2018 Subaru Crosstrek Drivers From Torrington Call It A Success

Subaru Crosstrek was a success at dealers like Torrington area Subaru dealers because of its rugged styling, perfect size and economical price. 2018 sees the emergence of the second-generation Crosstrek, and all indications are it will please customers even more than the previous generation. This subcompact crossover SUV delivers agile handling, eye-catching looks and outstanding value. You'll love the upgraded cabin, which gives the interior of the 2018 Subaru Crosstrek a more sophisticated look. You'll get a smooth ride, too, thanks to the revamped suspension and stiffer chassis.

Other subcompact crossovers don't offer the kind of upscale options found in the 2018 Crosstrek. According to area Torrington Subaru dealers, this includes a premium stereo setup and Subaru's EyeSight suite of advanced safety equipment. EyeSight comes with adaptive cruise control, lane departure warning, automatic emergency braking and more. The upper trims have options like automatic high beams and reverse automatic braking. Anyone looking for the perfect combination of all-weather ability and value should place the 2018 Subaru Crosstrek at the top of their shopping list.

Changes for 2018 include an upgraded engine, a new chassis, a more upmarket interior and added standard features such as Apple CarPlay/Android Auto compatibility and improved driver-assist features.
