Subaru Canada, Inc. (SCI) today announced that it is expanding its line of award-winning vehicles to include the all-new 2013 XV Crosstrek. The versatile Subaru XV Crosstrek, which arrives this fall, was first shown in Canada during the auto show circuit and received an overwhelmingly positive response. The Subaru XV Crosstrek fits within an emerging sub-segment of the compact SUV category commonly known as a crossover vehicle. As such, the XV Crosstrek will nicely complement Subaru's lineup as this new addition is intended to attract new buyers looking to put Subaru on their comparison list. The Subaru XV Crosstrek also adds unique value to the ever-growing crossover segment as it's designed to thoroughly satisfy the needs of a diverse range of customers. Combining a bold five-door design with the functionality and versatility of an SUV, the XV Crosstrek blends impressive fuel efficiency, excellent handling and driving dynamics into the mix, making it especially fun to drive. The new Subaru XV Crosstrek will debut at the 2012 New York International Auto Show.
Subaru based the new XV Crosstrek on the Impreza platform, making significant changes to the chassis and body and configuring interior standard equipment and options specifically for this new model.
All 2013 Subaru XV Crosstrek models are powered by a 148-hp 2.0-litre SUBARU BOXER engine, teamed to Subaru's vaunted symmetrical full-time All-Wheel Drive via a 5-speed manual transmission or available second-generation Lineartronic CVT (continuously variable transmission).
Although official EPA fuel economy figures are not yet available, Subaru anticipates that the 2013 XV Crosstrek will achieve top-of-class fuel efficiency with manufacturer-estimated fuel economy figures of 8.2 L/100 KM city and 6.0 L/100 KM highway. In addition, the 60-litre fuel tank in the XV Crosstrek is 5 litres greater than that in the Impreza.
