Interior
The 2026 Subaru Crosstrek gives Missoula drivers a comfortable, practical interior designed for everyday commuting, changing Montana weather, and weekend adventures. Its compact exterior dimensions make it easy to maneuver around downtown Missoula, while the cabin provides generous passenger space and flexible cargo capacity for groceries, outdoor equipment, luggage, and everyday gear.
With the rear seats folded, the Crosstrek offers up to 54.9 cubic feet of cargo space, giving you room for camping equipment, skis, hiking gear, bikes, or everything needed for a weekend outside Western Montana. A wide rear cargo opening and low load height also make it easier to load larger items when heading toward the Bitterroot Valley, Flathead Lake, or the mountains surrounding Missoula.
Comfort features vary by trim, with available heated front seats, upgraded upholstery, a heated steering wheel, and other amenities that can make cold Montana mornings considerably more comfortable.
Rear-seat passengers benefit from useful headroom and legroom, making the Crosstrek practical for couples, families, students, and active drivers who regularly bring passengers along. Durable interior materials and flexible seating also make the cabin well suited for the mud, snow, outdoor gear, and changing conditions that come with year-round driving in Western Montana.
Exterior
Rugged without feeling oversized, the 2026 Crosstrek combines athletic proportions with practical capability. Standard ground clearance helps provide extra confidence on snow-covered streets, gravel roads, trailhead access roads, and uneven terrain while maintaining the maneuverability drivers want from a compact SUV.
Sport models add distinctive exterior accents and 18-inch wheels, while the Crosstrek Wilderness takes the design further with 9.3 inches of ground clearance, matte-black wheels, all-terrain tires, protective cladding, and a trail-focused exterior built for exploring beyond the pavement.
Performance
Every 2026 Crosstrek gas model is powered by a 2.5-liter direct-injection SUBARU BOXER® engine producing 180 horsepower and 178 lb-ft of torque. Its horizontally opposed design helps create a low center of gravity, while standard Subaru Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive continuously delivers traction and stability for changing road and weather conditions.
That combination makes the Crosstrek particularly well suited to Western Montana, where a sunny drive through Missoula can quickly turn into snow, gravel, elevation changes, or rougher terrain.
For drivers who regularly head beyond maintained roads, the Crosstrek Wilderness adds 9.3 inches of ground clearance, enhanced drivetrain gearing, all-terrain tires, dual-function X-MODE®, and up to 3,500 pounds of towing capacity.

Depending on trim, available features include wireless device charging, premium audio, MySubaru® Connected Services, Blind-Spot Detection, Rear Cross-Traffic Alert, and Subaru DriverFocus® Distraction Mitigation System.
Whether you're navigating downtown Missoula or setting out on a longer Montana road trip, the Crosstrek provides technology designed to make the drive easier without overcomplicating it.
Safety
