Subaru releases new Crosstrek model in the UK

All-New Exterior and Interior Design
The new exterior design communicates a ready-for-adventure spirit with a new 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 colour. Limited models are equipped with 17-inch Diamond Turned alloy wheels whilst Touring models come with 18-inch Diamond Turned wheels in an alternative design.

Several functional aerodynamic improvements enhance the performance and stability of the vehicle. 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.

Structure and Safety
The Subaru Global Platform for the Crosstrek has been enhanced with 10 per cent higher torsional rigidity. A full inner frame construction with stronger welding techniques and additional structural adhesive contributes to better body rigidity and less weight. These updates deliver an improved dynamic performance, smoother ride, and quieter cabin.

Standard on all Crosstrek models is the latest version of the award-winning EyeSight® Driver Assist Technology. The enhanced system operates more smoothly and quickly and under a greater range of conditions. These improvements are thanks to a wider field of view, updated control software and the addition of an electric brake booster. EyeSight® can identify bicycles and pedestrians at junctions sooner and, when necessary, alerts the driver and applies braking to avoid collisions.

Automatic Emergency Steering is now included on models equipped with Blind-Spot Detection, Lane Keep Assist and Rear Cross-Traffic Alert. This safety feature works with EyeSight® and Blind-Spot Detection to assist with steering control to help avoid a collision within a lane at speeds less than 50 mph. A Driver Monitoring System is also now fitted as standard to Crosstrek models, alerting the driver to any unusual and potentially dangerous activity whilst behind the wheel.

For total peace of mind, all Subaru Crosstrek models are covered by a 3-year / 60,000-mile manufacturer’s warranty. Additionally, the traction battery for all Crosstrek e-BOXER models is covered by an 8-year / 100,000-mile warranty. Service intervals occur every 12,00 miles or 1 year, whichever arises first.
