Go-Anywhere Design

The Crosstrek is a rugged little SUV with a ground clearance of at least 8.7 inches. The more robust Wilderness trim increases the ground clearance to 9.3 inches, allowing the Crosstrek to venture off the pavement and easily maneuver around rocky obstacles and bumpy trails. The Crosstrek also makes the most of its smaller dimensions, creating space for up to five passengers and cargo in the rear hold, which is accessible through a convenient rear liftgate.

Off-Road Performance & Capabilities

You don't have to pay extra for off-road worthiness in the Subaru Crosstrek. Not only does it have an elevated ground clearance, higher than any competitor, but symmetrical all-wheel drive is a standard feature included in every model, including the entry-level trim level. Most other manufacturers ask you to pay more for all-wheel drive. All-wheel drive improves traction and handling, which is especially helpful when encountering uneven or slippery surfaces. The traction automatically adjusts to provide stability without driver input.

Technology

Get ready to be impressed with the Subaru Crosstrek's incredible technology features. Standard on all but the base model is a massive 11.6-inch touchscreen infotainment system. Included are staples like Apple CarPlay© and Android Auto™ for effortless smartphone connectivity and safe access to your favorite apps on the road. The touchscreen features large, user-friendly icons to help reduce driver distractions. Top competitors like the Chevy Trax, Mazda CX-30, and Volkswagen Taos all have smaller infotainment displays.

Safety

You don't have to pay extra for peace of mind in the Crosstrek. Not only does the standard all-wheel drive offer inherent safety with better traction and handling, but the Subaru EyeSight suite helps mitigate accidents and other hazards with a sophisticated network of sensors and cameras. The driver assistance and safety features reduce driver fatigue and automatically apply brakes when a nearby hazard is detected. While most competitors consider adaptive cruise control an optional upgrade, it's a standard feature in the Crosstrek. Adaptive cruise control adjusts the speed when the vehicle is in cruise control to maintain a safe distance behind other vehicles.

Reliability

You may have heard that 96 percent of Subaru vehicles sold in the past ten years are still on the roads today. According to Experian Automotive, Subaru vehicles are reliable enough to go the distance and last long after most people keep their vehicles. Subaru models like the Subaru Crosstrek are well known for their reliability and impeccable safety standards.
