Performance
The Crosstrek comes with two powertrain options. It comes standard with a four-cylinder engine that produces 152 horsepower. The engine is suitable for daily driving and is accompanied by a continuously variable transmission, but you can opt for the six-speed manual. Enthusiast drivers will have to consider the available powertrain, a four-cylinder with 182 horsepower. Unlike the base engine, which offers an optional transmission, the optional engine only comes with the CVT.
For people around Knox County, TN, where most areas are rocky, the Subaru Crosstrek is a good pick for such terrain. It boasts some off-road features like its firm suspension that ensures a smooth ride by soaking up the bumps and ditches. The suspension also gives it an adequate ground clearance of about 8.7 inches, contributing to its off-road capability.
Whichever engine you choose, you will get good gas mileage ratings. The base engine records 33 mpg and 28 mpg on the highway and city, respectively. The manual transmission will drop the ratings. Therefore, if you are focused on saving, we suggest you stick with the CVT.
Interior
As a two-row SUV, the Crosstrek can accommodate up to five passengers. Both rows are comfortable due to the ample legroom and headroom. Behind the rear seats, you will get a spacious cargo area to fit in several carry-on bags. You can opt for water-repellent leather upholstery, adjustable front seats, and heated seats for more convenience. Other appealing aesthetics Sevierville shoppers can come across include orange stitching, faux carbon-fiber trim, glove box, engine immobilizer, and carpet floor trim. There is a setup for developing a child car seat in the second row, which includes a tether anchor and a duo of LATCH connectors.
