Maximum cargo space is a little underwhelming compared to what you get from a more squared-off SUV, but it should still be sufficient for most people - Edmunds
The interior of the 2020 Subaru Crosstrek is plain and uncomplicated, to the point of being dull for some. The absence of quality materials may be visible and expected on the base trim. However, on the Limited trim, the adoption of a minimalistic approach with better materials enhances the premium appeal of the interior. Some faux-carbon-fiber elements and leather upholstery, as well as orange stitching, are visible, and this, along with a superb combination, elevates the interior a bit. Ergonomics and overall visibility are also well-sorted, and every knob and button is within an arm’s reach.
The 2020 Crosstrek offers 60/40 split-folding rear seats and behind the rear offers a commendable 20.8 cu. ft amount of area to fit your bags. Overall, the Subaru has the best first-row accommodation in the class, with plenty of head and legroom, with only the Honda coming close in the second-row room. On the Limited trim, you get heated and power-adjustable front row seats and the moonroof comes as an optional. There are ample storage spaces all over the cabin, and storing bigger items is easy with the large glovebox.
For both the front and rear rows, the Subaru Crosstrek has more interior space than most of the cars in the segment. It also has more cargo space than its competitors. However, it falls short of Honda in terms of second-row legroom and cargo space. All the crossovers in the competition come with a seating capacity of 5.
Standout interior features include:
- Heated Front Seats
- Leather Upholstery with Orange Stitching
- Optional Moonroof
- Automatic Climate Control
- 6-way driver and 4-way passenger manual adjustable seats

You get a 6.5-inch standard Starlink infotainment system on the Base Crosstrek, and this works in cohesion with 2 more displays to provide overall information. The drivers’ screen has basic information along with the gauges and can be used to switch between vehicle settings. The infotainment system feels easy to use with large icons, and browsing through the menu feels like a cakewalk.
The central panel helps you control the climate, check the weather, navigation, and control media. On the Limited trim, this can be expanded to an 8.0-inch system along with a 6 speaker stereo system. The system gets all basic features as standard, including Android Auto and Apple CarPlay, SiriusXM radio, USB ports, and Bluetooth. The system covers the basics, is easy to navigate, and might feel dated but does the job easily.
