT, similar to the "turbo-parallel-hybrid" system first shown on the Subaru B5 TPH concept, and is intended to be used primarily for acceleration assistance and regenerative braking. Fuel consumption is improved by approximately 11%, from {{convert|28|mpgus|abbr=on}} (combined city/highway) to {{convert|31|mpgus}}.{{cite magazine|author=Weissler, Paul|date=2 April 2013|title=Subaru introduces a different kind of hybrid|url=http://articles.sae.org/11977/|magazine=Automotive Engineering|publisher=Society of Automotive Engineering|access-date=1 March 2018}}

Starting in the middle of 2020, for the 2021 model year, Subaru began selling the Crosstrek with changes that include aesthetic tweaks, a new trim level, more driver assistance technology, and a new 2.5-liter engine option. The most obvious exterior styling change is larger front lower bumper cladding in black plastic. The new Sport trim level, above Premium and below the top spec Limited, will bring with it Subaru's dual X-Mode traction control with Snow/Dirt and Deep Snow/Mud terrain options. On the Canadian market, the Sport is known as the Outdoor. The Sport trim will also get a unique interior with a Sport logo plus yellow stitching. Limited trim vehicles will get a leather interior with orange stitching. For driver aids, any CVT-equipped Crosstrek can get adaptive cruise control and lane centering. Top-of-the-line Limited models will receive blind-spot detection with lane-change assist plus cross-traffic alert, reverse automated emergency braking, and high-beam assist. For the first time, the Crosstrek offers a 2.5-liter FB25D as an engine option, and it is only available with the CVT transmission on the Sport and Limited trim levels. The new engine offering makes {{convert|182|hp|PS kW|0|abbr=on}}, 30 more than the standard 2.0L engine.{{cite magazine|author=Beresford, Colin|date=June 9, 2020|title=2021 Subaru Crosstrek Adds 2.5-Liter Engine, Gets Updated Look|url=https://www.caranddriver.com/news/a32803441/2021-subaru-crosstrek-specs-revealed/|magazine=Car and Driver|access-date=9 June 2020}}
For the 2023 model year, a new Special Edition package was introduced for the Premium trim, marking the return of the Desert Khaki color option offered in the previous generation. It is fitted with a custom black and red interior with red stitching and leather accents. As with the previous generation, the Special Edition was limited to 1,000 units, and all models were only available with the CVT transmission.{{Cite web |title=Subaru U.S. Media Center - SUBARU ANNOUNCES PRICING ON 2023 CROSSTREK AND CROSSTREK HYBRID |url=https://media.subaru.com/newsrelease.do?id=1917&mid=1&allImage=1&teaser=subaru-announces-pricing-2023-crosstrek-crosstrek-hybrid |access-date=2022-07-18 |website=media.subaru.com}}

The roof rack is rated for {{Convert|700|lb|kg}}. The Crosstrek Wilderness uses the same 2.5-liter FB25D from the Sport and Limited trims and features a lower final drive ratio of 4.11 compared to the standard 3.7. The CVT transmission was retuned for better low-speed performance, and with the addition of a CVT cooler, it can tow up to {{Convert|3,500|lb|kg}}. Like the other 2.5-liter trim levels (except the 2025+ Premium trim), the Wilderness is also produced in the United States at SIA.

83,499 2018 Crosstreks and 37 2019 Crosstrek plug-In hybrids, along with 2017–2018 Subaru Imprezas and 2019 Subaru Forester and Ascent models were recalled for a faulty PCV valve that could break apart and cause oil consumption or possibly a stall.{{Cite web|url=https://www.consumerreports.org/car-recalls-defects/subaru-recall-cars-could-lose-power-while-driving-pcv-valve/|title=Subaru Recalls Over 250,000 Cars That Could Lose Power While Driving|last=Barry|first=Keith|website=Consumer Reports|date=December 12, 2019 |language=en-US|access-date=2020-01-15}}
In July 2021, a warranty extension for up to 10 years (and unlimited mileage) was applied to the electronic power steering rack of all 1st generation US Crosstreks (along with all 4th generation Foresters and Imprezas) due to the possibility of corrosion in areas with high amounts of road salt deployed in winter months (like the Rust Belt region of the United States) causing the rack to become prone to cracking after a significant impact. The issue doesn't cause complete failure of the rack, however it does cause issues with steering feel when turning. Owners who receive a repair will get an updated steering rack that is not prone to this issue.{{Cite web |date=Jul 28, 2021 |title=Electronic Power Steering (EPS) Gear Box Assembly Warranty Extension |url=https://static.nhtsa.gov/odi/tsbs/2021/MC-10199960-0001.pdf |website=Subaru}}{{Cite web |date=Jul 24, 2018 |title=Uneven Steering Effort |url=https://static.nhtsa.gov/odi/tsbs/2018/MC-10143869-9999.pdf |website=Subaru}}
In October 2021, a warranty extension for up to 8 years (and unlimited mileage) was applied to all first generation Crosstreks (along with most Subaru models of the time period) for the CVT parking brake switch, as when the contacts on the switch are contaminated, owners can't remove their key from their ignition switch. All affected vehicles, regardless or age or mileage, are covered by this extension until October 31, 2022.{{cn|date=June 2024}}
Sales
Sales in the United States have been much stronger than its predecessor, the Outback Sport, with 2020 being the first year with a sales drop, which could be attributed to a car sales slump in the US.{{Cite news|url=https://www.nytimes.com/2019/07/23/business/were-full-car-dealers-say-as-auto-sales-slow-after-a-long-boom.html|title='We're Full,' Car Dealers Say as Auto Sales Slow After a Long Boom|last=Boudette|first=Neal E.|date=2019-07-23|work=The New York Times|access-date=2020-01-14|language=en-US|issn=0362-4331}}
