What are the interior dimensions of the Subaru Crosstrek?
Inside the Crosstrek, the key figures to know are the cabin dimensions for both rows of seating and how much cargo you can carry. For the latest Crosstrek generation, you can expect roughly 39–40 inches of front headroom, about 41 inches of front legroom, around 38–39 inches of rear headroom, and rear legroom in the mid-30s inches, with cargo space of about 20.8 cubic feet behind the rear seats and up to 55.3 cubic feet with the rear seats folded.
The following breakdown provides a detailed look at passenger cabin dimensions and cargo capacity based on Subaru’s spec sheets for the current Crosstrek model year. Exact numbers can vary slightly by trim and configuration.
Cabin dimensions
The figures below summarize the main cabin measurements for both rows of seating.
- Front headroom: approximately 39.0–40.0 inches
- Front legroom: approximately 41.0–41.5 inches
- Front shoulder room: approximately 56.0–56.5 inches
- Front hip room: approximately 53.0–54.0 inches
- Rear headroom: approximately 38.0–39.0 inches
- Rear legroom: approximately 36.5–37.5 inches
- Rear shoulder room: approximately 54.0–55.0 inches
- Rear hip room: approximately 52.5–53.5 inches
In practice, the Crosstrek offers comfortable space for four adults on short to moderate trips, with the rear seats giving up a bit of knee room for taller passengers on longer drives.
Cargo and storage
Beyond cabin space, cargo capacity is a key factor for buyers using the Crosstrek as a compact SUV.
- Cargo capacity behind the rear seats: 20.8 cubic feet
- Maximum cargo capacity with rear seats folded: 55.3 cubic feet
These figures illustrate the Crosstrek’s practical balance between everyday usability and weekend versatility, particularly when the rear seats are folded to expand cargo area.
Notes on year and trim variations
Measurements shown here reflect the latest generation as available in Subaru’s current brochures. If you’re comparing to older Crosstrek models (for example, pre-2020 generations) or specific trims with optional equipment, verify the exact figures in the official Subaru spec sheet for your year and trim.
Summary
The Subaru Crosstrek delivers solid interior dimensions for a compact SUV: roomy front seating with comfortable head- and legroom, stepped down somewhat in the rear, and a versatile cargo area that grows from about 20.8 cubic feet behind the rear seats to 55.3 cubic feet with them folded. While numbers vary slightly by year and trim, these core figures define the Crosstrek’s everyday practicality and weekend-capable cargo capacity.
