Since 2013, the Subaru Crosstrek has wowed the automotive market as a compact, efficient family SUV. With a boxer engine, variable automatic transmission, and all-wheel drive, the Crosstrek was designed for adventure and weekend excursions for all.

While many of the new additions for the 2018 Subaru Crosstrek are cosmetic, special technology features and engine upgrades take the now classic design and beef it up for weekend road-warriors.
