The All-Wheel Drive Crosstrek sets a new standard for Kiwi drivers, providing a perfect balance between style and capability. Now available at Southern Automobiles.

We are excited to share the news that Terry Haywood, our Subaru Brand Manager at Southern Automobiles, recently embarked on a journey to introduce Subaru’s highly anticipated Crosstrek in the northern region. Terry had the opportunity to thoroughly test this stylish and compact SUV, immersing in the thrill of Subaru’s renowned All-Wheel Drive system.

The Subaru Crosstrek is now available for purchase and test drives at Southern Automobiles Invercargill. This reimagined and adventurous version of the Subaru XV is offered in three variants, including one petrol model and two hybrid models.

As previously revealed, the all-new Subaru Crosstrek petrol variant features a sporty yet refined direct injection 2.0-liter Boxer engine. It is paired with a Lineartronic transmission, which includes an 8-speed paddle shift manual mode. Additionally, the two hybrid variants showcase the Subaru e-Boxer engine and a Lineartronic transmission equipped with a 7-speed paddle shift manual mode.

Prepare to be captivated by the Crosstrek’s head-turning design. With its dramatic angles, rugged cladding, and roof rails, it perfectly complements its bold color options. This unique styling not only catches the eye but also highlights the Crosstrek’s exceptional capability to conquer any terrain.

The Crosstrek sets a new standard for drivers in New Zealand, offering a perfect blend of style and capability. Whether you’re navigating city streets or embarking on an off-road adventure, this compact SUV effortlessly handles it all.

The Crosstrek’s impressive all-terrain drivability is supported by its class-leading ground clearance of 220mm, enabling you to conquer rough roads and deep ruts as you explore the great outdoors. Additionally, all Crosstrek variants come equipped with X-Mode as a standard feature. By simply pressing the X-Mode button, you can confidently tackle any off-road challenge and enjoy enhanced traction and control on slippery surfaces like mud, snow, or gravel.

The redesigned Subaru Crosstrek offers intuitively designed ergonomics and features a new center infotainment unit with an impressive 11.6″ touchscreen, wireless Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™ connectivity, and a wireless charger.

Safety remains a top priority for Subaru, and the Crosstrek is equipped with a comprehensive suite of intelligent safety features.

To further enhance safety and convenience, the Crosstrek incorporates a Driver Monitoring System (DMS), reducing the likelihood of accidents. Additionally, it is equipped with nine airbags, ensuring optimal protection in the event of a collision.
