The Subaru Crosstrek is a new chapter in the Compact Crossover space here in South Africa. The all-new Crosstrek replaces the previous generation Subaru XV presented as the compact SUV within the Subaru SUV range next to the Forester and Outback. Where the XV and Crosstrek names were used separately in different markets around the world, the Crosstrek name has now been adopted worldwide, including here in South Africa.
The name is coined from the words Crossover and Trekking, an impression into the car’s versatility and capability in a varietv of terrains and environments. The Subaru Crosstrek’s evolutionary design presents the ethos of the Crosstrek: a bold and non-conformist form evoking a sense of playfulness and adventure.
The Subaru Crosstrek has always favoured a feature-rich cabin experience.
The 2.0-iS ES is fitted with Subaru leather seats with 8-way adjustable power operation, and the base 2.0-i LES is fitted with fabric seats. These new seats have been designed with a human-centric focus, prioritizing occupant comfort and well-being with back, headrest and hip contours for the best support of the lower back. In addition to this, the new seat design reduces human body movement within the cabin reducing fatigue and improving the overall experience of comfort and refinement.
Overall utility in the cabin has been improved through small revisions to the packaging and storage areas within the cabin. Variable use upholders and the coin holder below the gear shift lever have been reworked. At the rear, split-folding 60:40 rear seats increase overall cabin size if needed and the wide-opening rear doors and boot lid make entry and egress much safer and easier.
The Crosstrek carries forward Subaru’s latest interior design and operation architecture previously seen on the new Subaru Outback and Subaru WRX models in South Africa. Crosstrek features the latest driver’s multifunction display and steering wheel as well as a new central display, either in 7-inch or 11.6-inch dimensions.
The flagship Crosstrek 2.0-i S ES features the portrait layout larger HD display with the latest SUBARU
STARLINK infotainment system.
This touchscreen system integrates a number of onboard functions including a myriad smartphone and connectivity integration. New on the Crosstrek compared to the outgoing model is Wireless Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™ integration as well as Bluetooth® connectivity for audio and phone call operation and a wireless phone charging pad. The infotainment system also operates the vehicle settings such as EyeSight Driver Assistance features and X-Mode settings to name a few.
Primary, Active and Passive safety technology has been enhanced in the Subaru Crosstrek. Primary safety has considered the outward visibility for the driver and the design of the A-pillar and D-pillar has improved visibility especially when cornering. When it comes to passive safety, the Subaru Global platform plays an integral role in reducing occupant or pedestrian damage in the event of a collision. Additional sub-frames have been added to the front, side and rear of the platform for better
protection.
7 airbags are included in the Crosstrek, including driver’s knee and passenger seat cushion airbags as well as an airbag that deploys between the front seats to reduce the severity of collisions between the front seat occupants.
EyeSight® Driver Assistance and Safety Technology The new Subaru Crosstrek is fitted with the latest and fastest version of the award-winning EyeSight® Driver Assist Technology. The system features Pre-Collision Braking for emergencies; Lane Departure Prevention, Lane Centering and Emergency Lane Keep Assist; Adaptive Cruise Control with traffic crawling ability, traffic sign recognition and intelligent speed limiter.
It is the most advanced and comprehensive EyeSight® system ever, made possible by a number of added functions, faster control software and a wider field of view from the cameras.
