Does the Subaru Crosstrek have power seats?
The Crosstrek does offer power-adjustable seats, but only on higher-trim models; the base model uses manual seating.
In practice, if you want a driver’s seat that can be moved with power, you’ll typically need to move up from the base trim to at least the Premium, with the Sport and Limited trims commonly featuring an 8-way power-adjustable driver’s seat. Availability can vary by model year and market, so always verify the exact configuration on the window sticker or brochure for the year you’re considering.
Seat adjustment by trim
The following breakdown covers typical configurations for recent Crosstrek models. Features can vary by year and region, so check the specific model year’s brochure for the most accurate details.
- Base: Manual driver's seat (no power adjustment).
- Premium: Power driver's seat (8-way adjustability).
- Sport: Power driver's seat (8-way adjustability).
- Limited: Power driver's seat (8-way adjustability), often paired with leather upholstery and heated front seats.
In short, you’ll find power seats starting on the Premium trim and continuing on the higher trims, with the common expectation of 8-way adjustability on Sport and Limited.
Other comfort features to consider
Beyond power adjustment, Crosstrek trims may vary in seat material (cloth vs leather) and the availability of heated front seats. Higher trims typically offer heated seating and upgraded upholstery, while lower trims focus on practical comfort with cloth seating.
Summary: The Subaru Crosstrek does offer power-adjustable seats, but only on mid-to-high trims. If you want a power driver’s seat, plan on choosing Premium or higher, and confirm the exact configuration for your model year.
