Crosstrek enthusiasts had waited since September 2022 when Subaru Corporation first announced the next-generation Japanese-specification Crosstrek. Subaru of America chose to wait and uncover the new U.S.-specification Crosstrek until this year at the Chicago Auto Show. Here are the details. The new Crosstrek gets upgraded power on its re-tuned engine, newly designed exterior styling, and upgraded safety and entertainment technology.

Generally very pleased with my 2020 Forester Touring, but would like to downsize now to the even more parking and city-friendly Crosstrek. Disappointed, though, that the 2024 Crosstrek, as in previous years, apparently does not offer the option of a heated steering wheel in any of the trims. Dealbreaker, up where I live...will await news of the 2024 Forester.
