Versatile SUV, lots of fun. The user-friendly compact SUV must have both ease of driving every day and readiness to take off for a spur-of-the-moment getaway. The Subaru Crosstrek SUV combines a compact size that makes parking easy, cargo-carrying versatility, optional Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive, and moderate ground clearance of 8.7 inches. The various trim levels enable you to choose your own combination of options and drivability.
Find your new Subaru model at Ewing Subaru of Plano. From affordable daily driving to hybrid fuel economy and off-road adventure, there’s a variety of new Subaru models to browse. Whether you’re encountering Plano traffic, heading toward Frisco, or cruising down the road out of town, this flexible SUV can handle any style of travel.
All the versions include Subaru Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive, which continuously sends power to the wheels for grip on the go. Use it to gain some extra traction on wet pavement, rougher terrain, or gravel roads. It gives you the extra grip without you having to upgrade to the higher trim level to get all-wheel-drive.
The Gas powered versions are equipped with a 2.5-liter SUBARU BOXER engine with 180 horsepower. The horizontally opposed configuration enables the standard 8.7 inch of ground clearance while the optional X-MODE system assists to control the traction when going over difficult terrains. Depending on the trims, ground clearance is from 8.7 inches to 9.3 inches, while the Wilderness comes with a lifted suspension and a ground clearance of 9.3 inches. It is also up to 3,500 pounds when properly equipped.
The available trims deliver varied bundles of comfort, technology, style, and capability. The Base offers a no-frills package including the essentials, standard safety features and a no-frills entry point. The Premium builds on the Base with upgrades including an 11.6-inch multimedia touchscreen, raised roof rails and optional comfort upgrades.
If you’re hoping for a bolder look, you might like the Sport with its unique exterior accents and cloth seats. Or, the Limited offers a more comfortable interior with leather seat coverings and upgraded driver safety features. For tougher terrain, the Wilderness boasts custom exterior guards and tires along with a lift kit and increased tire height.
The other way to go is Hybrid. The Sport Hybrid and Limited Hybrid pair a 2.5-liter BOXER engine with electric motors and a high-capacity lithium-ion battery to deliver a 194-horsepower hybrid system. Both feature Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive and are designed with a focus on increased fuel efficiency. The Limited Hybrid offers a more upscale feature set, while the Sport Hybrid gets its sporty look.
As you enter the cabin, you will notice a meticulously designed interior to make sure that all the most frequently used switches and screens are readily available. The cabin is equipped with an 11.6” Multimedia Display Screen, smartphone connectivity, navigation, and a digital instrument display screen for entertainment and communication.
Technology is also a standard feature across the model lineup. It offers Pre-Collision Braking, lane departure and sway warning indicators, and Advanced Adaptive Cruise Control with Lane Centering. Blind-Spot Detection, Rear Cross-Traffic Alert, and Driver Focus are optional features that are trim-dependent.

Does each Subaru Crosstrek have all-wheel drive?
Yes. It is available in all models from Base to Premium, then Sport, Limited, Wilderness, Hybrid, and everything else, with the Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive system. That way, customers do not need to move up to the next trim to enjoy a drivetrain from Subaru that focuses on traction. The Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive can prove itself useful when it comes to slippery roads, soft gravel, and varying road conditions. Some individual cars may also be equipped with different X-MODE setups for traction off-road.
Which trim is designed for more challenging outdoor routes?
The Wilderness is the most trail-oriented model in the range. It has a raised suspension, as much as 9.3 inches of ground clearance, off-road tires, and exterior styling cues. Its equipment is designed to support it when venturing out onto more rugged paths where a typical small SUV might have less clearance. It also provides a higher towing capacity than other models when appropriately equipped, making it a desirable choice.
What is the difference between the Sport Hybrid and the Limited Hybrid?
The shared feature of both models is that they use a Subaru 194-horsepower hybrid engine, which includes a 2.5-liter BOXER engine and electric motors. But there are differences between the Sport Hybrid and the Limited Hybrid in terms of design and interior features. The Sport Hybrid is sportier, while the Limited Hybrid comes with additional luxury features, such as better audio equipment and leather upholstery.
Is the Crosstrek comfortable for everyday driving?
A narrow exterior width makes it easy to maneuver the crossover along city streets, in parking lots, and during everyday errands. The cabin offers practical passenger and cargo flexibility, while the available all-wheel drive adds capability when the road gets tricky. As equipped, the Pilot features wireless smartphone connectivity, an optional power driver’s seat, and additional driver assists, including blind spot warning and adaptive cruise control. Nothing beats seeing how you feel in the seat during a test drive.
What can I compare before selecting a trim?
Focus on the available features. Think about the powertrain: Do you prefer traditional gasoline-powered or hybrid? How much ground clearance do you need? Do you want upgraded seats, sound, or driver-assistance systems? When choosing among the two trim levels, the Wilderness is capable of rougher off-road conditions, while the Limited versions focus more on a comfortable ride.
