Detailed description
SUBARU BOXER 2.0L engine - Subaru's signature
The SUBARU BOXER 2.0L four-cylinder H4 flat is the soul of the Crosstrek. Three major technical advantages: (1) LOWERED center of gravity for improved handling and reduced body roll; (2) intrinsic balance minimizes vibrations without artificial counterweights; (3) recognized longevity - Subaru Boxer engines easily exceed 300,000 km with regular maintenance. 148 hp / 145 lb-ft, paired with Lineartronic CVT, economical consumption ~10.7 / 8.1 L/100 km city/highway per NRCan.
Symmetrical Full-Time AWD - winter reference
Subaru's symmetrical permanent AWD is UNIQUE in the industry. All powertrain components aligned on the vehicle's longitudinal centerline for perfect weight distribution. Combined with center differential and symmetrical transfer case, superior traction in all conditions. Unlike automatically-engaging AWD (Honda CR-V, Toyota RAV4, Mazda CX-5) that transfers torque to rear wheels ONLY when front wheels slip, the Subaru system sends power to all 4 wheels CONTINUOUSLY - no engagement lag on ice or steep snowy hills.
220 mm ground clearance - authentic SUV
220 mm (8.7 inches) clearance exceeds sedans (130-150 mm) and many competing subcompact SUVs (Mazda CX-3 at 155 mm, Honda HR-V at 196 mm). Drive through snow banks, traverse poorly-maintained roads without scraping, cross fields or ranch lanes.

FAQ
