2024 Subaru Crosstrek Wilderness: Your $37,995 Ticket to Off-Road Excellence
October 06 2023,
Subaru Canada's newest adventure vehicle—the 2024 Crosstrek Wilderness—has been officially priced at $37,995, making it the most robust offering in the Crosstrek line-up. This off-road-ready machine is equipped with a host of enhancements, including a retuned drivetrain, Subaru's signature All-Wheel Drive, and standard X-MODE. A heightened ground clearance of 235 millimetres further amplifies its off-road prowess, along with exclusive body cladding and other functional attributes. This is an SUV that seamlessly marries trail capability with a car-like ride, thanks to its versatile design that makes it especially adaptable for carrying wet or muddy outdoor gear.
The Crosstrek Wilderness boasts a 2.5-litre SUBARU BOXER engine, delivering 182 horsepower and 178 lb-ft of torque. A revised differential gear ratio and a newly tuned Lineartronic CVT facilitate better off-road handling. The vehicle's final drive ratio of 4.111 (as opposed to the standard 3.700) optimizes the SUV's low-speed traction and climbing ability. If you're looking to haul, the towing capacity has been elevated to an impressive 1,588 kg, courtesy of a newly added transmission oil cooler.
Safety and Styling That Stands Out
Subaru's award-winning EyeSight Driver Assist Technology comes standard, offering Adaptive Cruise Control, Pre-Collision Braking, and more. Additional features like Blind-Spot Detection with Lane Change Assist and Rear Cross-Traffic Alert are also standard fare on this new model. Advanced safety tech like Automatic Emergency Steering and Reverse Automatic Braking provide an extra layer of security, particularly in challenging trail situations.
Style-wise, the Crosstrek Wilderness sets itself apart with exclusive front and rear bumpers, a hexagonal front grille, and metal front skid plate. The exterior is completed with two unique paint options—Geyser Blue and Alpine Green—while the interior gets a rugged yet plush makeover, including seats upholstered in all-weather material with the Subaru Wilderness logo and copper-coloured stitching. A versatile ladder-type roof rack system offers a 176-lb dynamic load capacity and 700-lb static load limit, catering to a range of adventure gear. Finally, the SUV is fitted with Yokohama GEOLANDAR all-terrain tires, ensuring optimal off-road performance.
The 2024 Subaru Crosstrek Wilderness is not just another SUV; it's an engineered marvel geared towards adventure enthusiasts who seek a perfect blend of capability, safety, and style without breaking the bank. With its competitive pricing and feature-rich offering, this SUV is poised to redefine rugged luxury in its segment.
