The all-new reengineered and redesigned 2018 Subaru Crosstrek dares you to tackle the road less travelled. Armed with a more powerful SUBARU BOXER engine, a more robust platform, a more efficient CVT transmission, improved handling and greater capability overall, this crossover lets you go anywhere your heart desires — and beyond. Versatile, agile and accommodating, the new Crosstrek is now even better equipped to help you plan bigger adventures, have irreplaceable experiences and gather unforgettable memories.
Key Benefits
Capability
Of course, the new Crosstrek features the legendary Subaru symmetrical full-time AWD system and a healthy 221 mm of ground clearance as standard equipment. But models equipped with the CVT now also boast X-Mode, a system that brings the Crosstrek greater all-road capability, more rugged performance and elevated driving confidence, especially on uneven surfaces or challenging inclines and declines.
Versatility
Versatility comes standard on the new Crosstrek courtesy of the all-road/all-weather Subaru symmetrical AWD system. But versatility is also about meeting the needs of the driver and passengers. The new interior is more spacious and the cargo-carrying capacity is boosted further with the addition of standard roof rails. All things considered, this Crosstrek is (re)designed to go more places in more comfort and make more memories along the way.
Ride Quality
The ultra-strong Subaru Global Platform creates increased levels of crashworthiness, but also sets the stage for sharper handling and heightened ride comfort. As a result, the Crosstrek is a sporty, agile crossover that still manages to feel stable and composed out on the open road. This level of refinement is reflected in the passenger cabin, which features better sound insulation for a quieter ride.
Safety
Armed with the new state-of-the-art Subaru Global Platform engineered for superior rigidity and crashworthiness, the Crosstrek takes safety to a whole new level. This robust starting point is further strengthened by available class-leading active safety systems, including the EyeSight®advanced driver-assist system, Blind Spot Detection and Reverse Automatic Braking. Now even better equipped to tackle the rough-and-tumble urban jungle, the new Crosstrek delivers increased confidence behind the wheel.
Infotainment
The world of entertainment, information and connectivity has never been easier to access — or enjoy. The new Crosstrek comes equipped with either a 6.5-inch or 8-inch high-resolution, multi-gesture touchscreen that gives fingertip control over available special apps and services, including news, weather, music and other multimedia content. The system is Apple CarPlay and Android Auto compatible and, through the STARLINK Smart Access platform, lets you explore the open road while connected to the cloud with your smartphone.
Value
The 2018 Subaru Crosstrek offers a wealth of desirable standard features, including Subaru symmetrical full-time All-Wheel Drive, Apple CarPlay, Android Auto and a rearview camera. One of the most affordable AWD crossovers in Canada, the Crosstrek is also a class-leader in terms of reliability, durability and sheer value. In fact, Subaru was recently named the Best Mainstream Brand for residual value by the ALG1 for the third year in a row.
