Test-Driving The 2025 Subaru Crosstrek Wilderness

The 2025 Subaru Crosstrek Wilderness is an all-wheel-drive compact crossover that has been upgraded and enhanced to be the most rugged and off-road capable Crosstrek in the lineup—that’s impressive, as even the base Crosstrek can get most people to their campsite without unnecessary drama.

Subaru, a brand aligned with those who enjoy the outdoors, adventures, and pets, first introduced the “Wilderness” trim on its Outback and Forester in 2022. In 2024, the Crosstrek joined the Wilderness family, with the new configuration taking top position over the Base, Premium, Sport, and Limited trims.
