2024 Subaru Crosstrek Wilderness - Morning Commute in a Soft Roader 

FYI for the Canadian viewers, every Crosstrek in Canada comes with heated seats, and the heated steering wheel is standard on all Crosstreks except for the entry-level "Convenience" model. This includes the new Wilderness version.

we picked up a silver winderness, and love it. they really did a good job with the crosstrek.

Very detailed video, I have been paying attention to this car for a long time. Thank you for your video, which is very helpful to me.

I got the 24 crosstrek sport. It’s my first Subaru. I’m really enjoying it a lot. I don’t drive a lot which is why I hope it will last me long time and be reliable.

I definitely like the portrait center video screen.

The seat material is VERY robust. I have 22K miles on my Outback Onyx XT. Hiking, fishing, camping, 9 hour road trips, snow, sunscreen and sand, etc and they still look brand new!

I truly can't wait to get one of these!

Seriously love that color

I could live with the 2.5 engine -but to get me to trade up from my current Crosstrek, Subaru would have to offer an automatic or manual transmission. Also, I would do the “gold accent” delete mod -the “wilderness badges” are enough!

Good review, dig the updates to the Crosstrek! I have a '22 Crosstrek Sport that I use as my daily driver in CO and it's been fantastic and handles whatever I need. Easy to live with like you say. I average 29-30MPG in a combination of highway and city miles. I've just been using the stock Yokohama all season geolanders and they've performed really well in snow and ice for me, so I'll probably look at getting the A/T version that's on these or something equivalent. Love these Wilderness models, such fun cars.

Subaru styling started to grow on me

hahah, so much fun

Nice looking car.❤❤❤

Really good video good camera viewing. U.K. Crosstrek is only the 2.0i and it’s says the power has dropped to 136BHP. So have never had the availability of the wilderness, sport or the limited. I would buy one if they were available with the 2.5 engine.

Wilderness trim is the best argument to buy a Crosstrek ever. It’s worth the price. Buy one now while it’s relatively unknown. I assume demand will jump and prices will increase. That said, if you like a more basic car the standard trims are still excellent and capable.

Finally, Someone that drives a crosstrek in the same manor I do 😂

I have '24 Crosstrek Sport and I get 27-28 mpg with around town and freeway combined.

I wish they'd put the WRX engine in the Crosstrek. That engine plus a 6-speed; I'd buy one in a heartbeat!

I'm 3 months late, and I've watched this video several times, but I finally caught the Top Gear chair joke LOL

99% sure the blank switch on the back of the console is for invoking a camera mode (Front/Overhead) in other markets. Switch off the auditory warning will retain the lane keep assist with no buzzing.

The rattling noise from the left front speaker was distracting through the off road parts. My 24 crosstrek sport also has this issue and the dealer told me there was nothing they could do to fix it :(

How do these hold up over time…reliability ok?

I usually circle around my car and describe it in vivid detail for 5 minutes before I drive to work too.

1:20 it looks like there is a nail in that front tire 😳

whats your tire PSI?

FYI, heated steering wheel function is located in the infotainment screen

“Easy to get in and out of - you know”

Put the 2.4T in there and it would be awesome. Then again I have an outback wilderness so can't complain. This is my first CVT and I don't really get all the complaints, I have no issue with it and for a large lifted wagon it's scoots way better then I thought it would.

Is the xmode on the center console? Or on the screen somewhere?

I would love to have a Crosstrek but $35k is out of my ballpark i'll stick to my 2002 Legacy wagon with 210K lol

I’m just not sure about the tablet it has. I feel like it’s gonna cause unnecessary issues down the road.

me thinking, "not as hot as my e90 bmw" when he said the heated seats were hot, him saying it a second later

When is Subaru going to get the Toyota hybrid drive train? I like Subaru, but I won’t buy none hybrid or BEV.

I keep wondering about all the reviews of the Crosstrek, considering they all have nearly identical number plates...

Driving like a stolen vehicle isn’t going to get great mileage ,also making the tires squeal on The on-ramps wow!

Subaru engines are just fine. Especially fine in fact.

For the price, No heated or Ventilated Steering and Seat is :(

The gold trim should go.

I LOVE these little buggers.... BUT I'm hesitant because I don't like CVT (Certified Verifably TRASH)... and they are UNDER POWERED.....and to me sound, look and feel CHEAP!!! I know they are well made and last a long time- most of them- but be my luck I'd get the one that would fly apart..

Highway seems very noisy

You’re driving that vehicle too hard

that seat material looks so uncomfortable, like sitting on a doctors table all day

the whole i hate cvt thing needs to be put away. I've had 2 modern subis with cvt and notice no real difference between them and a standard auto. I think it's just one of those things people like to say to sound like they are cooler and more knowledgeable about cars than they actually are.

Wish it was just a little bigger. It's way to small for a guy over 5'11 and 200 lbs. And no I don't want an Outback

I really do not like Subaru interior...They should update their interior Why calling this box a "wilderness" and you put a huge lagging tablet AND no power tho

Just too much plastic side cladding for me. In a few years, that black plastic will oxidize and turn a nasty whitish-gray.

I think I would take the Wilderness but wrap some of the gaudiness and black cladding.

Subaru is just behind with their interiors. Buttons and knobs all look dated and cheap

What you're driving on - the dirt part- is what we call NORMAL ROADS around here-- and we all drive NORMAL old style rear wheel drive cars-- this isn't an "offroad" test..

Love the vehicle but not that CVT 🚫 I don’t care who makes it 😒 in the end they’re all trash 🗑️ and expensive to repair or replace

Cvt=Junk......what ever happened to a real transmission in cars....

Look at the heated seat buttons. They borrowed them from a Subaru back in the 90's! A few massive problems with Subaru. CVT transmissions, they are horrid no matter what anyone tells you. Zero responsiveness or passing power. While they have improved their interiors, as soon s you get to the shifter area it goes all 1990's again, looks cheap, feels cheap. The engines are far too underpowered. MPG on all Subaru's are disgustingly awful, though you could say the same of all cars in the USA, they are made to give crap MPG. Talking of 27mpg in a car this small with that small of an engine is a joke. It should be in the high 30's lows 40's. Prices!!! Yes everything is expensive but Subaru's are not cheap for what you get. I think Subarus appeal to a lot of people because most people have no interest in driving or an interest in cars. Therefore Subarus work. They are bland, boring, slow, not at all luxury or that comfortable to drive, with awful CVT, weak engines with no power. That says a lot about the people that buy them.

Love Subaru's new designs. Love the new WRX, Love this Crosstrek design, Love the Outback and legacy, Only the refreshed Ascent looks like crap
