Packages and options to add heated seats

Packages that typically include heated seats



  • All-Weather Package: The primary route to heated front seats on eligible Crosstrek trims, with other cold-weather features in some markets.

Summary


The 2024 Subaru Crosstrek does offer heated front seats, but they are not universally standard across all trims.

Always verify the exact configuration with Subaru’s official materials or your local dealer to confirm which trims and packages include heated seats for your planned build.

Why is Subaru discontinuing the Crosstrek?


Subaru is not discontinuing the Crosstrek model line entirely, but the Crosstrek Hybrid (PHEV) was discontinued in the U.S. due to slow sales and Subaru's strategic shift toward new hybrid and electric vehicle (EV) platforms that will be shared with Toyota. Subaru is still producing the standard Crosstrek and is developing new hybrid and EV models based on its new Global Platform, which will offer a new hybrid system for the Crosstrek in the future. The discontinuation of the manual transmission option was also driven by declining demand.

  • Hybrid model discontinued: The Crosstrek Plug-In Hybrid was dropped after a short run in the U.S. because it only accounted for a small percentage of total sales. 
  • Strategic shift to new platforms: Subaru is focusing on developing new hybrid and EV models using its new Global Platform, which is designed to accommodate these powertrains. The company is working with Toyota on future EV platforms to improve profitability and innovation. 
  • Manual transmission phased out: The manual transmission option was discontinued due to declining sales, as a small percentage of buyers opted for it compared to automatic transmissions. 
  • Standard Crosstrek remains available: The gasoline-powered Crosstrek continues to be a popular and available model. 
  • Future hybrid return: Subaru has stated that it will launch a new hybrid Crosstrek in the future, likely with a new hybrid system and on the new Global Platform.
