Subaru's first ever plug-in hybrid vehicle, the 2019 Crosstrek Hybrid, will make its debut at the upcoming Los Angeles Motor Show. The highly anticipated SUV offers real all-wheel drive capability in a hybrid package, and will also feature unique exterior and interior styling and new in-vehicle technology. 

The Crosstrek Hybrid features the new Subaru StarDrive Technology that uniquely integrates electric motors, a 2.0-litre engine, Subaru Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive, and a new Lineartronic Continuously Variable Transmission (CVT). 

Subaru StarDrive Technology employs two electric motors. One motor functions as an engine starter. Conversely, it can be powered by the engine to function as a generator for the hybrid battery. The second motor powers the vehicle for hybrid and electric driving modes. It also charges the hybrid battery during regenerative braking. The Crosstrek Hybrid is capable of speeds up to 105km/h when in full electric mode. The high-capacity lithium-ion battery, mounted beneath the cargo area, enables the vehicle to achieve an electric range of 27km. 

The 2019 Crosstrek Hybrid is built around the Subaru Global Platform that was designed to accommodate hybrid and electric powertrains. The standard Linerartronic CVT features X-MODE and Hill Descent Control for enhanced performance in low-friction and off-road conditions. The standard SI-DRIVE is a powertrain performance management system that allows the driver to tailor the vehicle's throttle characteristics by choosing between 'Intelligent' and 'Sport' modes, while Active Torque Vectoring also comes as standard.  

Exclusive to the 2019 Crosstrek Hybrid is a striking new exterior colour, Lagoon Blue Pearl, one of four available hues. The SUV is further distinguished by blue head light projector rings and unique silver metallic finish on the front grille, lower front bumper and body cladding, and fog light accents. The low-profile roof rails and spoiler in black finish, along with unique 18-inch wheels in black with machine finish, accentuate this model's sleek styling. The Hybrid's interior features exclusive new high-contrast Gray and Navy-Blue leather seats, door panels and armrests. The cabin is complemented with blue stitching and accent panels throughout.

The Crosstrek Hybrid comes with an array of standard features, including the 8.0-inch STARLINK Multimedia Plus system with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, Keyless Access with Push-Button Start, Automatic Climate Control, Tire Pressure Monitoring System with individual tire pressure display, LED fog lights and dual rear USB ports. New features for Subaru STARLINK Connected Services, exclusive to the Crosstrek Hybrid, include Remote Climate Control and Remote Battery Charging Timer.

With safety as a top priority, the 2019 Crosstrek Hybrid comes standard with a suite of driver-assist and safety features. EyeSight Driver Assist Technology includes Pre-Collision Braking and Throttle Management, Adaptive Cruise Control, Lane Departure and Sway Warning, and Lane Keep Assist. For the first time in a Subaru vehicle, a Driver Assist Indicator has been installed at the top of the combination meter to increase visibility of EyeSight status or other warnings. Blind Spot Detection with Lane Change Assist and Cross Traffic Alert is also standard.
