Subaru’s XV has evolved, with our compact SUV reimagined and rechristened as the all-new, next-generation Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive (AWD) Subaru Crosstrek.
Subaru Crosstrek’s new chapter starts now, for this head-turning, access-all-areas, compact yet highly capable SUV, with customers able to book a test drive now, to experience the next generation vehicle in June.
The all-new Crosstrek features a multitude of the latest infotainment technologies and intuitive safety systems, creating an enjoyable ride for all occupants no matter the destination. The Subaru Crosstrek presents a compact body with a rugged and sporty design with a much bolder exterior than its predecessor. The dynamic styling, which conveys reliability as a crossover SUV, also retains the vehicle’s fun and versatile personality.
Subaru of New Zealand’s Authorised Subaru Centres’ will offer three Crosstrek models for customers to choose from, including two hybrid variants, so you can tread lighter as you Crosstrek around Subaru Country.
The Subaru Crosstrek Premium petrol variant will be powered by a sporty yet refined direct injection 2.0-litre Boxer engine and a Lineartronic® transmission with 8-speed paddle shift manual mode. The two Crosstrek Hybrid variants include a premium specification model and feature a robust Subaru e-Boxer lineartronic transmission with 7-speed manual mode.
Subaru of New Zealand’s Managing Director, Wallis Dumper says: “Eleven years ago Subaru put the best things they have ever done into pioneering the small SUV category, when we introduced the Subaru XV. Now we are creating history again – in an exciting redefinition of the category we created – with the launch of the all-new from the ground up Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive Subaru Crosstrek.”
“It might be a small SUV but our Crosstrek still has mighty SUV creds. It can zip through urban streets to your favourite restaurant during the week and then access your hidden fishing spots on the weekend, where you can indulge in an off-the-beaten track, self-service menu.”
“The Subaru Crosstrek features 220mm of ground clearance which is what separates it from most of its ‘pretender’ SUV competitors. Subaru’s Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive system then propels the Crosstrek into a different capability realm compared to its ‘townie’ rivals.”
“Driver confidence is further underpinned by the Subaru Global Platform, with a refined inner frame that increases cabin strength and delivers a quieter and more comfortable ride.”
“Crosstrek owners can expect an engaging yet refined driving experience in an SUV that’s capable of tackling almost any driving adventure you choose with utter confidence, comfort and convenience. If you enjoy driving, then this Subaru Crosstrek is a great choice,” Mr Dumper says.
