Yellow trim aside the Onyx seats are fugly. The gray fabric pattern looks 1960s sofa. But not a deal breaker and MUCH less yellow than the old Outdoor, thankfully! Lol. The Convenience seats are the nicest looking (or WRX). But great car!
Thanks Daniel, great video! Would appreciate your opinion on best location to mount a dash cam as the usual place behind the rear mirror is now occupied by additional (3rd) eyesight camera.
Gorgeous. Love the new design. The blacked out rear center piece without those orange tacky stickers that come with the sport model looks great without being cheap
The easiest way is to check the pricing on Subaru.ca, using the Build and Price tool. In Canada, there is no Wilderness, only Onyx. Onyx is $36,710+tax
ew I hate the new touch screens they should go back to the 8 inch ones. I don't like being distracted while driving any vehicle. Nothing says luxury like going to my funeral.
8:40 the physical handbrake was awesome because this car slides so well in gravel. Ugh they turned this car into a shitbox like the outback. Nobody who buys these cars asked for any of the interior stuff.
You guys in Canada are lucky that this car will be Made in Japan while the identical Sport trim in the US will be Made in America instead. Also, you guys won't have to deal with those tacky gold accents on the exterior and steering wheel.
“You lost me at CVT” oh the drama….. I prefer crank windows. I want a bench seat. An ash tray and a hood ornament…… Drive it. Read about it. The outgoing 2.5 cvt is a well rounded ride. I also prefer to row my own gears….. but then there’s what’s on the lot. And there’s plenty of shitbox autos too. Slow the drama roll there guy who was lost at “ you lost me at cvt….. it is better than I expected and I hate slipping clutch cvt feeling trannys too….
Piano black on the shifter console AARGGGG and no rear vents for passengers? Bring back the startex interior too. I guess this trim will be the Sport trim in the US.
We bought a new onyx crosscheck a couple pf months ago, my partner was out yesterday and it came up that there was an update. It seemed that you had to do it right then and there. Do you have to or can you wait?
eve this is 2.5 same as forester,but i felt huge difference, this much faster than my previous forester. and Thanks for the review and hopefully a test drive would be perfect.
I like the blue stitch and touches of gold and the fog lights on white I would go for the onyx but I hate the black stripe in back but sadly all models have that shit so I would have to go for black juat to hide that stuff stripe in the back and get gold fog lights on black and black rims for 2024 which is sad the 2023 dontchave that black stripe in back but I don't want a 2023 I find the 2024 is way more rugged really good job fixing the front not the back though and I wanted white for 2024 just not that,black stripe in back everyone's complaining about it I agree 100% I would want white for 2024 without the black stripe in back but this car exactly is my choice
I have a 2019 Crosstrek Sport with the 2.0L. There are definitely some improvements on the 2024. I like the 10 way drivers seat. No more Cool Khaki Grey though. That is my favourite colour on these. Very informative. Thanks Daniel.
I dream of acquiring a Crostrek Wilderness 2.5. I live in Brazil and around here I only fear the XV 2.0 gasoline and Hybrid. Does anyone know how to import a Subaru car? Thanks
I expect the electronic handbrake works the same as on my 2022 model. It releases automatically if you drive off with it on, so you don't actually have to release it. It works very similar to hill holder. Quite a good idea. The electric handbrake will also slam on the brakes at maximum modulated pressure if applied (in an emergency situation) when moving. How do I know ? I tried it at low speed and the effect was dramatic.
That's the one I'll be picking once my lease runs out on my 2021 Outdoor edition this December. This is just the video I was looking for as I want white and this video didn't disappoint. Thanks!
Thanks for the video Daniel! Would be nice if you can confirm whether the backup camera has steering traction feature too? And the blind spot indicator lights on the onyx trim level. 😊
The body is not the same. Very similar, but not same. Torsional rigidity has been improved, as well as insulation and suspension components. There are also lots of differences inside and out (seats, headlights, screen, eyesight system, etc.).. thanks for watching!
"if you're on the fence, don't be" made me laugh. Stated without absolute confidence. Great video. I only got to test the limited so was nice to see the onyx in good detail like this. Just ordered mine in off shore blue. Should be 3 months. So stoked, it's the ultimate car. Only complaint is the big black plastics for eyesight, makes the FOV feel hampered a bit.
@@eskieman3948 I don’t see one on the front end and I don’t see the button on the steering wheel like the outdoor model has. I could be wrong, but where is it?
I ordered the silver onyx, and I am waiting for the car! I am wondering what is the bottom beside the e-parking brake button? I couldn't find it anywhere in the reviews or even in the user's manual!
i think heated steering is half way heating , way better than full heated cuz outback using the same unite to share the whole steering which makes the steering so lukwarm~~~ not even hot..
I have a 2016 limited in hyper blue with a lift and white sparco wheels with fat at tires. Love it but looks like I finally need to trade up! Never cared for 2nd gen stlyling but 3rd gen looks nice! Btw hyper blue is back in 2024. I think it’s called something else though
Crosstreks will have better resale value, and more capabilities like in forest roads. But Impreza will be faster and better handling, more sporty. I drive a WRX :-)
Actually, the Subaru CVT are fantastic. The response time when using the paddles is almost instantaneous. I didn't like it at first in auto but it is super smooth. In manual it is actually a lot of fun and very effective.
The only thing I don't like about this new Crosstrek is the gloss black across the tailgate. I think it would look better body colored. Otherwise I like it.
After checking 24 wilderness crosstrek, I was thinking how smart I am to NOT choose that crosstrek wilderness edition, that one looks so much so much plastic surrounded and in this small size crossover 😂 much better looking in forester
Which dealership in Mtl? Are you satisfied with their business? We’re you able to negotiate on price? I am confused about WRX vs This Crosstrek . I already have two manuals and I am retired. Enjoy your car mate
I cannot understand why Subaru skimps on the automatic back door. For a model of this price it should come standard.
The 2.5 engine in this should be so much more fun to drive. It looks good, SOA did a good job on the new design.
Yellow trim aside the Onyx seats are fugly. The gray fabric pattern looks 1960s sofa. But not a deal breaker and MUCH less yellow than the old Outdoor, thankfully! Lol. The Convenience seats are the nicest looking (or WRX). But great car!
the reverse camera looks much better and clear than outback
Agreed 👍
Thanks Daniel, great video! Would appreciate your opinion on best location to mount a dash cam as the usual place behind the rear mirror is now occupied by additional (3rd) eyesight camera.
Thank you!
Gorgeous.
Love the new design.
The blacked out rear center piece without those orange tacky stickers that come with the sport model looks great without being cheap
I kinda wish you would talk about the price. I need to do research to find out what the price difference between the wilderness and the onyx.
The easiest way is to check the pricing on Subaru.ca, using the Build and Price tool. In Canada, there is no Wilderness, only Onyx. Onyx is $36,710+tax
This looks super nice. Subaru did a great job. I did not like the 2021-2023 years.
I also think it’s an improvement on almost every aspect. Cheers
Is that true that there is a liquid washer for the backup camera? You don't talk about it. I'm getting the Limited in December.
Yes it’s true 🙌 thanks for watching
WHOA! That looks cool but it's missing the carbon fiber from 2019 so meh.
ew I hate the new touch screens they should go back to the 8 inch ones. I don't like being distracted while driving any vehicle. Nothing says luxury like going to my funeral.
the 2019 seats are more comfortable than these. Personal opinion.
8:40 the physical handbrake was awesome because this car slides so well in gravel. Ugh they turned this car into a shitbox like the outback. Nobody who buys these cars asked for any of the interior stuff.
The autostop autostart shit needs to f off too. That's awful for the boxer engine.
The orange stitching was better.
How much??
$36,710+tax&fees in Canada
Canadian Dollars
You can put lipstick on a pig...but that won't change anything.
A $60k economy car in this poor Obiden economy??? It makes no sense.
Closer to $42,000 all in, Canadian Dollars
You guys in Canada are lucky that this car will be Made in Japan while the identical Sport trim in the US will be Made in America instead. Also, you guys won't have to deal with those tacky gold accents on the exterior and steering wheel.

Also, Scotty Kilmer approves 😂

No offense to Subaru, but I'll keep my 2021 2.5 Pearl White Limited.
Why do you prefer it?

Will do, Once I get my hands on one :-)
@@DanielKwetny Can’t Wait! My Limited scheduled to hit the dlr’s lot in Northern CA. in Aug

Thanks for watching! Cool Grey is great 😊
Yea the color selections aren't interesting enough. I also expected a green shade.
I dream of acquiring a Crostrek Wilderness 2.5.
I live in Brazil and around here I only fear the XV 2.0 gasoline and Hybrid.
Does anyone know how to import a Subaru car?
Thanks
Buy it here and drive across the border ? 🤞🥲😊🤷♂️
Thanks for the review. You are the first one who has reviewed onyx. Great job. Already order offshore blue metalic.
Thanks! And congrats on your Crosstrek order!

Good Video! Can you do a video on the touring or limited? I like the Onyx but the seats are different.
I will do the Touring in the next couple days :)
Would you be able to post a video of the cabin lighting at night. Instrument cluster, button backlighting etc?
I'll try to do this!
@@DanielKwetny Update. Test drove and ordered one!
can't wait to take delivery of mine in June
In the flesh, it looks less masculine by far. Same in comparison to the previous model.
Agreed. Some angles more the. Others I like the new one better, inside and out
That's the one I'll be picking once my lease runs out on my 2021 Outdoor edition this December. This is just the video I was looking for as I want white and this video didn't disappoint. Thanks!
You might want to order it soon. I believe there is a wait period to get them. Talk to the dealership near you to see.

Thanks for the video Daniel! Would be nice if you can confirm whether the backup camera has steering traction feature too? And the blind spot indicator lights on the onyx trim level. 😊
Yes to both! Blind spot now starts on the Touring (lower trim level). Thanks for watching!
Great video Daniel. Thank you. Have you had a chance to drive the onyx? Wondering how the ride is on the 18" falkens.
The drive is great! The 18” wheels don’t seem to rob any cushioning.. Feels great on road bumps, etc..
thanks for watching!
I want to see if 2025 has the alpine green like US has. And wilderness
We have it in Canada as well 👌 Apine Green is available, but only on the Crosstrek Wilderness. I have a video of it
How is this new gen, if the body is the same!?
The body is not the same. Very similar, but not same. Torsional rigidity has been improved, as well as insulation and suspension components. There are also lots of differences inside and out (seats, headlights, screen, eyesight system, etc.).. thanks for watching!
wow the white looks amazing. I ordered a limited in silver
"if you're on the fence, don't be" made me laugh. Stated without absolute confidence. Great video. I only got to test the limited so was nice to see the onyx in good detail like this. Just ordered mine in off shore blue. Should be 3 months. So stoked, it's the ultimate car.

Love your reviews. I'm looking to buy a Convenience trim next week or so. I have an appointment at your dealership next week, I'm hoping to see you!
Are there any air vents in the second row? Thanks!
There are. They come from under the front seats. Foresters and Outback would have addition vents for the back, on the back of the middle console
I have one on order. Looks like there’s no more front camera. Oh well.
Not true.
@@eskieman3948 I don’t see one on the front end and I don’t see the button on the steering wheel like the outdoor model has. I could be wrong, but where is it?
No more front cam on Onyx/Outdoor.. you are correct. You are going to love the Onyx though, I'm sure! Like a mini-Outback
Wow big upgrades to the new generation. Love the look and functionality
Ah man the infotainment is laggy and the car hasnt even left the dealer!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Front bumper design is ugly and unfunctional!
I ordered the silver onyx, and I am waiting for the car! I am wondering what is the bottom beside the e-parking brake button? I couldn't find it anywhere in the reviews or even in the user's manual!
Congrats! The button is a blank (non functional). In other countries, it’s the button for the front camera, if the car has it. Thanks for watching!
it's saddening that rear view mirror is not auto dimming
Where's the front view camera?
Did they take that out!!??
If they did, that's a real shame!!
They took it out! It will probably be in the Crosstrek Wilderness...
Thanks for watching
i think heated steering is half way heating , way better than full heated cuz outback using the same unite to share the whole steering which makes the steering so lukwarm~~~ not even hot..
Canadian?
Yes 👍
would love to see a review of the orange colour in all angles in the touring model.
I have a 2016 limited in hyper blue with a lift and white sparco wheels with fat at tires. Love it but looks like I finally need to trade up! Never cared for 2nd gen stlyling but 3rd gen looks nice! Btw hyper blue is back in 2024. I think it’s called something else though
I think it's now called Sapphire Blue!
Hyper blue is my favourite! No longer being made
This or the new Impreza Sport hatch with 2.5L boxer engine?
Crosstreks will have better resale value, and more capabilities like in forest roads. But Impreza will be faster and better handling, more sporty. I drive a WRX :-)
Is the onyx trim available with 17 inch wheels?
No unfortunately. Only the lower trim levels below the Onyx have the 17”.
17” wheels could be added at a charge
What tyranny is in that? If it's the CVT, that's a deal breaker. Wish Subaru would bring back the standard tranny
CVT - they are good in my opinion! I like them better than traditional auto.. better fuel econ and smoother
@@DanielKwetny I can see that, just so long as they don't have to be replaced every 3000 miles.
Actually, the Subaru CVT are fantastic. The response time when using the paddles is almost instantaneous. I didn't like it at first in auto but it is super smooth. In manual it is actually a lot of fun and very effective.
Needs turbo and a new interior with a future based dash
Turbo will be unpopular, but would be awesome 😎
The only thing I don't like about this new Crosstrek is the gloss black across the tailgate. I think it would look better body colored. Otherwise I like it.
At least it's Made in Japan and doesn't have tacky gold accents all over the car like it does in America lol
Better color choices on US models though... 😢
Funny, that was the first thing I saw and thought I really like the black on the tailgate! 😅
I agree with that black strip reminds me of the Nissan kicks a,bit
If you don’t buy the Onyx. It wouldn’t have that piece.
It looks nice but too bad subaru is known for their issue with windshield
Quite rare to have issues. In my experience it’s the same as other brands
@@DanielKwetnyinteresting
How's the passing power now with the 2.5l engine?
182hp - very good - same as a Forester
Am I able to upgrade the seats to leather ones?
Only with after market solution, but not from Subaru. You would need to go for the Crosstrek Limited for leather 👍
Great video! I’m wondering if there’s a backup camera washer on onyx trim?
Yes there is - I just checked! Thanks for watching and commenting
@@DanielKwetny thank you for your prompt reply. That’s one of the wanted features on my car. Eagerly waiting for my onyx!
Backup Camera Washer?
Sun roof only in limited?
Onyx as well!
Lol not in Canada was at the dealer 🤣
Onyx dose not offer sun roof not sher ware you got that car not in canada lol
@@jeanpaullavieille5806 I test drove an onyx in Canada yesterday and it did in fact have a sunroof.
Great review.
Mein dream...
After checking 24 wilderness crosstrek, I was thinking how smart I am to NOT choose that crosstrek wilderness edition, that one looks so much so much plastic surrounded and in this small size crossover 😂 much better looking in forester
i get/pickup my 24 red onyx next week in montreal👍
Awesome. Red Onyx is rare, I love it

Getting my Black Onyx in 4 weeks in Montreal also ;-). enjoy
