Subaru Crosstrek Base vs. Subaru Crosstrek Sport vs. Subaru Crosstrek Wilderness - Which One is Right for You?
Getting an SUV to keep up with your off-road adventures doesn't mean finding the biggest, toughest model out there. The Subaru lineup doesn't employ massive, gas-guzzling SUVs, favoring smaller, more efficient off-road warriors who can confidently brave the slickest terrain. For fans of the subcompact crossover models, the Subaru Crosstrek offers the luxuries of the Subaru world without leaving too big an imprint on your life or bank account.
Picking your favorite option from the Crosstrek lineup might be a tougher decision, but we can help you navigate the trim selection to choose your favorite option. Whether you prefer the basic comforts of the Crosstrek Base or want to step up to models like the Crosstrek Sport and Crosstrek Wilderness, we can help you find the answer. Visit Ciocca Subaru of Philadelphia today, where our Subaru Crosstrek lineup waits for your perusal - there's a lot of fun to have when you test drive your favorite option!
Why Should You Pick the Subaru Crosstrek Base?
Nothing beats the basics, and the Subaru Crosstrek Base model is a good start to your search. The lineup features many exciting options that make it easy to get up and go on your next adventure. The standard 2.0-liter DOHC engine delivers 152 horsepower and 145 pound-feet of torque for your travels, pairing well with standard Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive for some added confidence when the going gets tough. Paired with a Lineartronic® Continuously Variable Transmission and a towing capacity of 1,500 pounds, you'll intimately know life from the road. Further improve your driving experience with X-MODE® technology, Active Torque Vectoring for better handling and sharper turning radius, and a ground clearance of up to 8.7 inches.
Other standard features include 17-inch aluminum-alloy wheels with a dark gray finish, LED Steering Responsive Headlights, the EyeSight® Driver Assist Technology, and High Beam Assist. You won't have trouble finding your way home and taking on the next journey when you find the road from the new Subaru Crosstrek Base.
Why Should You Pick the Subaru Crosstrek Sport?
Upgrading to the Subaru Crosstrek Sport unlocks a few new features you'll love about your ride. The Crosstrek Sport forgoes the base engine option in favor of a 2.5-liter DOHC engine, which improves performance to 182 horsepower and 178 pound-feet of torque. The lineup continues the everyday use of the iconic Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive system and uses a version of the Lineartronic® CVT that includes an eight-speed manual mode with paddle shifters if you prefer a bit more control. You'll enjoy all the same functionality and capability you get with the Base model in a sleek new package.
18-inch aluminum-alloy wheels with a dark gray finish help you chew up the miles around your Philadelphia home. Improvements to the exterior include standard LED fog lights, gloss black-finish folding side mirrors with integrated turn signals, and raised black-finish roof rails. Amenities like heated front seats and a leather-wrapped steering wheel provide you with a sense of luxury. Enhanced style stems from Sport cloth upholstery with yellow accents and contrast stitching, while the Subaru STARLINK® 11.6-inch Multimedia Plus system comes with wireless Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™ smartphone connectivity. There's a lot to love inside the new Subaru Crosstrek Sport.
Why Should You Pick the Subaru Crosstrek Wilderness?
The Wilderness trim joins the Crosstrek lineup for the new model year, and there's a lot to explore. The Wilderness edition keeps the 2.5-liter Subaru BOXER® engine and pairs with a lower final-drive ratio for better low-speed climbing and Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive. The AWD system works with all-terrain Yokohama GEOLANDAR® tires for better mud, snow, and gravel performance. With 9.3 inches of ground clearance and additions like a front skid plate, improved approach and departure angles, and an Enhanced X-MODE® with dual-functionality to optimize performance in tough situations. Round out the performance package with 3,500 pounds of towing, and you're ready for the road.
Rugged styling like a glare-reducing hood decal keeps the sun out of your eyes while head-turning features like Anodized Copper-finish accents, hexagon-patterned LED fog lights, and 17-inch alloy wheels with a matte-black finish add practical looks and appeal. Roof rails are standard but enhanced for the Wilderness model, giving you a 700-pound static load capacity for your bikes, kayaks, or even a rooftop tent when you want to camp off the ground.
