5 Features Of The 2024 Subaru Crosstrek That Outdoor Adventurers Will Love – SlashGear

The 2024 Subaru Crosstrek has 8.7 inches of ground clearance to overcome road obstacles on the tarmac and the beaten path. Underneath is a revised Subaru Global Platform with a complete inner frame construction, stronger welds, and more structural adhesives. As a result, Subaru claims the 2024 Crosstrek has a stiffer architecture than the outgoing model and delivers 10% better torsional rigidity than before.

Subaru Crosstrek Wilderness

You can think of the Crosstrek Wilderness as the more hardcore sibling with 9.3 inches of ground clearance, custom long-travel shock absorbers, and 17-inch custom wheels wrapped in Yokohama Geolandar all-terrain rubber. Furthermore, Crosstrek Wilderness has a standard ladder-type roof rack with a 700-pound static load limit.

The Wilderness has a 2.5-liter Boxer engine under the hood, and it gets a new differential with a 4.11 final drive ratio for its symmetrical all-wheel drive system. It’s not a truck, but the Crosstrek Wilderness could tow up to 3,500 pounds, thanks to a new transmission oil cooler.
