This is the new Crosstrek SUV from Subaru. Known in the UK as the XV, it now sports the same name that it’s known is in the United States.
Starting with its striking exterior, the 2024 Subaru Crosstrek sports a bolder, more refined look that's sure to turn heads whether you're making your way through city streets or traversing mountain paths. The front fascia is redesigned, featuring a more prominent grille and sharper headlight design, enhancing visibility and giving it a more assertive presence. The body lines are sleeker, contributing to an aerodynamic profile that not only looks good but improves fuel efficiency.
 
What sets it apart is its practical approach to adventure-ready features: raised roof rails make it easy to haul everything from kayaks to bikes, whilst it’s increased ground clearance of 220mm’s promises safe passage over more rugged terrain. The choice of vibrant colours, like Offshore Blue Metallic and Crystal White Pearl, adds a dash of personal flair that makes the Crosstrek uniquely yours.
 
Step inside, and the Crosstrek surprises with an interior that punches above its weight class in both style and function. The cabin is a sanctuary of comfort and connectivity, designed with high-quality materials that are both attractive and durable. The seats are upholstered in a new, soft yet resilient fabric – in the Limited Trim, and leather in the Touring Trim -  perfect for withstanding the rigours of both daily commutes and outdoor escapades.
 
Technology is at the forefront, with a user-friendly infotainment system anchored by an 11.6 inch touchscreen. Apple CarPlay and Android Auto come standard, seamlessly integrating your smartphone to keep your tunes, maps, and messages at hand. The Touring is available with SatNav as well.
 
Subaru’s legendary symmetrical all-wheel drive system provides balanced power distribution for maximum traction. But it’s the X-MODE that sets the Crosstrek apart, optimising engine output and transmission ratios to improve grip on slippery surfaces. With a simple push of a button, X-MODE takes control, managing throttle, transmission, AWD engagement, and other components to tackle steep inclines, rough terrain, and uneven surfaces with ease. With the Touring Trim, you have DUAL X-MODE – for more on how well that performs, check out our off-roading adventures.
 
And for the off-road enthusiast, the Crosstrek shines. Its trail prowess is elevated by the aforementioned ground clearance and X-MODE, allowing it to handle conditions that would sideline many of its competitors. Whether it’s muddy tracks, sandy banks, or snowy streets, the Crosstrek remains unfazed. 
 
The 2024 Subaru Crosstrek isn't just a vehicle; it's a gateway to adventure, packed with features that encourage you to explore the world beyond city limits. It's as much at home on the bustling city street as it is on a remote trail, reflecting Subaru's commitment to quality, durability, and passenger safety. With its blend of practical design, cutting-edge technology, and robust off-road capability, the Crosstrek is a top contender for anyone who dreams of a life filled with adventure and freedom.
