Starting in 2022, each Crosstrek model started to look very similar to the last. The differences between this model and its previous 2021 version — as well as its 2023 successor — are virtually nonexistent, sharing pretty much every feature and option. Despite this, it still manages to reach a higher resale value, scoring 83/100, and its price climbs as high as nearly $29,000 for a used model. Purely from a standpoint of price, the 2022 model outdoes the 2021 Crosstrek, making it a much better choice for sellers in the used market.
Of course, the similarities between the 2022 and 2021 Crosstrek models reveal the biggest “problem” with resale value. If you’re looking to buy one of these used models, a 2021 Crosstrek might be a much better choice in the long run due to its lower price and lack of differences. There are obviously other factors to consider, such as the condition of each used car itself, but care should be taken before jumping straight into the most recent model your budget can afford. This applies not just to the 2022 model, but to the one that came right after it as well.
