Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive
Inherent to the performance of the Subaru Crosstrek is the innate sense of balance delivered by the combination of Subaru's Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive (AWD) system and symmetrical drivetrain. By distributing engine power across all four wheels simultaneously, Symmetrical AWD effectively doubles the traction capacity of the Subaru Crosstrek - compared to two-wheel drive vehicles. The result? Better grip when under acceleration for superior cornering control, sharper steering response, increased handling stability for better collision avoidance and superior confidence under all conditions, on all road surfaces and in all terrains.
Heart and Soul
Having rigorously honed the all-new Subaru Crosstrek to help you move to the beat of your own drum, the creators were unanimous that some things remained sacrosanct.
The heart and soul of the all-new Subaru Crosstrek owes its vitality to the intersection of two irreplaceable forces - the iconic horizontally-opposed Boxer engine and Symmetrical AWD system. Designed to sit lower and flatter in the engine bay than traditional engines, the 2.0-litre Direct Injection Boxer engine's unique design delivers less noise and vibration to the cabin, while the low center of gravity improves stability, cornering, and traction with the road.
The robust and dynamic Subaru Crosstrek power unit has been tweaked to help reduce vibrations, in line with Subaru Crosstrek's philosophy to embed a human-centred design approach to support superior passenger comfort.
Ground clearance*for epic adventures
The all-new Subaru Crosstrek is an SUV built to take on memorable outdoor adventures. A distinct advantage over its competitors, is Subaru Crosstrek's 220mm ground clearance* that allows it to safely negotiate deep ruts and irregular road surfaces to take you further.
A more lively Lineartronic® CVT
Driveability, engine response and enjoyment on all-new Subaru Crosstrek petrol models has been further improved with over 80% of components being revised, and by also increasing the gear ratio coverage range of the Lineartronic® CVT (Continuously Variable Transmission). The linear nature of the transmission delivers a smoother ride, as it eliminates shocks when changing gears and allows the engine to run quieter.
The 7-speed manual mode in the previous Subaru XV has now been increased on the all-new Subaru Crosstrek to 8-speed paddle-shift manual mode*, in petrol variants, to improve overall driveability.
X-mode confidence
Activated at the touch of a button, X-Mode is standard across the Subaru Crosstrek range, enhances off-road driving adventures by delivering traction in response to the conditions. Once activated, X-Mode's intelligent electronic system constantly monitors the traction available to each wheel and centralises the control of key components including the engine, transmission and brakes to help manage slippery conditions.
Choose the setting to match your road or trail conditions with the choice of two different modes available in the Subaru Crosstrek AWD 2.0R, Crosstrek AWD 2.0S and Crosstrek AWD Hybrid S. Select Deep Snow & Mud mode to tackle mud and snow or Snow & Dirt mode for slippery snow-covered roads, black ice, gravel and unpaved surfaces such as riverbeds and pebbles.
Intelligent hybrid technology
Get the best of both worlds with the all-new Subaru Crosstrek Hybrid variants. Powered by Subaru's robust e-Boxer, these SUVs incorporates a 2.0-litre direct injection petrol Boxer engine in the front of the vehicle and an electric motor inbuilt within the rear of the CVT.
The responsive drive benefits from impressive low speed response and torque, while Subaru Motor Assist automatically combines both power sources under certain conditions to improve the driving experience. These hybrid models feature a high voltage (118.4 volt) battery located under the rear cargo floor.
