2024 Subaru Crosstrek Wilderness: Standard Tech & Safety Features, Off-Road Specs & Starting MSRP.

The 2024 Subaru Crosstrek Wilderness is the newest member of the brand’s popular small SUV family. Taking cues from the trail-ready Wilderness variants of the Outback and Forester Wilderness, the first-ever Crosstrek Wilderness slides between the Sport and Limited trims to make it the brand’s most trail-capable small crossover yet.

We lovingly nominated the Subaru Crosstrek for our list of the best small SUVs for 2023 for offering 8.7 inches of ground clearance, standard all-wheel drive, and family-friendly ride comfort. We also dig the 2024 Crosstrek’s sub-$27,000 base price. However, there’s something about the Crosstrek Wilderness that will make loyal Subaru fans all warm and fuzzy inside.

2024 Subaru Crosstrek Wilderness: What’s New?
During the 2023 Chicago Auto Show, Subaru unveiled the 2024 Crosstrek as the third-generation variant of its bestselling compact SUV. The new vehicle looks similar to the outgoing model to the untrained eye, but the 2024 Crosstrek is built on a lighter and more rigid Subaru Global Platform. In addition to the updated styling, Subaru ditched the manual gearbox for an all-CVT lineup, and we can’t help but wonder about the fun that awaits if the newest Crosstrek Wilderness came with a manual.

But alas, it wasn’t meant to be. So instead, the Crosstrek Wilderness pairs a 2.5-liter Boxer four-cylinder with a retooled Lineartronic continuously variable automatic transmission (CVT). The engine sends 182 horsepower and 178 lb-ft. of torque to all four wheels via a standard Symmetrical all-wheel drive system and a revised differential (4.11 final drive ratio) to fortify the crossover’s climbing prowess and off-road capabilities.

According to Subaru, the CVT’s updated tuning and the added transmission oil cooler increase the maximum towing capacity of the Crosstrek Wilderness to 3,500 lbs.
