Canadian Launch of the 2013 Subaru XV Crosstrek

Blue Mountain in Collingwood.

Emotions

The first offering by Subaru targeted at

Millenials.

Emotional styling, urban appeal.

Active Lifestyle

The Crosstrek is tailored for the active lifestyle.

Standard Roof Rails

The roof rails can accommodate a variety

of roof racks.

The traditional grille with “hawkeye” headlamps.

Great Driving Roads

In and around Blue Mountain there are a variety of roads that

provide an excellent feel for the Crosstrek.

Alloy Wheels

Alloy wheels are standard on all versions.

What other color but black for the Millenial

look.

Well Finished

The interior is well finished, with attention to detail, and a good choice

of materials.

The touch points are tactile which softens the

feel of the interior.

Gravel Roads

Subaru’s and gravel roads get along well.

Limited

The first Crosstrek we drove was the Limited

version with a CVT, sunroof, navigation,

leather.

Metallic Black, with the black wheels added

personality.

Fun to paddle shift the CVT on the gravel roads.

Rear Seat

Its roomy!

Cargo Area

Adequate cargo area, and versatile with the

folding seat.

Sloping Roof Line

Its not a “flat roof” the sloping roof ads style

and character.

Boxer 4 Cylinder

2.0 L 4 cylinder boxer with 148 HP.

Agreed the boxer configuration is a Subaru

trademark.

CVT or 5 Speed Manual.

Petroliana

Interesting barn along the way with a variety of

petroliana.

Pearl White

Another cool color.

This is the Touring version with a 5 peed manual transmission.
