2018 Subaru Crosstrek Review

Of all the changes made to the new 2018 Subaru Crosstrek, none is more significant than the architecture it adopts. Following the Impreza on which it’s based, the Crosstrek becomes the second vehicle to be built on a new global platform that Subaru plans to use for most of its future products. Aimed at improving both driving performance and overall safety, the new underpinnings are both stiffer than before while being better equipped to absorb energy in the event of a crash.
Subaru’s engineers were also able to use the new architecture to add space inside the Crosstrek without increasing its overall size all that much. While the wheelbase, at 104.9 inches (2,665 millimeters), is longer than before, the Crosstrek’s bumper-to-bumper length has only grown marginally to 175.8 inches (4,465 mm). It’s the same story elsewhere, with the Crosstrek measuring only slightly wider than before, while its overall height remains static.
