2017 Subaru Crosstrek

The newly released Subaru Crosstrek, at its core, is the Subaru Impreza with a tougher suspension and higher clearance.  It offers all-wheel drive, a fuel efficient four cylinder engine, and a roomy interior and cargo area. If you’d normally need a truck or tall SUV for outdoor activities or hindering weather, the Crosstrek could be a fresh alternative that meets your needs and provides additional comfort and safety that can otherwise be hard to come by in a utility centered segment.

If your adventurous heart desires a little luxury- the Crosstrek can easily be outfitted to meet your preferred level of comfort. The interior has a fairly simple and malleable layout. Optional adjustments include a personalized control center, available leather appointed seats and steering wheel, and striking contrast stitching. The versatility of the interior is one of the Crosstreks most useful and innovative new features. The exterior design is at first that of a sedan, with a sleekly detailed fascia and hood and an aerodynamic shape. However, the Crosstrek has more rugged appeal than a sedan with its high clearance and stout tires.

One engine is available in the 2017 Crosstrek, a 2.0-liter flat-four rated at 148 hp and 145 lb-ft of torque mated to either a five-speed manual or a continuously variable automatic transmission (CVT). Subarus unique Boxer engine sits low in the frame- allowing for a lower center of gravity for improved response and enhanced protection over the passenger area. The Crosstrek is also one of the most fuel efficient small crossovers available- rated at 26/34 mpg city/highway with the CVT and 23/31 mpg with the manual.

Standard features on the 2017 Crosstrek include a rearview camera, Subaru’s Starlink multimedia interface with a 6.2-inch touchscreen, fog lights, a rear spoiler, 60/40 split-folding rear seats,  Available features on higher trim levels include leather upholstery, heated front seats, a Harman Kardon audio system, and the Starlink infotainment system with a larger seven-inch touchscreen and navigation.

The Subaru Crosstrek literally looks down the road for you thanks to its EyeSight safety system. Using two cameras, EyeSight can interpret objects directly ahead of the car, allowing for adaptive cruise control, lane-departure warning, and collision warning and mitigation. NHTSA has given the 2017 Crosstrek a 5 Star overall safety score (out of a possible five stars). In IIHS testing, the crossover received a Top Safety Pick+ rating after receiving a Good score in all crash tests. The car also received a Superior rating on the crash prevention and mitigation test.

The Subaru Crosstrek is a fuel efficient crossover SUV that offers a refreshing alternative to the majority of off road capable vehicles. It’s easy to park and maneuver, all-wheel drive is standard, it offers plenty of clearance, and has an impressive suite of safety features as well.
