Distinguished by a strong sense of adventure and standard all-wheel drive, the Subaru Crosstrek is one of the best-selling subcompact SUVs on the market. And the most popular Crosstrek of late has been the range-topping Crosstrek Limited.
Let’s take a look at some of the key features drawing shoppers to the top of the Crosstrek lineup.
More Powerful Engine
The Crosstrek Limited features a 182-horsepower 4-cylinder engine that delivers quicker, more effortless acceleration than the lineup’s standard 152-horsepower engine. Especially when loaded with people or gear, or heading up a mountain, that’s a meaningful difference.
And that extra power comes with very little sacrifice in fuel economy. The EPA city/highway combined rating of 29 mpg is just 1 mpg shy of the lesser engine’s 30-mpg figure.
More Safety Features
In addition to safety and driver assist features like forward collision warning, automatic emergency braking, lane-departure alert, lane-keeping assist, and adaptive cruise control with lane centering, moving upward to the Crosstrek Limited adds blind-spot monitoring, rear cross-traffic alert, adaptive headlights with automatic high beams, and rear collision warning.
Upgraded Infotainment System
While lower trims come with a 6.5-inch touchscreen, the Crosstrek Limited has an 8-inch screen with over-the-air updates. While Apple CarPlay and Android Auto are standard on every Crosstrek, the Limited comes with additional USB ports, a Wi-Fi hot spot, satellite radio, HD Radio, and Bluetooth. Upgrades include navigation and an 8-speaker Harman Kardon audio system.
Heated Leather Seats
In addition to more power and features, the Crosstrek Limited delivers a richer passenger cabin. Leather seating surfaces, a leather-wrapped steering wheel, 6-way power-adjustable driver’s seat, heated front seats, and an available moonroof all create an environment that feels decidedly more premium than what you’ll find in the base Crosstrek.
