Whenever a carmaker comes up with a new nameplate, it comes with the expectation that the overall experience would be new and transformative. Yet when Subaru decided to axe the “XV” name in favor of “Crosstrek,” the resulting crossover feels like it took two steps forward and two steps back. It continues the Subaru XV’s careful, and at times, painfully slow evolution. To be fair, the crossover formerly known as the XV, is hard to beat.
Those expecting typical luxury accoutrements like a soft-padded dash will likewise be disappointed in the new Crosstrek. While the previous Subaru XV had it , it’s been chucked for what the brand calls a “multi-material structure.” It’s supposed to help the Crosstrek embrace its rugged nature, and it’s playful and daring for sure, but it also cheapens out the entire experience. If only they retained the soft-touch material on the dash’s gray portion , it would have been great.
Like the previous Subaru XV, the new Crosstrek rides on the Subaru Global Platform. However, it’s been updated to accommodate learnings from the WRX like an expanded use of structural adhesives. The suspension mounting points have been firmed up too. This results in a much more solid structure, enabling it to quell the worst patched Manila roads. It also does so with utmost confidence and poise thanks to its long travel suspension.
