Top 10 Features of the Subaru Crosstrek Wilderness Trim
The Subaru Crosstrek Wilderness is built for those who demand adventure, capability, and comfort. As the rugged addition to the Subaru Crosstrek lineup, the Crosstrek Wilderness brings enhanced off-road capabilities, advanced technology, and robust safety features. Whether you’re navigating city streets or tackling rough trails, this trim offers an impressive combination of performance and practicality.
At Hello Subaru of Temecula, part of Hello Auto Group, we’re excited to showcase what makes this Subaru performance model a standout. Let’s take a closer look at the top 10 features of the Crosstrek Wilderness that make it a must-have for adventure seekers.
- Enhanced Off-Road Capability
The Crosstrek Wilderness is designed for rugged terrain, featuring higher ground clearance (9.3 inches) and all-terrain tires to improve traction on dirt, gravel, and snow. Its Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive system enhances stability, providing confidence no matter the conditions. A revised front and rear bumper design improves approach and departure angles for tackling steep inclines. The front skid plate adds another layer of protection, ensuring you can navigate rough terrain without damage.
- Upgraded Suspension System
A specially tuned suspension system equips the Crosstrek Wilderness with superior handling on rough trails. With long-travel dampers and reinforced springs, this trim absorbs impacts more effectively, ensuring a smoother ride on uneven surfaces. The returned steering ratio offers precise control, giving you confidence on winding roads and trails alike.
- X-MODE with Dual-Function Control
Subaru’s X-MODE enhances traction and stability, optimizing engine output and AWD torque distribution. The Crosstrek Wilderness comes with a dual-function X-MODE, allowing drivers to choose between Snow/Dirt and Deep Snow/Mud modes for better performance in challenging conditions. The enhanced hill descent control system helps maintain a steady speed when navigating steep downhill slopes, adding extra control and safety in tricky conditions.
- Exclusive Exterior Design
The Wilderness trim stands out with its bold styling, including an exclusive hexagonal front grille, matte-black cladding, and Anodized Copper accents. The roof rack is reinforced to support up to 700 pounds, perfect for mounting a rooftop tent for overnight adventures. Its LED fog lights provide increased visibility in low-light conditions, making nighttime and foggy drives safer and more manageable.
- Powerful and Efficient Engine
Under the hood, the Crosstrek Wilderness is powered by a 2.5-liter SUBARU BOXER engine, delivering 182 horsepower and 176 lb-ft of torque. The Lineartronic CVT with an 8-speed manual mode provides responsive power, whether you’re cruising highways or climbing steep terrain. The revised final-drive ratio enhances low-speed torque, giving the Wilderness trim better performance when tackling demanding inclines and uneven paths.
- Advanced Safety Features
Subaru is known for its commitment to safety, and the Crosstrek Wilderness is no exception. Standard EyeSight Driver Assist Technology includes adaptive cruise control, lane keep assist, and pre-collision braking. Additional features like blind-spot detection and rear cross-traffic alert provide extra confidence on and off the road. Rear automatic braking is also included, helping to prevent collisions when backing up in tight spaces.
- Durable and Comfortable Interior
The Crosstrek Wilderness offers a balance of durability and comfort. The StarTex water-resistant upholstery is easy to clean and built for outdoor adventures. Copper stitching and embossed Wilderness badging give the cabin a rugged yet refined look. Heated front seats and a leather-wrapped steering wheel add extra comfort for long drives. The all-weather floor mats ensure that dirt, mud, and water don’t damage the vehicle’s interior, making cleanup easier after off-road excursions.
- Cutting-Edge Technology
Technology is front and center in the Crosstrek Wilderness, featuring an 11.6-inch Subaru STARLINK touchscreen infotainment system with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto integration. Built-in navigation, voice controls, and wireless charging keep drivers connected wherever the road leads. An available Harman Kardon premium audio system enhances the driving experience with superior sound quality.
- Expansive Cargo Space
With ample cargo space, the Crosstrek Wilderness is designed to carry everything you need for your next trip. The rear seats fold down to offer up to 54.7 cubic feet of space, and the wide rear hatch opening makes loading gear a breeze. The textured cargo floor provides extra grip, keeping items secure during transit. Underfloor storage compartments allow for better organization and stowing of smaller essential items for added convenience.
- Exclusive Wilderness Badging
Rounding out the unique features of the Crosstrek Wilderness is its exclusive Wilderness badging, showcasing its rugged pedigree. From the front grille to the tailgate, these design elements distinguish it from the standard Crosstrek lineup, reinforcing its status as a true off-road machine. The bold Wilderness decals add an extra visual flair, making this model instantly recognizable.
