Here in Central Illinois, when the temperatures drop and the snowy weather arrives, having a capable and reliable SUV at your disposal can be a huge asset. And while many utility vehicles feature increased dimensions to match their enhanced capabilities, you don't need to take on the imposing space requirements to add surefooted handling and practical versatility to your daily drives. The Subaru Crosstrek offers roomy accommodations, flexible cargo capacity, and real all-weather capability in a maneuverable city-friendly package. And for 2021, Crosstrek is even better, with retouched wheels and fascia, a new available engine, and a new trim that makes Subaru's superb subcompact even more capable. Here's a quick look at some of our favorite attributes of the 2021 Subaru Crosstrek.
- Standard AWD: A signature of Subaru models, Symmetrical All-Wheel-Drive's centerline location and the BOXER engine's low gravity center combine to optimize weight distribution and balance. Together they help give Crosstrek confident handling dynamics and traction in a variety of conditions. And when equipped with a continuously variable transmission, Crosstrek also adds the X-MODE advanced traction control system with selectable modes.
- 2.5-liter SUBARU BOXER engine: New for 2021, Crosstrek's top two trim get an upgrade from the base 2.0-liter to a newly available 2.5-liter powerplant. The same engine found standard on Forester and Outback; it produces 182-horsepower and 176 pound-feet of torque, an increase of 30 and 31, respectively, over the base model.
- Crosstrek Sport: Also new for the model year, the Sport trim level further elevates Crosstrek's adventurous character, equipping the upgraded engine, rugged exterior enhancements, water-repellent StarTex® upholstery, and a dual-function X-MODE system with extra settings for Deep Snow/Mud.
