I have a great alternative for you. Unfortunately, I confirmed with Thule that the Thule Passage 3 # TH911XT will not fit your 2021 Subaru Crosstrek. With that being said, the only 3-bike trunk rack that is compatible from Thule for your vehicle is the Thule OutWay 3 # TH56BV. The newer design of the OutWay 3 includes 2 padded arms with cradle indentions and padded straps that secure bikes by the frame. In addition, the OutWay 3 include 2 straps with rubber-coated hooks let you quickly secure rack to your vehicle without damaging the finish.

If you are looking for a more economical rack that is compatible with your vehicle, I recommend the Malone Hanger Trunk Bike Rack for 3 Bikes - Adjustable Arms # MPG2139. Not only is the Hanger a more economical option than the OutWay, but it will also allow you to have the peace of mind with integrated cable locks that attach your bikes to the rack. It must be noted that the Hanger will only fit on your Crosstrek if it does not have a spoiler.

For all these options, I recommend the Thule Passive Security Strap for Trunk Mounted Bike Carriers # TH533. The passive security strap # TH533 wraps around your bike rack and installs into your truck to keep someone from taking the rack of your vehicle.
