Subaru is preparing the next generaton of its popular Crosstrek compact crossover and we have the scoop on it
Frontal styling kicks off with sleek matrix LED headlights intersected by a chrome spear spanning the trapezoidal grille. Lower down, angular fog-light housings and contrasting black cladding add to the frontal dynamism., the flared front and rear fender cladding appear to sport faux vents, and the hindquarters have muscular haunches. The tail lamps have Subaru’s signature c-clamp aesthetic at the back, while the lower portion of the rear bumper has funky cutouts for the reflector lenses.
Don’t expect any significant surprises when it comes to the interior. Why? Well, because essentially, it’ll be the same cabin as you will find in the all-new WRX, minus the sporty touches Subaru applied on the performance compact. This is good news, as it will feature an 11.6-inch portrait-style touchscreen with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, a 12.3-inch digital instrument cluster and wireless phone charging.
Safety will be a top priority, too. Here, Subaru’s Eyesight suite of driver assists will include autonomous emergency braking, lane-centering aid, blind-spot monitoring, rear cross-traffic alert, 360-degree camera and a driver attention monitor.The new Crosstrek/XV rides upon the same, well-regarded Subaru Global Platform as the outgoing car. Revisions to the frontal crash structure and additional torsional stiffness will further benefit the XV’s impressive ride and handling characteristics.2.
