The all new Subaru XV Crosstrek incorporates numerous body and chassis enhancements for its expanded capability mission. Black side- and wheel-arch cladding, rocker spoiler and roof rails provide a rugged contrast to the body color. The higher ride height, roof spoiler and unique-design 17-inch wheels bolster the Subaru XV Crosstrek model’s go-anywhere stance and attitude. Front and rear bumpers and the front grille are unique to the Subaru XV Crosstrek, and dark-tint privacy glass is standard.
The rugged styling is backed up by function, as the four-wheel independent suspension features a raised configuration in the Subaru XV Crosstrek. The new crossover model’s 8.7 inches of ground clearance is higher than for most other crossovers and even some dedicated SUVs. The Subaru XV all-wheel drive system provides all-weather traction and performance.
The standard Subaru Lineartronic CVT provides infinite variability between the highest and lowest available ratios with no discernable steps or shifts.
The CVT continuously and smoothly adapts to performance demand, helping to keep the engine in its most efficient operating range.
