2026 Subaru Crosstrek 2.0S AWD

The 2026 Subaru Crosstrek 2.0S is a well-equipped medium SUV that combines a compact footprint with the everyday confidence of symmetrical all-wheel drive. Finished in Sand Dune Pearl, this new example is powered by a 2.0-litre horizontally opposed four-cylinder petrol engine and uses Subaru's Lineartronic CVT. Its five-door layout and five-seat cabin make it a practical choice for commuting, errands and longer trips where flexibility matters.

All-wheel drive is central to the Crosstrek's character, providing a reassuring foundation across changing road conditions. The 2.0S also includes X-Mode with two modes, Active Torque Vectoring and Subaru Intelligent Drive, giving the vehicle a broader range of responses when travelling beyond smooth urban streets. Ground clearance is listed at 220mm, while the 18-inch alloy wheels and dark grey roof rails add useful visual distinction without compromising the SUV's practical design.

Inside, the specification focuses on comfort and connectivity. Leather-accented seats, heated front seats and electric driver's lumbar support help make the cabin more accommodating during extended drives. Dual-zone climate control allows front occupants to set their preferred temperature, while the leather steering wheel, leather gear shift and sports pedals add a more considered feel to the driver's environment. A panoramic 360-degree view monitor, rear-view camera and rear parking sensors assist with visibility when manoeuvring in tighter spaces.

The infotainment equipment is similarly comprehensive. An 11.6-inch touchscreen provides the main interface, supported by satellite navigation, digital radio, Bluetooth hands-free communication, wireless smartphone charging and Apple CarPlay and Android Auto connectivity. The 10-speaker Harman Kardon audio system with amplifier gives the Crosstrek a stronger entertainment focus, while voice command recognition helps reduce the need to operate functions manually.

Safety and driver-assistance technology cover both routine travel and more demanding traffic situations. Adaptive cruise control, lane centring, lane departure warning and lane departure prevention support longer highway journeys. Blind-spot monitoring, lane-change assist and rear cross-traffic alert help with awareness around the vehicle, while Subaru's pre-collision braking, pre-collision brake assist, autonomous emergency steering and reverse automatic braking provide additional layers of assistance. High Beam Assist, steering-responsive headlights and dusk-sensing self-levelling LED headlights further support visibility.

The Crosstrek's practical strengths extend to its flexible cabin, with 60/40 split-fold rear seats allowing the cargo area to be adapted for larger loads. Electric sunroof, privacy glass, heated and power-folding exterior mirrors, smart key entry and push-button ignition add convenience to the daily driving experience. With a 1,400kg braked towing capacity and 650kg unbraked capacity listed, it also offers useful versatility for compatible recreational or household towing duties.
