For the buyer who wants the safety, the AWD, and the clearance without paying for a single feature they won't use — $26,995 starting MSRP — your out-the-door number comes in writing.
Tell us who you are. We'll come back with the real out-the-door number — and a straight answer on whether Premium is worth it for you.

What You Get
Base isn't a stripped-down teaser — the entire Crosstrek foundation is standard. Here's what's in, and what you're honestly skipping.
There's no trim below this — and nothing essential was held back to sell you an upgrade.
The trade-offs are comfort and convenience — never safety or capability.
$26,995 starting MSRP — your out-the-door number comes in writing before you set foot on a lot.
The Honest Ladder
There is no step down — Base is the whole floor, and the floor is high. If a Crosstrek with every safety system and real AWD at $26,995 is what you came for, you're already standing on the right rung.
Premium is $1,000 more and buys the 11.6-inch screen, roof rails, and access to the option boxes actually worth checking. For most people, that's the best $1,000 in the lineup. But if this car is pure function — commute, park, repeat — keep the money. Base gives up nothing that keeps you safe or gets you there.
No pressure either way — we make the same honest recommendation whether you spend $26,995 or $34,995.
Name, number, "Base" — or just "help me pick." We handle the rest.
