2013 Subaru XV Crosstrek Limited Wagon 4-Door 2.0L

Detailed item info Model OverviewAll XV Crosstreks come with a 2. 0L 4-cylinder boxer engine making 148 horsepower. This engine is mated to either a 5-speed manual transmission or a continuously variable transmission (CVT) which is able to mimic the function of a traditional automatic while maximizing fuel efficiency. This is how the XV Crosstrek is able to achieve its stellar 33mpg highway figure. Both drivetrains come equipped with all-wheel-drive. a specialty of Subaru. Subaru is serious about making sure the XV Crosstrek comes well-equipped from the factory. Accordingly the vehicle comes in two trim levels: Premium and Limited. Premium equipped cars come with plenty of useful features. The standard stereo has six speakers. iPod controllability. an auxiliary input jack. a USB port and Bluetooth connectivity with live audio streaming. Interior amenities include heated seats. steering wheel mounted audio and cruise control. a tilting and telescoping wheel. a removable cargo mat with plenty of tie down hooks. a hill assist function to keep the car from rolling back on inclines. keyless entry. power windows and door locks and of course air conditioning. The Premium model comes standard with a 5-speed manual. but the CVT transmission is optional. Limited XV Crosstreks come standard with the CVT transmission. automatic climate control. automatic headlights. leather upholstery. a 4. 3 inch LCD screen. nicer instruments and a backup camera. Options on both models include a navigation system and a power moonroof. Amenities aside. the XV is simply a good package. All-wheel-drive vehicles must make accommodations for a driveshaft and rear differential. but fold down the 60/40 rear seats and the XV reveals a flat load floor with nearly 52 cubic feet of carrying space. Rear seat legroom is also impressive with space comparable to many mid-sized family sedans. Subaru has taken particular care with the safety features of the XV Crosstrek. It has all the standard electronic safety nets. including traction control. anti-lock brakes and stability control. The anti-lock brakes also feature a panic braking sensor that anticipates a panic braking situation and immediately applies full braking load. The front airbags are dual stage and include a mechanism to detect how close the driver is sitting to the steering wheel. delaying airbag deployment accordingly.
