The plastic mountains
In the rear door kick plate
Trunk bumper guard
Cup holder riser
Also has mountains on them
Exterior plastic cladding
It’s freaking everwhere
It’s not exactly…symettrical
It’s got a diamond texture to it
The WRX had hexagon texture..for “Aero”
Trunk plastic cladding
Matches exterior texture
The mustache
The new gen obviously gets a new face
They’re proud of the frameless grille
But there’s a gray accent bar
That looks like salvador dali’s mustache
Safety
Eyesite is now std across the range
3 cameras at top of windshield
It’s pretty good here
Doesn’t change lane
Hugs right lane line
But good
Towing
This one has the small engine
So 1500 lbs
But the big engine and trans cooler
3500 lbs…allegedly
That’s serious muscle
Engines
Speaking of engines you get two choices
Neither have a turbo
Neither is a hybrid
Here we have the 2.0 boxer 4
152 hp
145 lbft
The bigger engine is a 2.5 boxer 4
182 hp
178 lbft
Here I’ve also been averaging 33 mpg
Epa says 29 combined
AWD
Std across the board
Symmetrical system
Active torque vectoring
Roof rails
Of course you need em for your RTT
175 lbs dynamic weight
675 static weight
Steering
It’s a dual pinion system
They’re quick to tell you it’s the same as the WRX
But it’s this softtouch plastic material
Feels VERY cheap
For a place you’re constantly touching
TFT screen
Semi digital cluster here on Premium
A little customizability up top
But the car puts it brake lights on
No turn signal
The radar car is a legacy
Turn signal
Sticker says one-touch signal
No half tick…wack
Interior trimming
Carbon fiber
Even has texture
But very obviously plastic
Lots of different black and gray tones
Transmission
CVT for everything
But get paddles here….for “fun”
Or engine braking
Cloth
On premium
Gotta go up the food chain for pleather
Wing mirrors
Gray…for some reason
Aero
Weirdly aggressive aero
Front wheels
Different texture
Rear diffuser
Trunk
Decent size, but smaller than HRV
Cover is a stream and riverbed
Spare tire
Cup holders?
Rear seat
Decent size
Chargers, no vents
Chargers labelled with amp output?
Wireless charger
Nothing here just a cubby
Can get one on higher trims
Infotainment
This is the upgraded 11.6 in system
WIRED acp and aa tho
Can get wireless on top trim
Kinda confusing UI
Not as immediately intuitive as others
No native nav?
Weirdly easy access to fuse box
Usually a storage cubby on german cars
But this cover fell off revealing fuse box
Price
Crosstreks start at about 26k
As tested with the 2600 sunroof package
Which gets you other stuff
And with 1200 destination
As tested 29,700
Feel like you’re getting a good amount of car for your money at that price, but make sure you check out our crosstrek vs hrv video for more
