ABOUT THE 2.0I XV CROSSTREK

What is it...

In 1996 Subaru took a Legacy L station wagon and added 2.3" ground clearance (to 7.3"), added two-tone paint, alloy wheels, a bump in the roof, special seat fabric, and oversized fog lights and called it a Legacy Outback (later just known as the Outback).  Advertising featured very popular Australian actor Paul Hogan playing around in an Outback in the Australian Outback. Sales immediately took off.  Outback sales soared.
15 years later, in 2012,
Subaru took an Impreza hatchback and added 2.7" ground clearance (to 8.7"), then added flashy alloy wheels, bulging plastic wheel arch moldings, fog light surrounds, a slightly larger gas tank, and called it a XV Crosstrek. Advertising featured a young man and his best-friend chocolate lab puppy growing older together. Sales immediately took off.

2013 2.0i XV Crosstrek is the first Impreza based crossover/SUV.
It is a slightly modified Impreza 5door hatchback.
It's the next step in the natural evolution of the Impreza Outback Sport (1993-2011), and 2.0i Sport (2012).

It has 8.7" ground clearance, strengthened suspension points, fender flares, larger gas tank, dark tinted windows,  and other upgrades.
It shares the body, interior, 2.0L engine, CVT transmission, and chassis of the Impreza 5 door but for advertising purposes is going to be marketed independently from the Imprezas as a separate model line.
It
competes directly with the Impreza Sport 5 door.

4/1 2014 Crosstrek hybrid shown at NY Auto Show. March 29-April 7.
The car is expect later in 2013
2014 Crosstrek webpage

Finally, a Subaru hybrid! 
After years of rumors and delays,
an all new Crosstrek Hybrid, Subaru's first production hybrid, will be available late 2013.
The electric motor is used from 0-25 MPH when the 2.0L gas engine starts and takes over.
EPA city/highway combined economy is 28/34/ 31MPG, a small but reasonable improvement over the non-hybrid Crosstrek's 25/33 28 MPG.
The hybrid will have a smaller and lighter 13.7 gallon fuel tank vs the 15.9 in the standard models, and other aerodynamic changes announced to enhance economy: an 'active front grill shutter system', redesigned 17" alloy wheels, a/c temperature and humidity sensor to lower the a/c power draw.
Other changes include more sound insulation, and tweaked suspension and steering to accommodate the increased weight. The hybrid components (engine, battery) weight 209lbs, and with other changes, it comes to around 300lbs total  Its a standard Crosstrek 5 door, with active all wheel drive, the same body and size as the normal one with some hybrid-specific enhancements, and 8.7" ground clearance. Cargo volume is only slightly less (1.7cf) due to the battery under the cargo floor.
It has the standard 148hp 4 cylinder 2.0L engine plus the new 13.5kW 100v nickle-metal-hydride battery under the rear cargo area floor.
The electric motor is sandwiched between the CVT and the all wheel drive's electronic transfer clutches. There's an integrated starter/generator for stop/start functions, and brake regeneration system that recharges the battery when the car is coasting or the driver is braking.

The Standard features announced so far on the Hybrid are a combination of the 2013 Premium and Limited features. It will have a cloth interior, All Weather package, rear back-up camera, info display power windows/locks/mirrors, cruise control, climate control, roof rails, auto dusk-to-dawn headlights, rear sear armrest with cupholders, manual height adjustable driver's seat, cargo tray, cargo cover, chrome outside door handles, LED taillights, leather steering wheels and shift knob. The interior with will have a cool blue theme with silver trim, and matching instrument panel.
The upper console info display sounds like its being upgraded to something similar to the 2014 Foresters color display and will include the hybrid system "energy flow"
New features on the hybrid that are not available on the 2013 Crosstrek (yet, perhaps they will be optional on the 14 Limited), include turn signals in the outside mirrors and keyless access/pushbutton start. Options will include leather interior, Navigation/GPS with XM satellite radio, and power moonroof.
Hybrid badges will be behind the front wheels and on the tailgate.
Prices have no been announced but its anticipated to bring a small premium over the current Limited.
Plasma Green with only be available on the hybrid.

The Crosstreks are slowly trickling in. Many of the cars are pre-sold so they won't show up in inventory searches. Some of the reserved or sold cars will be for sale however, as folks who pre-ordered don't complete the purchase. More cars are expected in the first few weeks of October. Many dealers are only getting a few of each model per month. This relates directly to production being spread out over the 237 Impreza variants (the Crosstrek is based on the Impreza).


9/2 New options-  Remote Engine Start, and Illumination Kit (LED in the footwells), will be available in the future (late availability)

8/16 prices announced, destination is $795 ($945 to Ak).

3/22/12 XV Crosstrek will be at the NY Auto ShowThe 2013 XV Crosstrek is the Impreza that won't be called an Impreza.
Its expected to arrive August/September.
Based on the Impreza 5 door, it has the 148hp 2.0L Impreza engine with the 5 speed manual or CVT transmission with paddle shifters. Just like the Impreza Sport, the Crosstrek is available in 2 trim levels, Premium and Limited.  The Crosstrek has 8.7" ground clearance, black side moldings, rocker panel, and wheel arch moldings, dark tinted privacy glass, and a slightly larger 15.9 gallon gas tank instead of the 14.5 gallon tank in the Imprezas. The grill, 17" alloys, front and rear bumpers are slightly different from the standard Impreza.
There are 2 models- Premium and Limited. The Premium come standard with the 5 speed manual, the CVT is optional, and standard on the Limited model. MPG is expected to be 25/33, 28 combined which is the same as the Impreza 5door manual. Remember that MPG estimates are based on a mix of driving, and your mileage may be less. Short trips, cold weather, fast freeway speeds, stop and go driving all lower economy.
Standard equipment includes roof rails, power windows, locks and mirrors, tilt/telescoping wheel, manual height adjustable drivers seat,  immobilizer system with alarm, hands-free bluetooth, wireless audio streaming, USB, cargo tray and cargo/luggage cover. The All Weather Pkg is and CVT with paddle shifter is optional on the Premium. The Limited adds leather, CVT with paddle shifters, All Weather Pkg, Climate control, upgraded stereo with 4.3" screen, HD radio, and rear view backup camera (probably the Forester Limited/Touring stereo). rear seat armrest.  Optional on both Premium and Limited is the moonroof and 6.1" navigation/gps system.

3/5/12 Crosstrek review
"The latest petrol version of the Subaru is expected to make its debut in the United States in the second half of 2012. Subaru is going to market this vehicle in the United States market as the XV Crosstrek.
Why no turbodiesel variant in North America?
The only factor that is bothering auto experts who have had the opportunity of test driving the diesel variant is the fact that this version is not being made available to the North American markets. The strange affinity that has been developed for the diesel variant can be understood if its key features are discussed a bit. The turbodiesel engine has been mated to a six-speed manual transmission gearbox generating 145hp power and a more than impressive peak torque level of 258lb-ft. The engine is responsive and has impressive torque; its lower center of gravity gives it the stability factor that is further enhanced by the all-wheel-drive feature that Subaru offers. These entire factors combine together to provide you with all the factors that you wish your car has, including superior fuel economy if compared to its petrol variant. Strangely, this model is still going to remain confined to the European markets....
An overall analysis of the Crossover Impreza shows that it does not have anything new to offer that we have not seen in the Impreza hatchback except for the fact that is a much higher vehicle, which also has a more aggressive stance that is provided by its boosted suspension. Crossovers are turning out to be the in-demand cars these days both in Europe and the United States; hence even if minor changes are provided, they are always regarded as important...
During test drives, the vehicle has shown that it is sufficiently capable to handle off-road conditions as well with significant efficiency. Hence, this could prove to be a factor that could drive consumers towards this crossover. The 2013 Subaru XV Crosstrek can be best summed up as a vehicle that will be a solid performer with its all-wheel-drive feature that can provide you with a satisfying and smooth ride, thereby maintaining the tradition that is seen in most Subaru cars.  With just its petrol variant, Subaru expects to sell around 35,000 Crosstreks in the United States every year, which makes us wonder at the sales it could have achieved if the turbodiesel variant had also been brought in." read this entire article
1/22/12 Subaru Canada, Inc. today announced that it will exhibit the Subaru XV at the Canadian International AutoShow, being held at the Metro Toronto Convention Centre this February 17-26. This is the first time the Subaru XV will be shown in Canada and it will be unveiled at the Subaru press conference, scheduled for 1:45 PM on February 16. The Subaru XV is a production vehicle currently being sold in other markets, but it’s being shown in Canada in order to gather feedback and input from Canadians.
1/16/12 - The XV is expected to be on sale in China mid February, 2012.
12/15/11 It is expected to have the same 2.0L as the 2012 Impreza.
11/16/11 Announced at the LA auto that the XV Concept  will be called the XV Crosstrek here in the US. It might continue to be called the XV overseas.
Impreza XV concept with 8+" ground clearance shown at the Frankfurt auto show September 2011.

Comments and Observations and Things To Fix

Disclosure- The spouse and I ordered a silver Crosstrek Limited in September and it arrived in early December. We got the side moldings, tweeters, alarm upgrade, rear bumper cover, and crossbars. Would have gotten the moonroof except its bundled with navigation which I don't like at all, and we also would have gotten remote engine start and interior illumination but they weren't available then. We added the remote start at the dealer ($ ouch). I'm waiting to get Rally Armor mud flaps when they're available.
We like the higher seating position. Overall we are quite happy with the car and would buy it again.  It replaces her 2002 Impreza Outback Sport which replaced her 1997 Outback Sport.
> On engine power. Many car reviewers comment on the 148hp. I think the 2.0L has enough power for normal driving. It's not a fast car and the CVT doesn't respond to a light foot, but give it gas and it accelerates fine in town and on the freeway. I use the Paddle Shifters to downshift and zoom around (which I like to do). Again, it isn't a fast car, the CVT is a bit slow on take off which I suspect is partly due to way Subaru set it up with a tow rating of 1500 pounds. The bottom line is we didn't buy it power and its zippy enough even for going up steep hills, merging onto the freeway, or passing on 2 lane roads etc especially with the paddle shifters.
> On the CVT transmission. It's true that its a bit sluggish and makes a CVT noise instead of a gear noise. Going into reverse there is a slight brief short moment until it engages. Paddle shifts aren't crisp but work fine- its a belt after all, not a gear. It engages smoothly.
> On the ride. The ride is pliable and handling is acceptable. Bumps are not hard or jarring. The car handles quick lane changes without leaning and sits on the highway firmly without body sway.
> On noise. It is a bit noisy, but not so that one has to speak loudly.  There is tire and definitely wind noise, and there isn't much carpet padding to quiet the interior.  Its about what I'd expect from an Impreza or any similar size/price car. Conversations are fine at a normal voice level.
> Stereo. Its just ok. The phone bluetooth works great though sometimes getting the system to dial the right name requires repeated tries. The standard speakers are typically thin, tinny new car speakers but an aftermarket stereo shop is easily able to improve the sound by replacing at least the front 2 speakers (better to do all 4).
> Economy-  in short stop-and-go commute driving we're averaging 20mpg. The average MPH screen says we're doing about 19 mph which is pretty slow. On the freeway at 65mph we get just under 33mpg, at 80mph the economy drops to 29. Overall its a little less than I would like but no surprise.


Things I would like to see fixed
> The cargo area is definitely small and tight. The rear gate is too sloped and it would be much much better if the roof line was 5 inches longer. Its not the length of the cargo area, its the sloping of the rear gate that cuts into usable space. There's barely room for a medium size dog.
> Storage. The car is lacking storage places. There is no cargo area subfloor storage on any 2012 or 2013 Impreza 5 door, no good place to carry flashlights, rags, and other normal car gear other than stuffing it in the little corners around the spare tire. I know one Crosstrek owner who actually removed the spare tire in order to carry stuff!

> There is no upper windshield tint band! This is a noticeable omission. I'm in the NW so didn't notice it at first, but on a sunny day I certainly want one and got one put on aftermarket for $50. This should be on all models.
> Lumbar support is missing. There is none, there's no adjustable lumbar support. Otherwise the front seats are comfortable. The driver seat is height adjustable. No power seat is available- it would be nice to have this feature but its not necessary in my opinion.
> Wipers. The right front wiper leaves a streak at the bottom of the blade. With sufficient rain, due to the angle of the blade, the passenger side windshield wiper leaves a line at the bottom of the wiper blade in the passenger's line of sight. The angle of the right front wiper blade needs to be changed. Also, tapping the wiper stalk up makes the front wiper go once, it should also do the rear wiper once.
> Splash guards. Subaru splash guards are all too small. I'm going to install Rally Armor mud flaps when they're available.
> more to come

Front passenger airbag-  All 2013 Crosstreks, BRZs, and 2013/2012 Imprezas models use a front passenger seat Occupant Detection System called Electrostatic Capacitance Sensor ODS.
When anyone is seated or when anything is placed on the front passenger seat, there is a change to that capacitance value. This change in capacitance value is what the Electrostatic Capacitance Sensor ODS uses to determine whether the front passenger seat airbag (SRS) will be ON or OFF. When water or anything with high moisture content is spilled on the front passenger seat cushion, the airbag is designed to remain OFF until the seat cushion is dry. This will also be the case if the passenger has moisture on their clothing, such as rain-soaked pants or rain gear. In each of these situations, the airbag status may remain OFF even if a passenger is seated. Everything that is placed on the seat will affect a change in capacitance value. Plastic, metals and other substances, even if at a heavy weight, will not change the OFF status of an airbag. A false electrical charge, for example, those caused by laptops that are processing data, cellphones that are on or even an electric device connected to a car charger can cause the airbag status to switch to ON


EDR, Event Data Recorder information.
 I
n the event of an impact, the EDR will freeze data including how various systems were operating, for example if seatbelts were buckled, if the gas or brake pedals were pressed, and vehicle speed. No personal data is stored. To read data, special equipment is required. In addition to the vehicle manufacturer (Subaru), other parties such as law enforcement that have the equipment can read the information if they have access to the vehicle or EDR.  Existing laws generally provide that information in an EDR is confidential and is the property of the owner of the motor vehicle. Information is accessed through the airbag system using a Subaru service computer.

2013 Crosstrek, Impreza, Forester
Price Comparison Chart


prices are MSRP including destination (Crosstrek, Forester $795, Impreza $770)

are there too many Impreza models, and
should the Impreza Sport model be dropped?
  Compete? how much will the Crosstrek and Impreza Sport and perhaps even the larger Forester (X or X Premium model) compete directly with each other?

PZEV emissions
all Crosstreks are PZEV
What is PZEV, a brief summary  Partial Zero Emission Vehicle
The EPA says a PZEV is clean running gas engine car based on emissions testing for carbon-containing compounds, oxides of nitrogen, particulate matter, and other tailpipe nastiness.

1. A charcoal canister catches unburned gas left in the engine when it's turned off so it doesn't just evaporate. 

2. Fuel injectors that close tighter when they're not in use.

3. A finer mesh in the catalytic converter, as well as optimized placement of its precious metal.

4.  The engine's electronic brain is tuned to run the hot at start up to help the catalytic converter heat up so it can start doing its job faster.
Ground clearance 8.7 in.
Brakes
Brake Override System (BOS) when gas and brake pedal are both pressed, the brake overrides and the car stops
Brake Assist: when the brake pedal is pressed quickly, the system increases brake pressure for faster emergency stopping
Anti-lock, front and rear disc

Ordering a car.
What if the dealer doesn't have what I want?

The supply of Crosstreks is tight, just like with Imprezas, and there will be more buyers than cars.
Dealers get a limited number of cars each month. They have an Incoming report
You can put your name on one of the incoming cars.
Many incoming cars will be sold before they arrive.

That means a factory order might be the way to get the exact car and features you want.
Factory orders will be filled from your dealer's normal allocation of Crosstreks,
When first ordered, the ETA (Estimated Time of Arrival) will probably be a 'month of...' that is around 3-4 months out from the order date.
The order will then be filled as available but it will probably be in the 2-3 or even 4 month window.
Your dealer can also try to locate or find a suitable car for you at another dealer who is willing to swap Crosstreks.
Be patient, the dealer will want you get your car as quickly as possible.
