Your SUV’s raw ability is always at the forefront. Having the power and capability you need to seize the day is vital to your next chapter on the road. When your ride can command the land, you’ll be ready for anything.
Your drivetrain is a key indicator of performance. It dictates how energy keeps you moving forward and seeing more of the area. The HR-V comes standard with traditional front-wheel drive for a traditional feeling. It also has an available all-wheel drive system for more control, though Subaru still sets the standard.
The Subaru-exclusive Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive system makes the Crosstrek a fierce machine ready for anything. Energy is delivered from the engine to each wheel as needed to improve traction and grip on all surfaces. The Crosstrek is made for adventuring on rain-slicked pavement or bumpy dirt paths.
A dynamic drivetrain is only as good as the engine that powers it. A well-designed motor will give you more energy to help you conquer whatever stands before you. While the standard Crosstrek engine is on par with the HR-V, Subaru takes things further. Its available 2.5L engine easily outperforms the sole engine the HR-V offers.

An SUV should do more than just take you where you need to be. It should help make your day easier with amenities that help you stay connected and ready for what’s next. The more of these convenient features you have, the better.
After you and your friends spend the day taking photos, looking up places to eat, and texting others back home, you’ll be ready to turn in and head for lodging. You’ll need to charge your phone again to stream music, make calls, and more. Everyone needs an opportunity to top off their battery, and your car is the key.
If you’re riding in the HR-V, you’ll find that ports are limited. There are two ports in the center console for charging and one additional up front for data. The Crosstrek gives you even more opportunities with available twin illuminated USB-A and USB-C ports in the front and rear. These four ports allow you and your passengers to keep at 100% while on your way to the next site.
The call to adventure can come at any time. Whether heading out in the chilly early morning or cruising around in the midday sun, staying comfortable is important so your drive is even easier. The road trip will be much better when you and your passengers relax.
The HR-V has an automatic climate control system that makes setting the right temperature easy. However, it covers just one zone. The Crosstrek knows you and your copilot have your own preferences, so it comes with standard dual-zone automatic climate control. You can each set your own temperature and stay cool or warm.
Smarter tech makes driving a highlight of your day. Thanks to modern advancements, SUVs are safer and more connected than ever. The more of these systems you have at your command, the better.
Driver-assistive technologies are revolutionary systems that help protect you and your passengers. They work in the background to support your safe driving habits by keeping you alert and aware. Subaru EyeSight® Driver Assist Technology shares many similar features with Honda for a comprehensive suite of safety tech:
When you’re in the driver’s seat, you’ll have various features to explore, including built-in infotainment. The Crosstrek and the HR-V allow a seamless connection with your smartphone through Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™, making it easy to stream music and check messages. A crystal-clear screen to change settings and explore apps makes driving easier.
The HR-V offers an available 9-inch color touchscreen for you to control different functions. While a good size, a larger screen makes checking information and controlling settings easier. The Crosstrek expands your infotainment options with its available 11.6-inch multimedia screen, making it easier to use while maintaining your focus on the road.
Superior engineering and exciting features make the Subaru Crosstrek a premier SUV for adventure-seeking drivers. Thanks to its rugged and fun design, it will make every drive in Tinton Falls, Middletown Township, or Long Branch, NJ, better.
