Subaru debuts 2018 Crosstrek at the New York Auto Show

Subaru of America, Inc. has announced that the all new 2018 Subaru Crosstrek will make its debut at the New York International Auto Show. The all new Crosstrek is built on the new Subaru Global Platform and offers enhanced performance, safety, capability and comfort. The more spacious 2018 Crosstrek is the second vehicle built with the brand's new design language - Dynamic x Solid.

Multimedia features include standard Apple CarPlay and Android Auto connectivity, as well as Near Field Communication for simplifying Bluetooth pairing. Active Torque Vectoring Active, first introduced on the WRX and WRX STI, is now standard on all trim levels. The new Crosstrek will be available in base, Premium, and Limited trim levels when it arrives at Subaru retailers in the U.S.A this summer.

A revised version of the FB 2.0-litre four-cylinder Boxer engine gains direct fuel injection and other enhancements to boost both performance (up from 148bhp to 152bhp) and driveability. The 2.0i base and Premium trims come standard with a six-speed manual transmission and are available with a Lineartronic CVT. The Limited trim comes standard with the CVT, featuring a seven-speed manual mode function with steering wheel paddle shifters that allow the driver to control the transmission via seven pre-set ratios.
