Does Crosstrek have leather seats?

Yes. Leather seats are available on the Crosstrek, but typically only on higher trims; most Crosstreks ship with cloth upholstery on base and mid-level trims.


The interior options vary by model year and market. In recent generations, the Limited trim has leather-trim seats as standard, while Base, Premium and Sport trims usually use cloth, with leather or synthetic-leather options appearing only in certain years or packages and depending on region.


Leather seating by trim and year


Below is a snapshot of how upholstery has typically been configured in recent Crosstrek generations. Note that exact options can vary by year and region, so always confirm with a dealer or the official Subaru spec sheet for the model you’re considering.



  • Limited: Leather-trim seats standard on most recent US-spec Crosstrek models.

  • Base/Premium/Sport: Usually cloth upholstery; leather-trim is not standard and may not be offered on all years or markets.

  • Alternate materials: Some years or markets may offer leather or synthetic leather as part of a package or higher-trim option, depending on the configuration.


If leather is a must-have, the most reliable choice is the Limited trim, or you should verify the exact interior configuration for the specific model year you’re interested in.


Care and maintenance


Leather seats require regular cleaning and conditioning to prevent cracking and fading, and you should protect them from sun exposure. If you opt for cloth or synthetic upholstery, consider seat covers to extend life and maintain resale value.


Summary


In short, the Crosstrek typically offers leather seats on the Limited trim, with other trims using cloth and occasional leather-like options depending on year/market. Always check the current model year’s official specs to confirm what’s included or available in your market.
