Subaru Corporation unveiled the all-new Subaru Crosstrek. Combining a compact body with a rugged and sporty design, the Crosstrek features full-fledged SUV performance thanks to Subaru's unique symmetrical AWD, making it a versatile crossover SUV ideal for any driving environment, whether in the city or for outdoor adventures. While the vehicle has been called "Crosstrek" or "Subaru XV" depending on the market, the "Crosstrek" name will be used globally beginning with this third generation model. Not only has the unique design of the previous model been emphasized, but also the driving dynamics of the Crosstrek have been refined. Furthermore, in addition to being equipped with the latest generation EyeSight technology, the new Crosstrek is the first Japanese-market Subaru model to feature a wide-angle mono camera, thus enhancing safety performance. A faithful companion with versatility and reliability, the new Subaru Crosstrek is designed for those seeking a vehicle that is both a daily driver and weekend companion ready to take on new adventures. It is ideal for those who desire a fulfilling driving experience coupled with a level of freedom never experienced before. The new "Crosstrek" will first be introduced in the Japanese market (scheduled for 2023 or later) before being introduced to other markets around the world.
Packaging and Utilities
Cabin Environment - The interior remains just as roomy as in previous models. Thanks to the spacious interior, drivers of all sizes can find a comfortable driving position, and all passengers can enjoy a relaxing travel experience with minimal fatigue even on long journeys. Cargo Space - This latest model preserves the large cargo-space door opening as well as plenty of cargo-carrying space inside. Moreover, the 60:40 folding rear seats make it easy to expand the cargo space when loading bulky or long items into the vehicle. Utility - The rear-gate lower trim and side sill plates feature a texture inspired by the mountains, offering outstanding design aesthetics along with practical advantages such as slip and scratch prevention. When users look at these elements of the vehicle, they will begin to imagine the many active things they can do with their Crosstrek. The form of the side sill plates has also been optimized to bolster stability when stepping up onto the sills to load items onto the roof rails or wipe down the roof.
Driving Dynamics
New Seats Design that Supports the Pelvis - Seats with an innovative design that supports and aligns the pelvis, which prevents vehicle swaying motions from being transferred to the head. This design makes for a more comfortable ride by reducing rolling motions during steering actions as well as swaying caused by uneven road surfaces. New Seat Mounting Structure - The seat mounting structure has been changed, from the standard type in which a bracket is used between the seat and vehicle body, to one where the seat rails are attached directly to the body. This new approach increases mounting-connection stiffness and improves vibration damping while reducing seat sway, to provide a more comfortable, high-quality ride experience. Improved Resonance and Sound Absorption Using High-attenuation Mastic - A high-attenuation mastic (elastic adhesive) with excellent vibration absorption and damping performance is used between the roof panel and braces. This provides an improved ride by reducing sound pressure caused by roof vibrations and enhancing noise damping within the cabin.
Safety Features
Digital Multi-View Monitor - Composite images from four separate cameras are used to create a 360-degree, 3D top-down view, improving visibility on all sides of the vehicle. These images are displayed using the new-and-improved center information display, which offers larger and more detailed images than previous multi-function displays for greater ease of use and viewability. Full-LED High and Low Beams and Subaru's First LED Cornering Lights - LED lights are now used for the high and low beams, position lamps, and blinkers. In addition, this model includes LED cornering lights for the first time in a Subaru vehicle, which illuminate the road ahead when turning a corner at an intersection or other such location, improving nighttime visibility for the driver. New Stereo Camera Unit - This new unit roughly doubles the angle of view compared with previous camera units. Furthermore, image recognition software and control software have been improved to enable recognition of objects at wider angles and farther distances, and the switch to windshield-mounted installation and addition of a lens hood prevent accidental contact with the camera lens.
