2024 Crosstrek impresses a lot with its redesign
The 2024 Subaru Crosstrek enters its third generation with an excellent redesign. For the exterior, new design cues include a frameless hexagonal, more sculpted bodywork, compact headlights, black sill panels and wheel arch trim. Additionally, the economy SUV is more aerodynamic with new air intakes, which help improve ride stability and performance.
The sleek new design continues into the cabin, which is more modern and refined than the outgoing model. In addition, the new front seats offer greater support, resulting in less fatigue and a more comfortable ride. Also, with sound-absorbing materials and a new body structure, the cabin is quieter.
More improvements in the new generation of Subaru Crosstrek
The next generation 2024 has some other improvements. This includes better performance. Along with the more aerodynamic design, the improved performance is due to the new body structure. Its chassis is 10% stiffer, for a more dynamic driving experience and smoother ride.
Additionally, the redesigned Crosstrek features a variation of the WRX sports car’s dual-pinion electronic power steering system, offering increased responsiveness and a more natural feel for the road. The powertrain range remains the same, however, with a 152bhp 2.0-litre flat-four and a 182bhp 2.5-litre flat-four. Also, while not yet announced, the 148bhp plug-in hybrid variant will likely carry over to 2024 as well.
Furthermore, the latest iteration of the subcompact SUV offers new technological features. This includes the 11.6-inch Subaru Starlink Multimedia Plus infotainment system, with wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto smartphone integration, over-the-air updates, SiriusXM and HD radio.
In addition, the Crosstek comes standard with the latest version of the Subaru EyeSight suite of safety-enhancing technologies. With its new software, the addition of an electronic brake booster and a wider field of view, the new EyeSight system can operate in a wider range of driving conditions. It also works faster, especially with the identification of pedestrians and cyclists.
Additionally, the budget SUV offers increased comfort with the new climate control system, with a greater emphasis on individual seating. Additionally, dual-zone climate heating and cooling are now standard across all trim levels.
The 2024 Subaru Crosstrek is an affordable choice for buyers. It’s Subaru’s most affordable new SUV, and with a superb redesign, it’s much better for the 2024 model year.
