Many were sufficiently appreciative of the 2016 iteration of the Subaru Crosstrek, but those who missed out on the fun can still get on board and instead look forward to the 2017 Subaru Crosstrek.
For those who have already seen and tried it, they attest to the fact that the car manufacturer has succeeded in retaining the model’s exciting appeal and practical functionalities. This should be a great reason to visit a dealership for Subaru serving Baton Rouge and other nearby areas.
Style Variants
There are four engine choices to look at when considering the 2017 Crosstrek. The first is the Manual 2.0i, followed by the Premium version. There’s also the CVT 2.0i Premium and its Limited counterpart. Generally, this 4WD SUV runs on a regular unleaded H-4, 2.0-liter. While there are CVT upgrade options, expect the unit to come with manual transmission as a standard.
For fuel economy, it’s been EPA-rated to have 23 mpg in city, 30 on highway, and 26 for combined. Your fuel tank gets an approximate 15.9 gallons max, so that’s a lot of mileage you can enjoy.
Safety Features
For every adventure that you take on, you must be ready for any emergency that may occur. Being prepared with a contingency should help get you a more secure travel on the road. For the 2017 iteration, you’ll be getting up to five kinds of airbags located in strategic positions such as in front of the driver and front seat passenger, and side body airbags for both front and rear seats.
If you’re riding with children, it’s important that you keep them secure in the cabin. The child safety rear door locks should help prevent any untoward incident involving accidental opening of doors. Daytime Running Lights, traction control, and fog lamps also help you even through challenging driving conditions.
Better Driving Overall
With the 2017 Subaru Crosstrek, you’re not only driving safe, but also, you’re driving smart. Technologies have been implemented to further assist you in getting to your destination as quickly and as safely as possible.
There’s the Electronic Stability Control (ESC), low tire pressure warning, parking assist, backup camera, and more. Of course, you can expect to have niftier features the higher you go up the trim levels. The Limited version, for example, brings the luxury inside the Crosstrek’s cabin with leather seating, insulated windshield for better noise reduction, automatic climate control, and color driver-information display.
If you want to get the Premium, you can also avail of Subaru’s EyeSight driver-assistance features, such as adaptive cruise control, collision warning, blind-spot monitoring, and automated emergency braking, among others.
