We put this 2021 Subaru Crosstrek review together to show drivers near Parsippany, Wayne, and Morristown, NJ, what it has to offer.

2021 Subaru Crosstrek Specs

The 2021 Subaru Crosstrek offers two engines that'll help you make fewer pitstops. The standard 2.0L 4-cylinder SUBUAR BOXER® engine can get up to an EPA-estimated 28 MPG city and 33 MPG highway. It also delivers a sporty 152 horsepower and 145 lb-ft of torque.

If you'd like a little more power under the hood, you can go with a 2.5L 4-cylinder SUBARU BOXER® engine instead. It offers up to 182 horsepower and 176 lb-ft of torque, while also providing you with an EPA-estimated 27 MPG city and 34 MPG highway.

Both engines can also help you bring some extra cargo along for the ride. With a 1,500-pound towing capacity, you can hitch a utility trailer or some recreational vehicles to your SUV.

Subaru Crosstrek Interior Dimensions

Inside the Crosstrek, you'll find comfortable seating for five and lots of storage space. It's easy to kick back and relax with a power-adjustable driver's seat. You can also keep the cabin clean thanks to durable cloth seats. Leather-trimmed upholstery is also available, as well as a leather-wrapped steering wheel.

While the cabin gives you lots of room to stretch your legs, the trunk's wide opening makes it easy to pack everything you need. If you've got more to load, just fold the back seats down, and you'll have more than double the cargo room.

Subaru Crosstrek Technology

Every 2021 Subaru Crosstrek comes with a STARLINK® Multimedia system. It features a sleek touchscreen in the dashboard and lots of smartphone compatible features. The first few trims have a 6.5-inch screen, while an 8-inch monitor is also available.

They offer the kind of features that'll make your drive easier, more convenient, and more fun. You'll be able to enjoy lots of music, safely make hands-free calls, and get turn-by-turn directions with the following features:

• Apple CarPlay®
• Android Auto®
• SiriusXM®
• HD Radio™
• Navigation

Plus, with a built in 4G LTE Wi-Fi hotspot, you can connect to your streaming apps, post to social media, and get service no matter where you go.

2021 Subaru Crosstrek Interior Amenities

 

The 2021 Crosstrek is also prepared to keep you comfortable. With an 8-way power adjustable front passenger's seat and a 10-way power-adjustable driver's seat with power lumbar support, you'll find plenty of ways to relax.

Not to be outdone by the drivetrain, the cabin can also adapt to different seasons with heated front and rear seats, a heated steering wheel, and 3-mode ventilated front seats.

It also makes things nice and convenient for you. For example, you can hop in with keyless access, give everyone a nice view with a power moonroof, and pack up when you've got your hands full thanks to a Hands-Free Power Rear Gate.

There are also some stylish upholstery options to choose from. Cloth seats come standard, but Nappa leather is also available. Plus, to make the interior pop, you can add contrast stitching, too.

Subaru Crosstrek Capability

Whether you're making your way down a tough trail or driving home in a storm, the Subaru Crosstrek can keep you safe. It comes with standard Subaru Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive, so you can enjoy traction and stability in any conditions. To help you handle potholes and rocky roads, it rides high with an 8.7-inch ground clearance.

While its high ground clearance lets you attack steep trails with an impressive approach angle, Hill Descent Control can help you get back down safely. It maintains a constant speed, no matter how steep the road is.

In addition to the standard all-wheel drive system, the Crosstrek also includes features that can prevent skidding on slippery terrain. With a standard Traction Control System, Active Torque Vectoring, Vehicle Dynamics Control, and X-MODE®, you'll be in for a stable drive in any situation.

You can even get a closer look at anything that lies in your path with an available 180-Degree Front View Monitor. It lets you use the dashboard monitor to size up potholes, streams, and obstacles.

Subaru Safety Features

Inside the Subaru Crosstrek, you'll be protected by seven airbags. The advanced system includes a pair of front airbags, seat-mounted front side airbags, a driver's knee airbag, and side-curtain airbags that cover both rows of seats.

To help prevent accidents, the Crosstrek is available with lots of intelligent safety features. For example, the standard Rear-Vision Camera can give you a better look at what's behind you when you're backing up. EyeSight® Driver Assist Technology is also available to give you more awareness while you drive. It includes the following features:

• Pre-Collision Braking
• Pre-Collision Throttle Management
• Advanced Adaptive Cruise Control with Lane Centering
• Lane Departure and Sway Warning

On top of the EyeSight® system, you'll have a better idea of what's around your SUV with additional features like Reverse Automatic Braking and Blind-Spot Detection with Rear Cross-Traffic Alert. While all these safety features watch out for what's around you, the DriverFocus® Distraction Mitigation System is paying attention to how you're driving. It analyzes your driving patterns and reminds you to keep your eyes on the road.
