Love Is Three Great Engine Options

Where many automakers choose a single standard engine to offer on a model, Subaru has gone in the complete opposite direction with the 2023 Crosstrek. This puts you in the driver’s seat of deciding what you want to get out of your vehicle. There is a 2.0-liter Boxer-4 engine that provides 152 horsepower and 145 lb-ft of torque, giving you exceptional fuel economy. This comes with either a six-speed manual transmission or a Lineartronic continuously variable transmission (CVT). This engine is so strong it can help your Crosstrek tow up to 1,500 pounds.

If you want a little more power, you can opt for a 2.5-liter Boxer-4 engine on your 2023 Crosstrek. This comes with a standard CVT and will deliver an impressive 182 horsepower and 176 lb-ft of torque. This will get you from 0 to 60 miles per hour in a solid 7.5 seconds.

Subaru also offers the 2023 Crosstrek with a 2.0-liter Boxer-4 Hybrid. This adds a permanent-magnet synchronous AC motor to the powertrain, powered by an 8.8-kWh nickel-metal hydride battery pack secured below the rear row of seats. This will give you exceptional fuel economy, making it ideal for a cost-conscious commuter.

Fall in Love With Exceptional Handling

The 2023 Subaru Crosstrek is a truly fun vehicle to drive. Its standard Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive system will give you exceptional traction and road holding. Unlike most other subcompact SUVs that are designed as front-wheel drive models, the Crosstrek was built from the wheels up for all-wheel drive. It even has a useful 8.7 inches of ground clearance. This design is what helps set it apart from its competitors.

There is also standard Active Torque Vectoring on the Crosstrek. This applies braking power to the inside front wheel when turning, giving you better cornering control. This will make the Crosstrek easier to handle. When combined with your choice of Boxer-4 engine and the standard electric power-assisted rack and pinion steering, you will find the Crosstrek to be a really fun vehicle to drive either on the highway or just driving around town doing your errands.

Six Different Trim Levels to Fall in Love With

Subaru adds to your options on the 2023 Crosstrek by giving you six different trims to choose from. The Base is the entry-level, with the Premium and Sport offering increased comfort and convenience features, culminating in the top trim Limited. There is also the Hybrid model, which features a hybrid powertrain. This allows you to decide on the features you love best in your Crosstrek. The newest trim is the Special Edition. It has the same basic features as the Premium model, with the addition of a Desert Khaki external paint job, 17-inch wheels, and two-tone black and red upholstery on the five seats.

Fueling Your Love With Great Gas Mileage

No one likes to spend more money than they have to. With gas prices continuing to be high nationwide, one of the best ways to save money is to buy a vehicle that is very fuel-efficient. The 2023 Subaru Crosstrek features incredible fuel economy across all three engine options.

If you choose a 2023 Crosstrek with the 2.0-liter Boxer-4 engine, you can get up to 30 MPG combined if you opt for the CVT transmission. Choosing the more powerful 2.5-liter Boxer-4 won’t hurt you when it comes to fuel economy, as it averages 29 MPG combined. Still, if you want to make sure you get the most out of each gallon of gas whenever you fill up your Crosstrek, you should opt for the Hybrid model. This averages an astonishing 90 MPGe in combined fuel economy.

Feeling Safe in Love

According to the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS), the 2023 Subaru Crosstrek is one of the safest small cars. Each year, the IIHS performs a series of safety tests on most new passenger vehicles available for sale in America. The 2023 Subaru Crosstrek was named a Top Safety Pick, particularly when it comes equipped with the EyeSight Driver Assist Technology.

All models of the 2023 Crosstrek feature the standard EyeSight system except for the Base model with the six-speed manual transmission. The EyeSight system is offered as an option on this model. This system uses forward-facing cameras and a series of sensors throughout the frame to give it real-time information. This gives you such features as Lane Keep Assist that will help you keep your Crosstrek in your lane in case you start to drift. You also get standard Pre-Collision Braking, which engages if the system detects an imminent collision. This helps you bring your Crosstrek to a safe stop, or if a collision is unavoidable, reduces the damages from the crash. All of this adds up to a vehicle that will get you and your passengers wherever you are going safely.

Stay Connected to the Ones You Love With Standard STARLINK

Subaru has equipped every 2023 Subaru Crosstrek with the STARLINK Multimedia system. This comes on a 6.5-inch high-resolution LCD touchscreen on the Base, Premium, Special Edition, and Sport models, while the Limited and Hybrid feature an eight-inch screen. You can stream your favorite apps using Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. So, if you have a Spotify, Apple Music, or Pandora cue, you can access the music you love on the STARLINK Multimedia system.

You can also stay in touch with loved ones using the hands-free Bluetooth audio streaming feature. This lets you make calls and send and receive texts while you are driving in your Crosstrek. The standard 4G LTE Wi-Fi capability on most models makes your Crosstrek a mobile hotspot. This will help your passengers surf the Internet while out on the road.
There is also SiriusXM radio and Travel Link on the STARLINK Multimedia system. This provides some of the best commercial-free music, talk, sports, and news. The 2023 Crosstrek comes with a complimentary three-month trial subscription that you will probably want to extend after you get hooked on some of the best shows on SiriusXM.
