Performance & Capability
Beneath its rugged exterior, this crossover features a robust 2.5L H-4 gasoline direct injection engine producing 180HP, paired with a smooth Lineartronic CVT to optimize both power and efficiency. With an EPA-estimated 24 mpg city and 28 mpg highway, you can enjoy long road trips or daily commutes with fewer stops at the pump. The legendary Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive system provides continuous power to all four wheels, ensuring maximum traction on wet pavement, gravel, or snow-covered roads. This Wilderness trim is further enhanced by an off-road ride suspension featuring independent front strut and rear double wishbone designs, providing extra ground clearance and a composed ride over uneven terrain. Drivers can easily customize their performance using the SI-DRIVE driver selectable drivetrain mode to match current road conditions, while the heavy-duty transmission oil cooler ensures the powertrain remains protected during demanding drives.
Technology & Connectivity
The modern cabin is centered around the impressive Subaru 11.6-inch Multimedia Navigation System, which features an intuitive touchscreen interface for effortless control. Seamless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto integration allows you to sync your smartphone wirelessly, keeping your favorite maps, playlists, and hands-free communication right at your fingertips. Passengers can stay connected on the go with the MySubaru Wi-Fi Hotspot capability and multiple USB ports located throughout the cabin. For audiophiles, the premium Harman/kardon speaker system delivers crystal-clear sound quality, turning every drive into a concert-like experience. Additionally, the front wireless smart device charging pad ensures your phone stays powered up without the clutter of cords, while the integrated navigation system provides turn-by-turn directions to keep you on course.
