2024 Subaru Crosstrek Wilderness
The 2024 Subaru Crosstrek Wilderness embodies the spirit of winter exploration with a robust drivetrain, refined cabin comfort and an impressive list of standard safety features.
Distinct exterior elements include a bold hexagonal front grille, front and rear bumpers, extensive wheel arch cladding, metal front skid plate and unique LED fog lights underscore its readiness for the season's challenges.
Under the Hood
A 2.5-liter engine delivers 182 hp and 178 Ib-ft of torque for traveling on winter roads. Longer coil springs and shock absorbers contribute to an elevated 9.3-inch ground clearance for better handling.
Subaru's X-Snow Mode system lowers the vehicle's center of gravity and reduces the risk of the vehicle tipping in slippery conditions.
Hill Descent Control manages speed on steep inclines or snow-covered roads in mountainous areas when visiting ski resorts.
Comfort and Convenience
Standard amenities include keyless access with push-button start, a tire system for monitoring air pressure in cold temperatures and steering LED responsive headlights that improve road visibility in challenging winter weather.
Dual-zone automatic climate control provides different cozy preferences on winter journeys. The adjustable temperatures also reduce window fogging and allow passengers to enjoy the scenery during road trips.
An optional All-Weather package for winter funseekers includes heated front seats, a heated windshield, waterproof weather mats, deicer wipers and a remote engine start to preheat the cabin before entry.
A high-resolution 11.6-inch multimedia interface comes with Bluetooth hands-free connectivity, AM/FM stereo, satellite radio, wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto.
The Crosstrek Wilderness versatile ladder-type roof rack system with 176-ib dynamic and 700-Ib static load limit offers plenty of space for winter adventurers to travel with their skis, snowboards, sleds, camping tents and other recreational gear.
A multifunctional and water-resistant cargo tray prevents snow residue, dirty boots and moist clothing from staining the carpet or upholstery.
Safety
The 2024 Crosstrek Wilderness is equipped with a suite of safety features for handling the challenges of winter weather.
Features:
- Advanced Adaptive Cruise Control: Maintains a safe distance from the vehicle ahead, even in snowy conditions, reducing the risk of rear-end collisions.
- Pre-Collision Braking: Detects potential frontal collisions and automatically applies brakes to avoid or minimize impact. It is helpful on slick roads where stopping distances increase.
- Automatic Emergency Steering: Assists in avoiding obstacles by applying corrective steering if a collision is imminent, potentially saving drivers from swerving into snow banks or oncoming traffic.
- Blind-Spot Detection with Lane Change Assist: Warns drivers of vehicles in their blind spot and alerts them when it's unsafe to change lanes. Feature is crucial in winter traffic where low visibility is a regular occurrence.
- Pre-Collision Throttle Management: When the driver presses the accelerator instead of the brake, this system can automatically cut engine power to prevent a car crash.
- Lane Departure and Sway Warning: Alerts a driver when the car drifts out of the lane. It is essential when snow or fog compromises visibility.
- Rear-Cross Traffic Alert: Hints approaching vehicles when reversing from a parking space.
