Performance and Features of the Subaru Crosstrek

If you are looking for a new Subaru that is great for carving up city roads of Lake Forest and for adventuring down a country trail in Irvine, then you need to check out the new Subaru Crosstrek. It is an incredibly convenient crossover SUV that is just as comfortable on the dirt as it is on the pavement.

Performance

One of the standout performance features on the Crosstrek is the standard symmetrical all-wheel-drive system. This system makes it so the Crosstrek can conquer any terrain you can throw at it when you are crossing Orange County.

The Crosstrek is powered by a 2.0-liter Boxer 4-cylinder engine that makes 152 horsepower and 145 pound-feet of torque which allows the Crosstrek to tow up to 1500 pounds.

You can also get the Crosstrek with a plug-in hybrid powertrain if you are looking for a green option. The hybrid can travel up to 17 miles on pure electric power alone and has a total range of 480 miles between fill-ups. The standard Crosstrek gets a respectable 27 mpg city and 33 mpg highway, but the hybrid can get an estimated 90 MPGe making it the best option for driving around Anaheim.

Technology

If you plan on doing some touring in your Crosstrek, then you will love all of the tech features you can find in the interior. The interior of the Crosstrek is incredibly spacious, as it has a passenger volume of 100.9 cubic feet. That is more than enough room to fit all of your gear for a weekend on the trails.

You will stay entertained on all of your trips with the eight-speaker Harman Kardon sound system. This high-quality sound system is incredibly easy to control through the 8-inch Subaru Starlink multimedia system. Starlink multimedia interface can be fitted with all sorts of apps to make driving as convenient as possible.

Apps like Apple CarPlay and Android Auto keep you connected, while Pandora and Sirus XM integration will keep you entertained the whole way. The Crosstrek can even be fitted with a wifi hotspot to keep all of your devices connected on a long adventure. All of these features help to make sure no one gets bored on a cross country road trip.

Safety Features

The Crosstrek is also packed full of features to keep you safe while you go on your adventures. Features like the blind-spot detection system and rear cross-traffic alert give you a better view of your surroundings. The rear-vision camera and reverse automatic braking ensure that you won't back up into any vehicles or pedestrians that happen to walk into your blind spot while backing up.

The Crosstrek even comes with headlights that can shine in different directions when you are turning to give you the best possible view at night on the streets of Tustin. The headlights even come with a high beam assist feature that will automatically toggle the high beams on and off, so you don't accidentally blind other Laguna Niguel drivers.

The Crosstrek uses advanced radar sensors to allow the vehicle to automatically detect when an accident is imminent and to apply the brakes to avoid the accident or to lessen the severity. Features like these help to keep everyone safer on the road.

Crosstrek Trims

The Crosstrek comes in four different trim levels, which makes it easy to get the Crosstrek with all of the features you care about. The first trim level is the 2.0i. It comes with the symmetrical AWD system along with STARLINK and 17-inch alloy wheels.

Next up is the 2.0i Premium. This model comes with all of the features of the 2.0i along with having a leather-wrapped steering wheel, fog lights, and the all-weather package. The last standard trim is the 2.0i Limited which comes with a full leather interior, larger 18-inch alloy wheels, and the modern LED headlights. The Hybrid comes with a special interior and it can be optioned with most of the features of the other trims.
