Motor Trend surely hit the ground running in its appraisal of the new Crosstrek, calling it a "smooth and sorted ride," with "true off-road capability" and "value off the scale." Factoring into that sterling review were more than a few standouts.
The auto mag singled out, for instance, a "fuel-sipping" 2.0-liter SUBARU BOXER direct-injection engine, capable of an estimated more than 30 mpg combined fuel economy to go the distance. That's with no small assistance, they claimed, from a highly responsive, newly revised continuously variable transmission. Factor in the traction command of the celebrated Subaru Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive, standard through all Crosstrek trims, as well as the peace of mind of the Subaru EyeSight safety suite, and Motor Trend's appreciation of the whole package becomes apparent. Ideal for almost any trip, 2018 Crosstrek, they found, even features 8.7 inches of towering ground clearance, making ascending obstacles and fording water a breeze.
Accolades also presented for the new Subaru SUV's inviting interior. Motor Trend saw a special perk in the upgraded Crosstrek infotainment system, wherein Apple CarPlay and Android Auto support now come standard, extending smartphone access to your excursion. Count on excellent rear passenger space, too, and all at a relatively modest investment of a little more than $23,000 in 2.0i Premium to just over $27,000 in Crosstrek 2.0i Limited.
