The New 2024 Subaru Crosstrek Review

Posted on

2024 Subaru CrosstrekThe Subaru Crosstrek is an economical, tough, and fuel-efficient package designed to travel a little further off the beaten path than an Impreza hatchback, but it has never been a rock-crawling off-roader. The Crosstrek’s transition into its following generation for the 2024 model year won’t alter that. Although its look has been modified, in typical Subaru way, it hasn’t been drastically changed. The inside should continue to be as roomy and functional as the model from 2023. There is a chance—albeit a small one—that there will be other engine modifications, but Subaru hasn’t revealed those specifics for the Crosstrek sold in the United States as of yet.

The Crosstrek is a tall subcompact crossover vehicle with lots of ground clearance and black plastic body covering, much like previously. The most significant modifications are seen up front, where the sharper, thinner headlights and bigger front grille produce a more unique appearance. Additionally, according to Subaru, the amount of black plastic wrapping surrounding the wheel wells has grown.

Although we anticipate the 2017 Crosstrek to be similarly roomy and cargo-friendly to the outgoing model, Subaru claims it has enhanced seat comfort and added more sound-deadening materials to reduce noise and vibration. Although fabric upholstery is standard on most trims and leather upholstery is an option, higher-end models feature patterned inserts with silver stitching. We’ll update this article with further information as soon as we hear more about the standard and add-on features for the 2024 Crosstrek.

Photos show that the 11.6-inch infotainment display that is available in other Subaru models like the Outback station wagon and the WRX sports sedan will also be available in the 2024 Crosstrek. We anticipate the Crosstrek to receive an upgrade as well since the huge screen is an option on those models. However, it is anticipated that both Apple CarPlay and Android Auto will be standard.

2024 Subaru Crosstrek Powertrain

Subaru will offer the Crosstrek with a hybrid powertrain in Japan that consists of an electric motor and a 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine. However, no such configuration has been made available in North America as of yet. Instead, we anticipate the same engines—a 152-hp 2.0-liter four, a 182-hp 2.5-liter four, and a 148-hp plug-in hybrid—to be available in Crosstreks sold in the US. None of them have performed in a way that we would consider noteworthy. We anticipate that the manual transmission will be eliminated this time around, as the previous model had the option of a six-speed stick or a continuously variable automatic transmission (CVT).All-wheel drive will come standard, just like on the majority of previous Subaru models. We’ll update this article with additional information and driving impressions after we have an opportunity to evaluate the Crosstrek’s powertrains.

2024 Subaru Crosstrek Price & Release date

The 2024 Crosstrek is anticipated to make its North American debut soon and go on sale in 2023. Subaru hasn’t specified the price or number of trims for the 2024 Crosstrek, but we anticipate it to follow the same winning formula as the current model. Expect a beginning price of about $25,000. As features are added to higher-end models, the price will rise.
