Crossover SUVs have become incredibly popular, and the Subaru Crosstrek makes it easy to see why! It has the car-like handling, smaller footprint, and higher ground clearance that make crossovers popular, but that's just where it starts. It also adds Subaru quality and capable all-wheel drive.
At Hanson Subaru, we want to tell you more about the cars and SUVs we carry. Below, we go into greater detail on just what makes the Subaru Crosstrek such a perfect example of what a crossover should be. When you're ready to experience one for yourself, head to the dealership for a test drive.
Design & Comfort: 2020 Subaru Crosstrek
As a crossover SUV, the Subaru Crosstrek has a relatively small footprint that's perfect for city driving. However, its interior is also quite roomy, with 100.9 cubic feet of passenger volume and 20.8 cubic feet of cargo space when all the seats are in place. This cargo area comes with two grocery bag hooks and four tie-down hooks, and you can add a rear cargo tray and a retractable/removable cargo-area cover. Lower the 60/40-split folding rear seats and you'll get up to 55.3 cubic feet of cargo space! The standard roof rails let you carry even more, while also freeing up interior space.
The interior of the Subaru Crosstrek is designed with comfort features that go beyond just its spaciousness. The standard cloth seating is comfortable and elegant, or you can upgrade to leather-trimmed upholstery with orange stitching. The standard automatic climate control system keeps you and your passengers at the perfect temperature, while available heated front seats provide even more comfort.
Technology: 2020 Subaru Crosstrek
The Subaru Crosstrek is filled with technology designed to keep you connected. A front-seat USB input port is standard, and you can upgrade to dual front-seat and dual-rear seat USB ports. 4G LTE Wi-Fi® capability is available to keep you even better connected, and the standard 4-speaker audio system can be upgraded to an 8-speaker Harman Kardon® system.
The entry-level Subaru Crosstrek comes with a STARLINK® Multimedia system with 6.5-inch touchscreen. This system includes connectivity through Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™, as well as Bluetooth® audio streaming and a 3.5mm auxiliary jack. The upgraded STARLINK® Multimedia Plus system adds features like SiriusXM® All Access Radio, while the available Multimedia Navigation system adds an 8-inch touchscreen and voice-activated controls.
Safety Ratings & Crashworthiness: 2020 Subaru Crosstrek
Subaru is known for its safety, and the 2020 Crosstrek is an excellent example of this. It earned a perfect five-star overall safety rating from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. It's new Subaru Global Platform combines high-strength steel with advanced engineering to reducing noise, vibration, and harshness, while also protecting you and your family in an accident. The advanced airbags also provide exceptional protection; there's even a driver's knee airbag!
Crash Avoidance Features: 2020 Subaru Crosstrek
Making a vehicle that will protect you in case of a crash is great, but a crossover SUV that makes that helps avoid crashes altogether? That's even better. The Subaru Crosstrek is one such vehicle, with standard features like daytime running lights, vehicle dynamics control, a traction control system, and standard Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive. All these features make it easier to stay in control of your Subaru, even when the conditions are bad. Of course, the Crosstrek also has another trick up its sleeve.
Even at the entry level, the Subaru Crosstrek lets you add available EyeSight® driver assist technology. This suite of safety features includes adaptive cruise control, lane departure/sway warning, pre-collision braking, and lane keep assist. What's more, the latest Subaru Crosstrek is available with features like high beam assist, blind-spot detection, and rear cross-traffic alert.
Performance: 2020 Subaru Crosstrek
We mentioned the Subaru Global Platform and the Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive before. They're important here, too. They make the ride both smooth and capable, along with the four-wheel independent raised suspension. With 8.7 inches of ground clearance, the Subaru Crosstrek is prepared to handle rugged roads. Other available off-road features make the Subaru Crosstrek even better capable of handling adventures off the beaten path.
Of course, we can't talk performance without mentioning the engine! The Crosstrek is powered by a SUBARU BOXER® engine that generates 152 horsepower and 145 pound-feet of torque. This engine is paired with a 6-speed manual transmission at the entry level, and a Lineartronic® CVT automatic transmission is an available upgrade. When you choose the automatic, the Subaru Crosstrek can get up to 33 miles per gallon!
