Design
Crosstrek is designed as a versatile compact hatchback, offering maximum capacity and capability. It is a rugged machine that offers an alluring mix of style and practicality, and Crosstrek offers plenty of advantages over other vehicles in its class. The Crosstrek has a sporty, head-turning design with an aggressive stance and bold accents in a dynamic gunmetal color.
Its 8.7-inch ground clearance provides better clearance of uneven surfaces. Crosstrek, with its 63.6-inch overall height (with crossbars installed) makes it easier for items to be removed from the roof rack system - such as bicycles, kayaks, snowboards and oversized camping equipment. In addition, off-roaders will enjoy the superb angle of approach (18 degrees) and departure (29 degrees) along with its breakover angle (19.7 degrees) when clearing rougher trails. LED Steering Responsive Headlights ensure maximum visibility on your path no matter where you turn. The performance, power and torque provided by the meticulously designed drive-train make it the best in its class on and off-road.
X-MODE with Hill Descent Control, available on Crosstrek and Premium and standard on Limited, increases traction automatically when you need it most. A dual function X-MODE is available on Sport models that gives additional settings for snow, dirt and mud. This important advanced safety and performance feature electronically optimizes every part of the drivetrain based on the condition of the slippery road or trail.
