2020 Subaru Crosstrek

The 2020 Subaru Crosstrek has a sporty look like a rugged SUV, but has an easy, smooth driving experience that will remind you of a sedan. The subcompact SUV could easily be confused for a five-door hatchback because of its streamlined look, but it offers plenty of room for a comfortable ride. Families, adventurers, and professionals can all find something to love in the 2020 Crosstrek.

The Crosstrek is built to last, and you can expect to get years of impressive performance from it while also enjoying many other features and benefits. If you're in the market for a new vehicle, put the 2020 Subaru Crosstrek at the top of your list.

 Exterior Styling

The 2020 Crosstrek has a sporty look that already ups the excitement level around it. The body has a streamlined profile with elements that move seamlessly from one to the other. Black cladding and well-placed chrome accents punctuate the design and give it interesting and attractive styling.

The front of the Crosstrek is rounded off, with a small black grille that brings the profile to a point. A chrome bar runs across the grille, and the Subaru logo hovers in the middle. The front end pulls up and away, revealing the fog lights, and leading to the headlights, which pull back to the sides. The cladding provides a border around the wheels, and the body panels flow gracefully down the sides. Body-colored door handles create a cohesive look, but a black border under the side mirrors creates a demarcation between the lower and upper body. Black roof rails create a graceful outline for the SUV.

The aerodynamic profile descends gracefully to the rear end, which has a strong, wide profile that creates a distinctive finish. The tail lights sit high and wide apart, and there is thick space between them and the lower bumper. Angular lines create an interesting design at the rear.

Overall, the Crosstrek has an attractive design that combines elegant and rugged styling for popular appeal. It's a handsome vehicle that you'll love to drive.

Interior Styling

The interior of the 2020 Subaru Crosstrek is gorgeously styled. It has ergonomically designed seating with interesting styling details, like two-tone upholstery and contrasting top stitching in some trim levels. The rear seat features the same ergonomically designed seats, which are combined in the middle by a smaller bench seat. When no third passenger is present in the rear, a cushioned armrest can be pulled down for comfort and practicality.

 Practical materials are used throughout the cabin and the cargo area, making it easier to clean up if you decide to go on off-road adventures and get a little dirty. But the materials still look attractive and high-quality so that you can put your best foot forward if you are driving guests in the SUV.

The dash features an embedded infotainment display screen that is flanked by vertical vents and topped by a driver information screen with hooding. Climate controls and other knobs are placed just below the infotainment display screen for easy access. It is a cohesive design that is both attractive and functional.

Shooting off from the infotainment center is an angled groove that highlights the glove compartment. Similar detailing is seen throughout the cabin to create an interesting design.

The interior of the 2020 Subaru Crosstrek is both comfortable and stylish, and it will make driving the SUV more enticing.

Power and Performance

The 2020 Subaru Crosstrek is powered by a 2.0-liter, horizontally opposed four-cylinder engine that puts out 152 horsepower and 145 lb-ft of torque. It is paired with a six-speed manual transmission, but a continuously variable automatic is available. While you won't be beating any speed records or conquering mountains with that engine, you will enjoy reliable and comfortable performance with great gas mileage. The base model Crosstrek gets an estimated 27 mpg in the city and 33 mpg on the highway with the CVT, or 22 mpg in the city and 29 mpg on the highway with the manual transmission.

A plug-in hybrid is also available for those who are more environmentally conscious. The hybrid powertrain also has a 2.0-liter Boxer engine, but it is attached to an electric motor. It puts out 148 horsepower, and it gets 17 miles in all-electric mode. The hybrid powertrain gets an estimated 90 mpg-e when running on electricity and 33 mpg when running on gas alone.

The Crosstrek has 8.7 inches of ground clearance, so it does give you more space for exploring trails, even if the engine isn't strong enough to get you through really tough spots. The standard all-wheel drive will give you that extra oomph to explore in new spaces.

Enjoy reliable performance and great gas mileage with the 2020 Crosstrek, whether you are driving to work or heading out on weekend adventures.

Subaru makes driving the Crosstrek fun in many ways. Not only do you get great performance, but you'll also love riding in the Crosstrek and enjoying all the comfort and convenience features.

The compact SUV fits five passengers comfortably, and everyone gets plenty of arm, leg, and head room. Headrests, armrests, and other features are well-placed throughout the cabin for comfort.

Automatic climate control was added for the 2020 Crosstrek, making for a more comfortable ride. Additional features are added on each trim level, providing greater comfort and ease of accessibility.

Safety Features

Subaru is known for offering an impressive suite of safety features, and the 2020 Crosstrek is no different. A rearview camera is standard. Models of the Crosstrek that are equipped with the continuously variable transmission include Subaru's EyeSight assistive safety features, including adaptive cruise control, automatic emergency braking, and lane keep assistance. The hybrid model also comes with LED steering responsive headlights.

The 2020 Crosstrek has high safety ratings, as well, which means that it's built to provide better protection on the road. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration gave it a five-star overall safety rating, and the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety gave the hybrid model a Top Safety Pick+ designation. The non-hybrid models were named a Top Safety Pick by the IIHS.

You can feel confident driving the 2020 Crosstrek, knowing that you'll be better protected in case of an accident, and you'll have more features helping you to avoid getting into an accident.
