Sleeker Design and Refined Cabin

Spy shots and early renderings indicate that the 2026 Crosstrek Hybrid will receive a refreshed exterior design with a bolder front grille, new LED lighting, and updated aerodynamic lines. Inside, expect a more premium feel with improved materials, increased sound insulation, and a larger available infotainment display.

Subaru is also rumored to be expanding customization options and interior color choices, giving drivers in The Villages more ways to personalize their hybrid SUV.
