Performance

The 2024 Subaru Crosstrek is the ideal compact SUV for those looking to maximize performance and options. Its engine bay provides a range of choices, from an efficient 2.0-liter four-cylinder base model up to the powerful 2.4-liter option on higher trims, delivering power in any situation. These engines are perfect for drivers who desire versatility in their ride's capabilities without sacrificing quality or top-level performance.

What Powertrain Options Are Available on the 2024 Crosstrek?

The 2024 Crosstrek features two Subaru Boxer engine options. The base model of the 2024 Crosstrek comes equipped with a reliable 2.0L four-cylinder that produces 152 horsepower, while sportier and higher trim levels boast an upgraded 182 horsepower 2.5-liter motor for added performance on the roads. With the new Crosstrek model, drivers must rely exclusively on a slick continuously variable transmission (CVT) gearbox for their transmission needs. Every Crosstrek trim comes standard with all-wheel drive, as is the signature of Subaru.

The 2024 Crosstrek is designed for maneuverability, making turning corners a breeze. With its short wheelbase and new features like active torque vectoring and dual-pinion electric power steering rack taken from the WRX, drivers can experience speedy response times when taking tight turns or parking in or pulling out of small spaces with ease. This level of responsiveness is a significant step from last year's model.

Will the 2024 Crosstrek Go Off-Road?

The Crosstrek outshines competitor crossovers when it comes to off-roading. It has an impressive 8.7 inches of ground clearance and features such as hill-descent control and hill start assist, making tackling steep terrain a breeze. The new Crosstrek chassis is 10% stiffer than its predecessor, achieved by improved welding practices and additional structural adhesives. As a result of this added strength, engineers reduced spring rates in the suspension for an optimized ride without compromising on dynamic performance.

Subaru's Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive system has taken its exceptional performance to new heights in the latest Crosstrek lineup. Offering features like user-selectable X-Mode, Hill Descent Control, active torque vectoring, and faster response times from differentials, this all-wheel drive is ready for any terrain or driving situation. The Crosstrek offers security on tricky roads with its X-MODE for superior traction in slippery conditions, from deep snow to mud or dirt. A dual-setting mode also lets drivers customize the experience even further.

Off-roading can be daunting, but the Crosstrek's progressive steering and comfortable ride on varied terrain prove its multi-terrain abilities. This vehicle provides drivers with ultimate control over their driving experience. No matter what road conditions you find yourself in––from gravel to sand––your wheels will stay firmly planted for an enjoyable journey every time.

Interior

Subcompact SUVs offer great value for their price, offering increased interior space and better performance features than sedans and smaller vehicles. Comfort is also enhanced by the ease of entry into the cabin and improved driving capabilities. Even with a crossover, drivers want reliable performance and enough space to carry whatever cargo is necessary. As a car that appeals to weekend adventurers, the 2024 Subaru Crosstrek provides comfortable seating, interior conveniences, and plenty of room for kayaks, hiking equipment, and camping supplies.

Roomy Cabin and Accessible Cargo Space

The Crosstrek's interior has seen some exciting improvements, including newly-designed front seats mounted directly to the chassis for reduced body movement. These ergonomic enhancements bring improved pelvic support that maximizes comfort and reduces fatigue on long drives. The seats make for a great value while offering more comfort than competitors at this price point. Although interior decorations look stylish, they're crafted from hard plastics, saving you money without sacrificing quality.

The 2024 Crosstrek may have a compact exterior, but don't let that fool you. This crossover packs a surprisingly roomy interior with up to 120.4 cubic feet of total space available. The Crosstrek has enough room for a getaway adventure: 20 cubic feet of space with all five seats occupied and 55 cubic feet when the back row is folded down. That leaves plenty of extra room for more oversized items such as sports equipment or camping gear. The newly updated roof rack offers the Crosstrek more carrying power, capable of hauling up to 176 pounds when driving and a whopping 700 pounds for those times you park with an overhead tent.

Updated, Modern Trim Interior Features

The interior of the Subaru might have a no-frills aesthetic, but it does come with some variety. Leather upholstery can be added as an option for those seeking comfort and luxury. At the same time, all trims feature cloth seating, with higher-end models having patterned inserts plus stylish silver stitching detail. With their deep pockets, the front doors are perfect for keeping your water bottle and other items secure during your outing.

Tech Features for Drivers and Passengers

For the 2024 Crosstrek, drivers can expect a new level of in-vehicle tech features and comfort. An available 11.6-inch vertically oriented touchscreen hub for Starlink multimedia system controls is located directly on the center stack on higher trim levels. These higher trims feature wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto capabilities, a wireless phone charger, and heated front seats. Base and lower trim levels come with a 7.0-inch touchscreen to access infotainment and climate settings. Subaru sought to please both traditionalists and modern users by equipping cars with the familiar tactile control of buttons for commonly used features and touchscreen menus offering additional navigation possibilities.

Safety

The Subaru Crosstrek is making strides in innovation and safety with the EyeSight Driver Assist Technology suite as a standard feature across its entire lineup for 2024. This advanced suite of technology was previously unavailable on manual transmission models but has now been made available due to technological advances. This year, the 2024 Crosstrek model comes with the all-new Automatic Emergency Steering, a safety feature designed to help avoid collisions at speeds lower than 50 mph. This system provides steering adjustments and automatic braking support when you are in danger of being in a collision.

What the EyeSight Suite Brings to the Table

Crosstrek drivers can have the added protection of Blind-Spot Detection with Lane Keep Assist and Rear Cross-Traffic Alert on the higher trim levels. Lane Keep Assist is made up of lane-centering tech that can adjust steering, braking, and throttle control, which is perfect for both urban drives and road trips. EyeSight also makes roads even safer for cyclists and pedestrians because this innovative safety system can detect them from further away than before through its Pre-Collision Braking feature. This system includes Advanced Adaptive Cruise Control with Lane Centering, which makes driving stress-free and much safer.

The Crosstrek offers the latest safety technology with its standard Rear-Vision Camera, providing a more precise view when reversing. If needed, your vehicle can even apply Reverse Automatic Braking to help keep obstacles out of harm's way as you back up. Subaru's newest Crosstrek model is perfect for adventurers who want to maintain comfort, safety, and refinement.
