Key Specs and Features of the 2023 Subaru Crosstrek

Interior Specifications

The 2023 Crosstrek is a practical and versatile car, as the interior specs demonstrate. It has a passenger volume of 100.9 cu ft and can seat five people comfortably. This is reflected in the legroom available to passengers, with  43.1 inches in the front and 36.7 inches in the rear.

Cargo volume is also generous, as the vehicle has up to 20.8 cubic ft behind the rear seats, which increases to up to 55.3 cu ft with this row lowered. Seats can be split in a 40/60 configuration with slightly reduced space for the Hybrid model.

Mechanical Specifications

Plenty of power is at your disposal in the Crosstrek, with 2.0L and 2.5L engines available dependent on the model. Both are 4-cylinder and can generate up to 152 or 182 hp and 145 and 175 lb-ft of torque, respectively. The Hybrid variant uses the 2.0L unit in combination with an AC Synchronous motor giving a combined 148 hp and 149 lb-ft of torque.

All models are all-wheel-drive and can deliver between 27/28 mpg for the city and 32/33 mpg on the highway, while the Hybrid can provide up to 90 mpg-e. With a  towing capacity of between 1,000 and 1,500 lbs, the X-Mode traction control system, and a ground clearance of 8.7 inches, the car is a fantastic multi-purpose all-surface vehicle.

Technology Features

Infotainment is built around either a 6.5 or 8-inch touchscreen incorporating Subaru’s STARLINK multimedia technology. This provides integration with Apple and Android devices, voice control, and Bluetooth streaming, with cloud-based resources available with the 8-inch system.

Additional tech features can include a 6.3-inch multifunction display on select models that shows real-time information such as fuel economy, weather, and the car’s current active systems. On the Hybrid model, this is supplemented with metrics detailing energy flow and battery status.

Safety Features

The Crosstrek comes with an array of safety features, both mechanical and tech-based. All models feature the Supplemental Restraint System, a comprehensive airbag setup that protects both driver and passengers. A four-wheel anti-lock braking system is also standard across the range.

There are also plenty of active driving management tools available with Subaru’s EyeSight Assist suite of features fitted on select models or as an option on others. Its highlights include Adaptive Cruise Control and Pre-Collision Braking systems.
