Does the 2024 Crosstrek Limited have a heated steering wheel?
Yes. In the 2024 Crosstrek lineup, the heated steering wheel is available on the Limited when the Weather Package is selected; it is not standard on base trim and may require opting into the package on other trims. Availability can vary by market, so verify with a dealer or build configuration.
Understanding heated steering wheel availability across trims
The Crosstrek’s heated steering wheel is not offered as a stand-alone feature on every trim. It is typically tied to Subaru’s Weather Package, a bundle that is more commonly associated with mid- to higher-level trims. Here is how it generally breaks down by configuration:
- Base trim: Typically does not include a heated steering wheel.
- Premium: Heated steering wheel is usually available only when the Weather Package is added.
- Limited: Heated steering wheel is typically included when the Weather Package is selected or may be standard in some regions.
In short, if a heated steering wheel matters to you, you’ll want to consider the Weather Package on Premium or ensure you’ve selected it on Limited when ordering or purchasing.
Weather Package specifics and what it adds
The Weather Package is designed for colder climates and adds several comfort and visibility enhancements. The exact contents can vary by market and model year, but commonly includes the following:
- Heated steering wheel
- Windshield wiper de-icer to prevent ice buildup
- Heated exterior mirrors to improve visibility in cold conditions
- Sometimes additional features like remote engine start or heated seats, depending on the trim and market
To confirm what is included on your vehicle, check the window sticker (the vehicle's Monroney label) or consult the dealer's build sheet for your exact VIN.
How to verify on your Crosstrek at the dealership or in photos/builds
When shopping or comparing, use these steps to verify: look for the Weather Package on the sticker or in the feature list, ask the dealer to pull up the exact package contents for your VIN, or review the official Subaru configurator for your region to see if heated steering wheel is listed as included with the Limited trim.
Summary
The 2024 Crosstrek Limited can indeed have a heated steering wheel, but it’s typically contingent on selecting Subaru’s Weather Package. If warm steering wheel comfort is a priority, confirm that the Weather Package is included with your chosen trim, and verify via the window sticker or dealer documentation.
