Subaru unveiled the redesigned Crosstrek in September and now it’s coming to America. The US-spec model will be introduced at the Chicago Auto Show on February 9th and feature “upgraded power, advanced technology, and enhanced safety.” Subaru declined to elaborate, but they teased a Sport variant with black wheels and yellow accents.
Putting the teaser aside, we already know
the 2024 Crosstrek will have an evolutionary design that is instantly
recognizable. However, it adopts a more
expressive grille, streamlined bodywork, and sleeker headlights. The
evolutionary design continues in the cabin and we can expect improved seats,
upgraded upholstery, and an 11.6-inch infotainment system. The Japanese Crosstrek also benefits from NVH
improvements and we can expect them to be shared with the American version.
The 2024 Crosstrek rides on a “further
evolved” version of the Subaru Global Platform.
It promises improved rigidity as well as better driving dynamics. Engine
options will likely echo the redesigned Impreza and this means we can expect a
2.0-liter four-cylinder developing 152 hp and 196
Nm of torque. It could be joined by a
2.5-liter boxer engine with 182 hp and 241 Nm of
torque. This being Subaru, a
Lineartronic continuously variable transmission and a symmetrical all-wheel
drive system will also be part of the package.
