The gasoline Crosstrek in current production uses a 16.9-gallon tank; the Crosstrek Hybrid uses about 11.9 gallons. This article breaks down the capacities by configuration and notes year-to-year variations.
Overview of tank capacity
In most recent models, Subaru lists the Crosstrek with a 16.9-gallon tank (64 L) for the gasoline version. The hybrid variant uses a smaller tank to accommodate its battery and electric drive, typically around 12 gallons.
Note that exact figures can vary slightly by model year and market. The following figures are representative for U.S.-spec Crosstrek models across recent generations.
- Non-hybrid gasoline Crosstrek: 16.9 gallons (64 L)
- Crosstrek Hybrid: approximately 11.9–12.0 gallons (45–46 L)
These capacities influence driving range estimates under different driving conditions and fuel economy outcomes.
Practical implications for range
With a typical highway mpg around 30–34 mpg for the gasoline Crosstrek, a full 16.9-gallon tank can yield roughly 510–570 miles, depending on conditions. The hybrid’s smaller tank reduces potential range, but its overall efficiency can offset some of that in city and stop-and-go driving.
Notes by model year
To avoid confusion across generations, here are approximate ranges by generation and variant:
- Third-generation Crosstrek (2018–present, gasoline): 16.9 gallons
- Crosstrek Hybrid (various years including recent updates): ~11.9–12.0 gallons
For precise capacity, refer to the owner’s manual or the official Subaru specs for your exact model year and trim.
Summary
In short, a current Subaru Crosstrek gasoline model holds about 16.9 gallons of fuel, while the Crosstrek Hybrid carries roughly 12 gallons. Always verify for your specific year and trim due to small variations.
