Like any well-planned passing of the torch, the second-generation 2018 Subaru Crosstrek takes the best of the previous generation and makes it even better. In the 2018 Subaru Crosstrek model’s case, it retains the sharp design, fluid handling, and unbeatable value of its predecessor while upping cabin quality to a brand-new level and integrating a revised chassis and suspension combination. This latter change, when paired with the 2018 Subaru Crosstrek model’s generous ground clearance, gives this crossover SUV an all-terrain upper hand on its competition.
Another thing that hasn’t changed (and never will) is the fact that every 2018 Subaru Crosstrek near Baltimore, MD comes standard with all-wheel drive (AWD). This ubiquitous drivetrain pairs with a six-speed manual transmission on the entry-level and midrange trims, and a continuously variable transmission (CVT) on the range-topping 2018 Subaru Crosstrek 2.0i Limited. Also, our customers will be happy to hear that this year’s CVT includes a special driving mode for enhanced off-road control.
All three trims utilize a 2.0L 4C engine rated that outputs 152hp and delivers superb fuel economy and solid highway acceleration. This engine powers 17-inch wheels on the entry-level 2018 Subaru Crosstrek 2.0i and the midrange 2018 Subaru Crosstrek 2.0 Premium, and 18-inch wheels on the 2018 Subaru Crosstrek 2.0i Limited. The latter trim also delivers a nice selection of high-end standard equipment, including leather seating, automatic climate control, a six-way power driver seat, a large 8-inch display, and adaptive LED headlights.
The 2018 Subaru Crosstrek is making waves nationwide, especially on the East Coast where wintertime weather can get dicey. Speaking of which, it’s that time of year to visit Heritage Subaru Owings Mills and test drive a stalwart SUV like the 2018 Subaru Crosstrek, or an equally AWD-capable sedan like a used Subaru Impreza near Towson, MD!
