Why Buy a 2023 Subaru Crosstrek?

The Subaru Crosstrek is an interesting vehicle because it's halfway between a hatchback and a compact SUV, allowing it to combine the benefits of both. Here's why you should consider it.

Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive

Like all Subaru vehicles (except the BRZ), the 2023 Crosstrek comes standard with the symmetrical all-wheel drive system that the brand has been known for years. This system is one of the most competent in the category since it is a constant drive system, meaning that the engine's power is always transmitted to all four wheels. This eliminates the response time of temporary systems that must react to a loss of traction before activating the rear axle, and it also improves the vehicle's stability even on dry pavement. In addition to improving its off-road and winter capabilities, Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive makes the Crosstrek safer in deteriorating road conditions.

Interior Space

The 2023 Subaru Crosstrek is a very spacious compact vehicle with more passenger space than most of its competitors. In fact, front passengers enjoy up to 1,011 millimetres of headroom, 1,095 millimetres of legroom and 1,440 millimetres of shoulder room. Rear passengers also benefit from 1,412 millimetres of shoulder room, making the Crosstrek more comfortable over long distances. Cargo space is also generous as this model has 589 litres of space behind the rear seat and up to 1,569 litres behind the front seats.

EyeSight technology

The 2023 Subaru Crosstrek is equipped with Subaru's EyeSight driver assistance technology. This system combines adaptive cruise control, lane departure warning, collision warning and pre-collision acceleration management to provide a higher level of safety than most other vehicles in its class. The latter system uses the radar and the front camera to prevent the vehicle from accelerating when an obstacle is in its path. Thanks to EyeSight technology and its good performance in all crash tests, the Subaru Crosstrek has been rated Top Safety Pick + by the IIHS in 2022.
