- Unique exterior and interior design

- Standard 2.5-liter engine and improved 3,500 lb. towing capacity
- Starting price of $31,995
Combining Subaru's renowned Symmetrical
All-Wheel Drive with a revised drivetrain, standard X-MODE, elevated
9.3-inch ground clearance and exclusive body cladding, the 2024
Crosstrek Wilderness is the most rugged and trail-capable Crosstrek
ever.
With an already impressive list of standard features, the Crosstrek
Wilderness adds exclusive mechanical, design, and functional
enhancements for added capability on the roads and trails less traveled.
Critically, the rugged new model preserves the Crosstrek's renowned
blend of SUV capability and car-like ride and handling. Numerous
exterior and interior details make the Crosstrek Wilderness especially
suited to carrying outdoor gear, even when wet or muddy.
The Crosstrek Wilderness is powered by a 2.5-liter direct-injection
SUBARU BOXER® engine, with 182 hp and 176 lb-ft of torque. Subaru
engineered the Crosstrek Wilderness drivetrain for better off-road
performance by installing a revised differential gear ratio and retuned
Lineartronic CVT. The 4.111 final drive ratio (vs. 3.700) improves the
SUV's climbing ability and the new tuning for the CVT optimizes traction
at low speeds and on slippery surfaces. Additionally, maximum towing
capacity more than doubles to 3,500 lb. thanks to the addition of a
transmission oil cooler.
Like all 2024 Crosstrek models, the Wilderness is equipped with the
brand's award-winning EyeSight® Driver Assist Technology, which includes
Advanced Adaptive Cruise Control; Pre-Collision Braking; Pre-Collision
Throttle Management; Lane Departure and Sway Warning, and Lead Vehicle
Start Alert. In addition, Blind-Spot Detection with Lane Change Assist
and Rear Cross-Traffic Alert are standard on the new model.Â
The Crosstrek Wilderness also comes standard with Automatic Emergency
Steering. The feature works in conjunction with EyeSight and Blind-Spot
Detection to assist with steering control to help avoid a collision at
speeds less than 50 mph. Standard Reverse Automatic Braking adds an
extra measure of safety in tight trail situations and while parking.
Design + Function = Unique Wilderness Style
Like the other Wilderness models, the Crosstrek Wilderness design blends
trail-enhanced function with style that also turns heads. To visually
communicate the more capable off-road performance, the Crosstrek
Wilderness adds exclusive styling with all-new front and rear bumpers,
bold hexagonal front grille, larger wheel arch cladding, metal front
skid plate, unique hex-design LED fog lights and an anti-glare hood
decal in matte-black finish.
Subaru Wilderness badges are emblazoned on the front doors and rear
gate. A body-color roof spoiler and black side mirrors with integrated
turn signals complement the SUV's rugged look. Among the exterior colors
offered, the Crosstrek Wilderness is available in Geyser Blue, which is
exclusive to the Wilderness family.
The Crosstrek Wilderness features a versatile ladder-type roof rack
system, with a 176 lb. dynamic load capacity and a 700-lb. static load
limit, allowing safe use of larger roof-top tents. The roof rail design
provides flexibility to fit a wide variety of carrying accessories,
including Genuine Subaru Accessories available from Subaru retailers.
Off-Road Capability
Exclusive suspension components give the 2024 Crosstrek Wilderness
9.3-inch ground clearance, more than a half-inch increase over the other
Crosstrek models, which already were among the highest in their
segment. Longer coil springs and shock absorbers provide the added
ground clearance, while special tuning helps maintain dynamic
performance.
Longer travel strokes for the front and rear shock absorbers help keep
the tires in contact with rough surfaces, increasing vehicle stability.
In addition, a longer dampening compression stroke helps increase
absorption on rough road surfaces, providing a smoother ride. Even with
its added ground clearance, the Crosstrek Wilderness maintains a low
step-in height for ease of entry.
Â
The approach angle is increased from 18.0 degrees in other Crosstrek
models to 20.0 degrees on the Wilderness; the angle of departure
increases from 30.1 to 33.0 degrees, and ramp breakover angle moves up
from 19.7 to 21.1 degrees.
The Crosstrek Wilderness comes equipped with Yokohama GEOLANDAR®
all-terrain tires for optimal performance in mud, gravel or
snow. Mounted on exclusive 17-inch alloy wheels in matte-black finish,
the tires are embossed with raised white letters.
X-MODE for Maximum Control
The Crosstrek Wilderness is equipped with Subaru's driver-selectable
dual-function X-MODE. The system offers Snow / Dirt and Deep Snow / Mud
modes. To help maximize traction in varying conditions, each mode
specifically optimizes the engine output and CVT ratio positions,
increases the Active All-Wheel Drive engagement and enhances the control
logic of the Vehicle Dynamics Control with Traction Control System. The
X-MODE display features a Roll-Angle Indicator to help the driver judge
potentially hazardous situations.
This technology also helps make Crosstrek Wilderness a nimble climber.
When the X-MODE system is activated, Low Speed / Low Ratio Gradient
Control is automatically put on standby to sense when the vehicle is
traveling on a steep incline at low speed. When it does, the system
shifts the CVT to its lowest ratio (4.066:1). Combined with the
Wilderness model's lower differential ratios, the system also enhances
rough off-pavement, low-speed drivability over rocks and other
situations that require repeated on/off accelerator usage.
Standard Hill Descent Control will automatically engage individual wheel
braking control on downgrades when the vehicle is driven under 12 mph
with the accelerator pedal pressed less than about 10 percent, thereby
helping to control vehicle speed. Active Torque Vectoring, standard on
all 2024 Crosstrek models, enhances handling stability on road or trail.
An Interior designed for the Outdoors
Inside, Subaru equipped the Crosstrek Wilderness cabin for comfort and
durability. The seats are upholstered in comfortable, water-resistant
Subaru StarTex® material that features the Subaru Wilderness logo
embossed in the front headrests. Bold copper colored contrast stitching
accents the interior, complementing the anodized copper-finish accents
on the shifter, gauge meter rings and leather-wrapped steering wheel.
Upon entering the vehicle, the driver is greeted with a Wilderness logo
appearing in the meter display at start-up.
Black pillar trim, assist grips, overhead console, and headliner pairs
well with the Gunmetal Grey trim used on the dash, doors, and shifter
plate. Standard all-weather floor mats feature a unique Wilderness
design. In the cargo area, a removable water-resistant rear cargo tray
protects the load floor from wet, muddy gear tossed in the back. The
rear gate comes equipped with an LED light for better nighttime
visibility.Â
The Wilderness comes standard with the SUBARU STARLINK 11.6-inch
Multimedia Plus system. The 11.6-inch high-resolution touchscreen is
equipped with wireless Apple CarPlay® and wireless Android Auto™ with
full screen display. Additional features include Bluetooth® hands-free
phone and audio streaming connectivity; AM/FM stereo; rear vision
camera; SiriusXM® All-Access Radio and SiriusXM Travel Link® (4-month
free Platinum Plan); HD Radio®; and over-the-air updates.
The multimedia system also works as a center information display with
combination meter integration and on-screen controls for audio, climate,
and vehicle functions. The Wilderness is also equipped with a wireless
phone charger in the center console.
Competitively Priced Adventure Compact SUV
Starting at $31,995, the Crosstrek Wilderness comes with an extensive
list of standard features including Keyless Access with Push-Button
Start; steering responsive LED headlights; SI-Drive engine performance
management system; and Tire Pressure Monitoring System with individual
tire display and automatic individual wheel ID registration. The SUV is
also equipped with USB-A and USB-C ports in the front and rear of the
center console; dual zone automatic climate control; and the All-Weather
Package with heated front seats, windshield and exterior mirrors.
An available option package for Wilderness includes Power Moonroof;
10-way power driver seat with 2-way lumbar support; and a Harman Kardon®
10-speaker system with 432-watt equivalent amplifier for an MSRP of
$2,270.
The Wilderness will be built at Subaru of Indiana Automotive
in Lafayette, Indiana along with the other two Crosstrek 2.5-liter
models, Ascent, Legacy and Outback.
