2024 SUBARU CROSSTREK. The best new compact SUV?

Subaru of America has unveiled the all-new third-generation 2024 Crosstrek at the Chicago Auto Show. The 2024 Crosstrek offers improved performance, enhanced safety features, updated multimedia technology, and new exterior and interior designs with a stiffer chassis, creating a fun and comfortable driving experience both on and off-road. The Crosstrek debuted 12 years ago and quickly became the fastest-selling vehicle in history for Subaru of America, with more than a million units sold. In 2022, Crosstrek was the top performer by volume, achieving its best year ever. For 2024, the Crosstrek will be available in Base, Premium, Sport, and Limited trim levels, with a starting price of $24,995, which is the same as the 2023 Base model equipped with Lineartronic CVT.
The 2024 Crosstrek has been designed around the concept of utility and sportiness that lends itself to an active lifestyle. The ground clearance for all Crosstrek models is 8.7 inches, which is greater than that of many SUVs, yet it maintains a comfortably low step-in height for both front and rear passenger entry. Standard across the model line is a revised Subaru Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive system with a faster response time, more agile handling, and better control both on- and off-road. Driver-selectable X-MODE with Hill Descent Control maximizes wheel control on slippery surfaces and steep inclines. Sport and Limited trims upgrade to dual-function X-MODE for increased capability in a wider range of conditions. All models feature Incline Start Assist, which briefly holds the vehicle while the driver pulls away from a stop on a hill.
The Base and Premium Crosstrek models are equipped with a 2.0-liter 4-cylinder direct-injection SUBARU BOXER engine producing 152-hp and 145 lb.-ft. of torque. The Sport and Limited trims upgrade to a 2.5-liter BOXER engine delivering a responsive 182 hp and 178 lb.-ft. of torque. Standard on all trim levels is a Lineartronic CVT with smoother and quieter performance. The Premium, Sport, and Limited trims feature a manual mode with steering wheel paddle shifters that allow the driver to control the transmission via eight pre-set ratios.
The 2024 Crosstrek also receives a version of the WRX’s dual-pinion electronic power steering rack, providing a more direct and natural steering feel and greater responsiveness. The new exterior design communicates a ready-for-adventure spirit with a frameless hexagonal grille, compact headlights, a more sculptural body, and a broad-shouldered stance. Black wheel arch cladding and rocker panels provide a sharp contrast to the body color. Several functional aerodynamic improvements enhance the SUV’s performance and stability. An air outlet at the trailing edge of the front wheel opening allows air to exit from the wheel well more freely, contributing to reduced lift on the front tires and improved driving stability. Another air outlet added at each side of the rear bumper reduces body sway due to air trapped behind the bumper.
The cabin benefits from an enhanced focus on the occupants and their interaction with the vehicle. A more supportive front seat design increases overall comfort and minimizes fatigue. A focused effort on reducing sounds within particular frequency ranges results in a quieter and more comfortable cabin. The modern interior design features a prominent center information display with highly visual controls as well as ample head and legroom and storage space. Rear dark-tint privacy glass is standard.
