2022 Subaru Crosstrek features & specs

If you feel adventure calling this year, you may think there's no better way to get there than in the aptly named 2022 Subaru Crosstrek. This review will examine each trim's basic specs and main features to help you determine the ideal setup for you.

Features and Specs 

This Subaru series has an optional EyeSight feature that integrates navigation software and adaptive cruise control technology with safety features such as lane departure alerts and pre-collision brake assist. With EyeSight, each trim's price increases by about $2,000, except for the Limited trim, which already includes this feature.

You can also pair up any of the Crosstrek trims with a choice of two Subaru Boxer 4-cylinder motors:  a 2.0 L engine that delivers 152 horsepower and a fuel economy city rate of 8.5 L per 100 km, or a 2.5 L engine that packs 182 horsepower and a rate of 8.8 L of fuel per 100 km in cities.

Convenience

The Convenience trim is aptly named, as it features a rear liftgate that gives effortless access to the cargo space (complete with hooks, tie-downs and hook rails). The infotainment system is compatible with Apple CarPlay and a Android Auto 6.5" touchscreen display. With its base price of $23,955, this model includes privacy, rear tinted glass for the rear windows, and a windshield laminated for UV protection.

Touring

If you want to gear up for winter adventures, the Touring model features de-icing windshield wipers, LED fog lights, and heated and leather-wrapped steering wheel and front seats. The sound-insulated hood will ensure the revving motor doesn't get in the way of the music you listen to with the included three-month trial of Sirius XM. This model also has an extra USB port and a CD player. The Touring comes at a starting price of $26,595

Outdoor

This trim features striking gunmetal accents all-over, as well as a cargo cover and liftgate lamp.

You'll also feel safer driving the Crosstrek Outdoor with its rear and side vehicle detection that alerts you to possible obstacles. The Outdoor starts at $30,495

Sport

For $29,095, this model features a powered sunroof with tilting and sliding sunshade, and steer-responsive LED headlights. The Crosstrek Sport also has a bigger infotainment touch screen of 8". 

Limited

This model comes in at $34,795. It includes all the features of the previous models plus voice-activated GPS navigation and SMS text messaging.

Conclusion

The 2022 Subaru Crosstrek series is definitely built for casual getaways and mildly off-road trips, but its strongest features are actually related to visual aesthetic and feel. As far as compact SUVs go, it's possibly the best-looking model of the 2022 market, though not the most powerful.
