Subaru unveiled the Japanese specification prototype of the new “CROSSTREK” for the first time in the world on September 15, 2022. For the new third-generation model, the names “CROSSTREK” and “SUBARU XV”, which have been used differently depending on the market, have been unified into “CROSSTREK” globally. Starting with the introduction to the Japanese market (scheduled for 2023 or later), we plan to gradually introduce it to markets around the world.

Subaru New “Crosstrek” full model change

As the successor to “SUBARU XV,” the vehicle name will be unified globally as “CROSSTREK . ” The new SUV “CROSSTREK” further emphasizes the unique design of the conventional model and further refines the dynamic texture. In addition to the new-generation EyeSight, a wide-angle monocular camera has been adopted for the first time as a Japanese specification, realizing high safety performance. The collision safety potential of the Subaru Global Platform, which was highly evaluated even in the conventional model, has been further enhanced, and the latest knowledge and technology has been applied, including the adoption of a full inner frame structure, expanded application of structural adhesives, and improved rigidity of the suspension mounting points. It was crowded. In frontal collisions, a collision subframe has been added that expands the bumper beam to the outside of the vehicle. In the event of a collision with another vehicle, the performance (compatibility) of protecting the occupants of the other side as well as the collision safety of the own vehicle has been improved. As with the Legacy Outback, a new frontal collision test called “MPDB (Mobile Progressive Deformable Barrier)” has been introduced to evaluate compatibility, assuming an actual frontal collision accident. It adopts the connected function “SUBARU STARLINK” that the previous XV did not have.

exterior design

The high position of the hood that gives a sense of thickness expresses strength. The sharp front grill bar and LED headlamps give the front mask a light and fearless image. Subaru’s first adoption of “Full LED high & low beam lamps + LED cornering lamps”. The upper grade uses 18-inch aluminum wheels. A total of nine exterior colors are available, including the new colors Offshore Blue Metallic and Oasis Blue.

interior design

By adopting a multi-layered structure of multiple materials, the instrument panel has a simple yet expressive design that makes the most of the texture of each material. The upper surface of the center console has been raised to express a sense of envelopment and quality, while also improving operability. In addition, the interior has been tailored to give you a sense of ease of use by enhancing the storage with ingenuity. Fabric (silver stitch) for advanced grades. Standard grade uses tricot (silver stitch). A genuine leather seat is also available as a manufacturer-installed option. A large 11.6-inch center information display has been newly adopted , greatly enhancing the function of linking with smartphones. The Digital Multi-View Monitor , a first for Subaru, combines images from four cameras to display a 360-degree view around the vehicle .

Adoption of new-generation EyeSight

A triple camera (stereo camera unit + wide-angle monocular camera) is used to improve performance. The angle of view of the new stereo camera unit has been greatly expanded to about twice that of the conventional model. The image recognition software and control software have been improved to enable recognition over a wider and farther range. In addition to changing to a windshield-mounted type, a lens hood was adopted to prevent accidental contact with the lens. The wide-angle monocular camera (a first for SUBARU in the Japanese market) has a wider angle than the new stereo camera and is capable of recognizing motorcycles and pedestrians when driving at low speeds. The range of situations that can be handled with the pre-crash brake has been expanded to achieve the best performance of all-time EyeSight.
