Subaru of America today announced the new 2026 Subaru Crosstrek Hybrid. The third-generation Subaru Crosstrek returns with a hybrid model for 2026 in the Fall of 2025, equipped with a next-generation Subaru series-parallel hybrid system, a high-capacity lithium-ion battery and standard Symmetrical All-Wheel-Drive.

“The Crosstrek Hybrid comes standard with Subaru’s award-winning EyeSight® Driver Assist Technology and is available with a 12.3-inch digital gauge cluster, and tablet-style 11.6-inch SUBARU STARLINK® Multimedia system with wireless Apple CarPlay® and Android™ Auto compatibility,” Subaru said.

The 2026 Subaru Crosstrek Hybrid uses the automaker’s latest series-parallel hybrid. The newly developed 2.5-liter Atkinson/Miller-cycle Subaru BOXER® engine and transaxle are paired with an electric motor generator and electric traction motor. Rated (preliminary – subject to change) at 194 combined horsepower, the system uses the electric motor, engine, or both to power the 2026 Crosstrek Hybrid on- or off-road.

Subaru’s Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive system is mechanically coupled to the front and rear wheels. It has a high-capacity, sealed lithium-ion battery rated at 1.1 kWh.
