Throw a couple of bikes on top or behind the 2021 Subaru Crosstrek Sport and you are ready for any terrain on any given weekend.
The 2021 Crosstrek Sport features a newly available 2.5-liter direct-injection Subaru Boxer Engine that delivers more torque and increases output to 182 horsepower. That translates to extra power that makes all your trips more exciting and responsive.
It sounds powerful, but how does it compare to its competitors? Well, I’m glad you asked.
The 2020 Hyundai Kona Ultimate has 175 horsepower, the 2020 Toyota C-HR Limited has 144 horsepower and the 2020 Honda HR-V Touring comes with 141 horsepower.
And, the icing on the cake is that the Crosstrek, which starts at just over $22,000, comes standard with all-wheel drive. None of the others in this group do.
One of the things I really like is what Subaru calls symmetrical all-wheel drive. It gives the ride uniform stability and distributes the power. In fact, the Subaru Crosstrek Sport is able to use the available X-MODE with hill descent control to electronically optimize the engine, transmission and other systems to increase traction in slippery conditions. The dual-function X-MODE with settings for snow, dirt and mud also is available for the Sport.
With improved handling and a quicker response to different road conditions, the Crosstrek adjusts uniformly, giving you confidence that the road ahead is an adventure to be explored. The Crosstrek Sport with automatic transmission offers good fuel efficiency, with 30 miles per gallon in the city and 33 miles on the highway.
How does it feel inside the cabin? Well, the Crosstrek has lots of room, with about 122 cubic feet of volume.
The Crosstrek Sport’s interior combines modern style and durable high-tech materials. The cabin features standard adventure-ready StarTex water-repellent upholstery with yellow contrast stitching and yellow accent trim, along with floor mats made from recycled materials.
The standard infotainment tech features the Starlink Multimedia system with standard Apple CarPlay and Android Auto integration, which you might be surprised to learn doesn’t come in every new car. You also get wireless pairing and hands-free smartphone operation, which allow for a safe and easy connection to your favorite apps and content. An 8-inch touchscreen is available, as well as a built-in and voice-activated navigation system.
Crosstrek Sport features unique exterior design elements like its aggressively styled grille and wheel arch moldings, gunmetal finish exterior accents, and exclusive dark gray wheels.
All of it makes for a very eye-catching package on the road.
The Crosstrek Sport has a wide rear gate opening, which makes gear easy to load. The standard raised roof rails and an extensive line of Thule racking accessories provide cargo-carrying flexibility to help bring more gear wherever life takes you.
So, make the Subaru Crosstrek Sport your go to when you are going to the road adventure of a lifetime.
