Rugged Performance and All-Weather Capability

With an EPA-estimated 24 city and 28 hwy MPG, you can enjoy long highway stretches and daily commutes with fewer stops at the pump. Subaru's legendary Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive system works in harmony with Selectable Terrain Modes to provide maximum traction on slippery roads, mud, or loose gravel. Built to handle more demanding paths, the Wilderness trim features an off-road ride suspension and a protective underbody skid plate to shield vital components. Riding on 17-inch matte black finish aluminum-alloy wheels wrapped in rugged all-terrain tires, this vehicle is engineered to conquer tough conditions with absolute confidence.
Advanced Technology and Seamless Connectivity
Modern journeys require modern convenience, and this crossover delivers with a high-tech, connected cabin. The centerpiece of the dashboard is the Subaru 11.6-inch Multimedia Navigation System, which features intuitive touchscreen controls and wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto integration for effortless smartphone mirroring. Keep your devices powered up without messy cords using the integrated wireless device charging pad. Audiophiles will appreciate the premium Harman/kardon Speaker System, utilizing an 11-speaker layout and a 576W amplifier to deliver crystal-clear sound throughout the cabin.
