9 Subaru Crosstrek Wilderness Features Get It Far Away From The Competition

For active customers looking to get further off the grid, the new 2024 Subaru Crosstrek is almost here. The rugged Wilderness trim level arrives this fall, and here are nine things that set it far apart from the competition.

Off-Road Wheels with All-Terrain Tires

Subaru says standard 17-inch matte black-finish alloy off-road wheels "add powerful, practical style" and feature all-terrain Yokohama Geolander tires for improved mud, snow, gravel, and rock performance.

Subaru Boxer engine and revised drivetrain gearing

The 182-horsepower, 2.5-liter Subaru engine with a lower final-drive ratio for improved low-speed climbing is designed for serious off-roaders, with up to a 38-degree grade and a more substantial rear differential.

9.3 Inches of ground clearance with front skid plate, improved angles, and dual-function X-Mode.

Standard dual-function X-Mode provides settings that can optimize traction for varying conditions, including dirt, deep snow, and mud.

3,500-pound towing capacity

If you have cargo and bikes or larger equipment like boats, the Crosstrek Wilderness lets you haul the gear you need for your latest expedition with 3,500 pounds of towing capacity.

Standard roof rails

The standard roof rails on the Crosstrek Wilderness can handle up to 700 pounds of static load for bikes, kayaks, or even a rooftop tent. Extra tie-down points provide even more cargo-hauling versatility, so you can bring any gear you need.
