Subaru Australia‘s national retailer network has commenced taking orders for the all-new Subaru Crosstrek small SUV ahead of its anticipated market launch in April.
Priced from $34,990, the Subaru Crosstrek AWD range comprises five variants, including three petrol – 2.0L, 2.0R and 2.0S – and two hybrid, Hybrid L and Hybrid S.
Owners of the Crosstrek will enjoy a small yet highly capable SUV that features a multitude of the latest infotainment technologies and intuitive safety systems according to the manufacturer.
Subaru says it has well and truly made its presence known with the all-new Crosstrek, presenting a much bolder exterior design with dynamic styling which conveys reliability as a crossover SUV whilst also resembling the vehicle’s fun and versatile personality.
“The Subaru Crosstrek has real SUV credentials; it can zip through urban streets throughout the week and take you off-the-beaten track on the weekend. This is not a jacked up small car; this is a small SUV with real capability,” Subaru Australia managing director Blair Read says.
“Underpinned by the Subaru Global Platform, drivability and comfort have improved for this new generation model, offering owners an engaging yet refined driving experience.
“It’s capable of tackling almost any driving adventure with utter confidence, comfort and convenience,” he says.
The vehicle cockpit has received an array of welcomed enhancements to increase user-friendliness, including, for the first time in a Subaru vehicle, the ultimate convenience of wireless smartphone Qi charging.
Additional new features include but are not limited to:
- 11.6-inch infotainment touchscreen
- Wireless Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™ connectivity‡
- USB type A and USB type C ports (power supply and communication) plus auxiliary input jack
Every Subaru Crosstrek variant will feature smart key and push-start ignition, LED headlights (dusk-sensing), roof rails, power-folding door mirrors. The Crosstrek AWD 2.0R, AWD 2.0S and AWD Hybrid S comprise LED Daytime Running Lights (DRL) whilst AWD 2.0L and AWD Hybrid L will feature a bulb type DRL.
Continuing Subaru’s commitment to safety, the Crosstrek contains the latest generation EyeSight Driver Assist system with an improved stereo camera and featuring the addition of a new Wide-Angle Monocular Camera. This also adds speed sign recognition, lane centring function and a wider field of view
The addition of a Driver Monitoring System – Driver Focus (DMS) offers another layer of safety, as well as convenience, to help reduce the chance of accidents. Whilst the inclusion of nine airbags means the all-new Subaru Crosstrek is well-equipped in the event of a collision.
The Subaru Crosstrek petrol variants will be powered by a direct injection 2.0-litre Boxer engine and a Lineartronic transmission with 8-speed paddle shift manual mode. The Hybrid variants feature a Subaru e-Boxer with 7-speed manual mode.
Confidence is further underpinned by the Subaru Global Platform which benefits from a refined inner frame that increases cabin strength and delivers a quieter and more comfortable ride says the manufacturer.
