We’re not quite done with the 2016 model announcements yet, and today Subaru has a few of its own. It has revealed pricing and updates to the 2016 Crosstrek and Impreza, and while nothing has dramatically changed, the updates to the Crosstrek were unexpected.

For the 2016 model year, the Crosstrek gets a mild visual upgrade. Its grille is bolder, thanks to a thicker strikethrough, its fascia has a new look, its front bumper has revised fog light surrounds, the headlights are shapelier and slightly stretched, and it has new 17-inch dark-grey wheels. The 2.0i Premium and higher trim levels are also treated to orange stitching on the door armrests, center console, shift-lever handle, and its new steering wheel.

On the Crosstrek Hybrid and Hybrid Touring, specifically, Subaru adds in a gloss-black grille with chrome accents.

Also new for the 2016 Crosstrek are a few safety items. These include available blind-spot detection, rear cross-traffic alert, and two new optional STARLINK safety packages on Premium and Limited trims. The STARLINK Safety Plus package adds automatic collision notification, SOS emergency service, enhanced roadside assistance, and more. The STARLINK Safety Plus & Security Plus package adds in stolen vehicle recovery service, vehicle security alarm notification, remote lock and unlock, remote horn, and a remote vehicle locator.

Inside the cabin, the 2016 Crosstrek gains nighttime illumination under the radio and PIN code access on keyless access models with push button start.
