- Опубликовано: 9 сен 2024
- As Subaru's second best-selling model in 2023, the #SubaruCrosstrek was given a full redesign for 2024 and it includes the first-ever #CrosstrekWilderness for those who want to take their #Crosstrek a little further off the beaten path. While #Subaru still offers a plethora of different trims to choose from, the #Wilderness gets extra capability and a unique design inside and out.

Subaru, please make a Crosstrek WRX. You have all the parts needed, just put it all together
But that costs money and this isn't meant to autocross so so would be low sales. Save the money to bring out the BEV version.
@@davidmccarthy6061 what exactly would it cost? It is a trip to the parts bin.
@@davidmccarthy6061 What would the cost be? Just take a Sport and Wilderness Crosstrek, yank out the 2.5L engine and put in the 2.4L turbo engine straight from the WRX. Maybe flare out the fenders a little and add a hood scoop. Add a manual transmission as an option that's the same one found on the WRX. You have a Crosstrek WRX.
There’s a reason why so many people drive a Crosstrek in my neighborhood ~~ it’s such a nice overall subcompact SUV that not only offers the practicality, but also the off road capability and that amazing Symmetrical AWD that Subaru is known for. Whenever I think of this class, I always think of the Subaru Crosstrek.
No it's bc its cheap
@@shanewilfon6860What's wrong with being cheap? You prefer paying more for less?
Wannabe elitist.
Subaru needs to put a detuned version WRX engine in that thing. It would probably sell like hot cakes!
A full on Crosstrek WRX would be even better
Well, the '24 Crosstrek Limited & Wilderness are reported to be using the WRX steering components. If so, that's a start!
@@Unchainedmaple888 it should be called the Crosstrek Wilderness XT.
You may not like it, but this is what more functionality and utility than a Cybertruck looks like.
This pos couldn't carry cybertruck's jock strap😂😂😂
I would take this over any Tesla if both of them are for free. (if not for instant resale)
A refrigerator has more functionality and utility than a Cybertruck.
But don't shoot at your fridge!
Only if you pay several thousand dollars more for the more expensive Crosstrek trims with the 2.5 liter engine. Most buyers purchase the cheaper Crosstrek trims with the 2 liter engine that’s dreadfully slow. A 2024 Corolla LE feels significantly faster than a 2024 Crosstrek 2.0. That 2 liter engine is too underpowered for a 3400-3500 pound car
Wilderness Forester and Crosstrek need some kind of turbo option. The low end torque alone makes it worth it even without a large HP boost. Even the 1.8t would be good.
As long as it's optional. The mpg hit on the OBW is kinda brutal.
This has more ground clearance than the upcoming Toyota Land Cruiser/ Lexus GX lol
Ground clearance isnt everything.
I recently bought the new Crosstrek Wilderness and I love it! Great video 👍.
Great review very informative and well-articulated. Did smile though that you tried the 0-60 not once but three times whilst repeatedly stating that that is not what the Crosstrek Wilderness is really about ( and yet didnt actually demonstrate at all what it is really about!)
Again, Subaru needs to put the WRX GT guts in this. They would be printing money. I might let my Stinger go.
Sofyan🎉🎉🎉 congratulations I watch pretty much every video of yours and make sure to like because you and Alex are top-notch. I have been following you for years. I think you were at 200k subscribers and just a young kid. 1 million is quite an achievement and you deserve it. It’s obvious that you are passionate, professional, and knowledgeable.
The other day you did a retro review and I loved it. I wanted to suggest it to you because from time to time I find myself going back and watching your older reviews when you would do used cars. I know you are extremely busy, but I would love to see some older Mercedes, BMWs, Audi’s etc. I know that you have a plethora of older videos, but perhaps you can put up a Poll as to what retro review you could do once a month. Thank you for the hours of endless entertainment.👌🙏
I think Sofyan is the most balanced reviewer. Savage Geese is negative about everything, TFL can get a bit off-road geeky for me (which is their whole jam so no shade there), and many others are always going on about how normal cars suck because they’re not sports cars. Sofyan is always careful to measure a car based on its specific mission and audience and that’s why I trust his reviews the most. Please keep the great content and reviews coming!
@@sungkang8444 "Savage Geese is negative about everything" - braindead take. He just praised the shit out of the GX550.

A few days ago I bought my first ever Subaru. It's a 2024 Forester Wilderness (No BS add-on's, no extra fees and such and they had a $1,798.00 instant rebate) I guess the market is so tight even some Subaru dealerships are doing a bit of a discount. It might also be because they had quite a few Foresters other models, and very few Crosstreks and no Crosstrek Wilderness's.
It’s just Subaru since they never do mark ups. When Honda was still doing mark ups and I believe still is, they were discounting cars to this day. Jeep is also discounting. It’s mainly cars that get worse gas mileage since the economy is bad. Regardless, I wish I bought a WRX for 4K off instead of the civic si with 4K mark up and free oil changes for life + other accessorieseven if it’s going to pay itself off. At the time, gas was $6-7 for 91 and I drive a ton so the WRX being 19/26 highway didn’t make sense versus 28/37 highway
Well a new forester is coming out in a few months so they want to get rid of the old ones now
I literally just bought this same exact car 3 weeks ago and I am beyond ecstatic with everything about it.
If this had the wrx engine it be next level for real
Redline Reviews’ videos make me smile 😊
Dog food makes me smile
Bro you had me rolling when you said about the horn being puny and pathetic than the head rest feels like you are hitting a wall. I laughed so hard 😆😆😆😆😆😆😆😆
Yeah, it's time for the Comedy Store. 😏
That was not funny 😒
Ok.😑
@@ErvuJuklpuny and pathetic like your post
Love your reviews. I consider these subarus as station wagons not suvs. I know subaru is trying to avoid the station wagon stigma in the usa
Digital everything isn’t a good thing. Something’s should stay analog, like the odometer, climate controls, heated seats, and emergency parking. Not everything should be hidden in a screen like a Tesla
A seven speed auto will do wonders should be offered on the wilderness
Love the 11.6 infotainment because :
Sleek built in look, not an add on look like most competitors
Response to my iPhone is fast on startup.
Navigating with Google or Apple Maps is very user friendly and responsive.
Love all the information screens I can scroll thru even hill slopes.
Even the wireless charger is displayed when charging.
Just want that front 360 camera !
I like the fog lights. Looks like a football
I had an 18 Crosstrek and put amber LED in which is better for bad weather.
Got mine last week. It’s incredible, like a cybertruck but cheaper and betterer.
How is it like a cybertruck?
Coz it be off road and stuff.
Not only does this thing have a soft ride despite the 9.3 inch ground clearance... but it's still soft despite an incredible 1550lb payload rating and 3,500lb towing capacity. Other companies need to learn from that. A lot of cars are way too stiff for literally no reason (they aren't sporty or they have lower weight ratings).
Across the model range they all have nice handling and hugs the road really well :)
This will be my next car.
I just wish that the hvac were actual buttons.
I'm like just those three things the heated steering wheel 360 camera with front facing off-road camera and power liftgate and is absolutely perfect vehicle
I got mine in Geyser Blue. $37,000 out the door including sales tax. Mine has the sunroof option which includes the Harmon Kardon upgraded sound system.
I don't see it as an "experiment", it's an evolution of the Outback Sport that's slightly lifted.
Basically it’s a lifted Impreza actually ~~ and Subaru did it right by doing this
@@TonyKimtheamusementparkfan The Outback Sport was also an Impreza with an added half inch of ground clearance, the Crosstrek adds another 2 inches to that
That's true, forgot about that. Most of Subaru's vehicles are now based off of the Impreza platform. @@NeoGee
subaru still uses old school 2010s samsung bubbly interface on the screen lol
I would buy one of these in a heartbeat if it had a real transmission.
Such a man, you are!
The CVT is only OK. I had one, but went to a used Lexus because of the V6 and regular automatic.
I like these wheels, will be looking for a set for my OBW
Idky but i really appreciate vehicles that dont hav power liftgates. Its why i got a 4runner
Please explain
@Diego-oy6en it's faster and easier in my opinion but for some it is good just not for me
So if Subaru knows what's good for them this is their number one I mean it might sell a little bit less than that of the Outback but if they just gave this vehicle a tad bit more attention than just a slight more upscale maybe even bigger tires for the Wilderness version they would be killing it
Subaru needs to develop a more fuel efficient engine maybe with hybrid turbo technology or mild hybrid tech to boost the powertrain
I like these...but have nearly zero reasons to drive off road. I like the looks of this, but would rather have good road tires on it for less noise. Will I get one? {shrug} If they did a Toyota based hybrid??? Absolutely I would!
you need a good 5,000 miles to get better fuel economy
the gas pedal is more sensitive up to 1,000 miles. when it settles in the vehicle won't jump forward when you lightly touch the pedal
Not with my '22 OB Limited XT. Just fine from the get-go.
Little tank of a car! Just needs a little more power.
240-250hp would be nice
I like a value version.. I think reviewers push cost higher and higher by demanding all the doodads. Simple and reliable coupled with affordability.
You might want to double check the spare. I'm pretty sure it's a full sized tire.
IMHO, Sapphire Blue Pearl looks better than Geyser Blue.
It's a nice vehicle. When are auto manufacturers going to realize the best place for the start/stop button is on the center console.
Need to remove the bottom completely. Worst thing manufacturers have done.
@@jmen8888agreed, i prefer older vehicles because of this.
Bro I don't want that automatic liftgate. Have you seen the videos?
I had a 2015 Crosstrak and love Some things about it, but really Hated the very weak and slow powertrain! And Subaru is continuing to push this Outdated, lackluster, slow shifting powertrain. They Really missed the mark here! I have a 9 year old Hybrid with 365 HP and better MPG and way more options. It can be done, they have the technology to design a 225HP powertrain that gets 50MPG. So WTF is wrong here?
You're clearly talking about the 2.0L, which this doesn't have. And WTF are you talking about, look at the cars in its class. I agree there should be more hybrids in this segment, but the only ones that have them are the Corolla Cross and the Kona. You expect 365hp and "way more options" in this class? Dafuq?
I didn’t hear any shift points when you did the 0 to 60. I thought they had simulated gears?
If you brake torque these Subaru CVTs before takeoff, they won't "fake shift". Take off without brake torquing, and you'll get the fake shifts.
@@eskieman3948yeah same with Nissan’s CVTs they do the same thing
Good point. All I could hear was a consistent drone.
There are NO full size spares tires available in any of Subaru's competitors models - NONE - except Jeep Gladiator, which is not an SUV, and is considerably larger. The Rav4 can hold a full size with the cover 1/2 an inch above where it is supposed to fit, but you will have to buy your own.
And? This is a $35k car segment. You're gonna not buy something because you need to buy your own spare?
I absolutely love the styling
In canada they will charge for regular crosstek, 37 to 50grand, are they going to charge 55g for this?
My buddy just bought a 23' Outlander wilderness, paid 52k
Great review! What part of PA are you from?
That blue looks sharp 😎
Just not a fan of the wheels though
I mean Toyota and Honda have similar wheels and I never see anyone dunk on those, sounds like some Subaru hate to me....
@@truckercowboyed2638 I think the Honda ones look as bad. I think the 4 runners look a bit better
Naveen, this is a badass ride!
@@ErvuJukl I like everything else about this model but the wheels. I’d probably do a wheel swap and get some limited trim wheels on this
@@naveenthemachine very good Naveen, finally a decent comment from you. Well done 👍
Sofyan, you’re reviewing one of the most expensive trims with the more powerful engine however most buyers will choose one of the cheaper trims with the far slower 2 liter engine.
It takes over 10 seconds to do zero to 60 in a Crosstrek with the 2 liter engine due to the heavier curb weight of the Crosstrek. In comparison, a base 2024 Corolla LE gasoline sedan can do zero to 60 in 8 seconds and feels much faster since it has more horsepower and weighs 500 pounds less than the Crosstrek
Subaru needs to eliminate the 2 liter engine. It has no business powering a 3400-3500 pound vehicle.
I love it. Subaru is killing it!!
That would be a sick WRX wagon.
Subaru Crosstreck vs Toyota Corolla Cross hybrid what is the best?
Like the vehicle with luxury package, however, not sold on CVT.
What are you talking about?
@@eskieman3948 Who are you and why do you even care?
Sophie I want to thank you so much I love this video first of all I love all your videos anyway even though you nitpick about certain things but your videos are great what's Subaru should be offering a power liftgate at this price point for this vehicle it is their number one selling vehicle that is absolutely unacceptable and ridiculous
try 50,000$ in Canada. But i love it being 72 years of age I have trouble with all the technology in the vehicle but if you can overlook that feature you can drive it with full confidence
le
strong contender for Zombie Apocalypse vehicle! although i'd prolly go for the top dog in their line
I thought the zombie apocalypse vehicle was the 4runner
I thought the zombie apocalypse vehicle is the 2024 Mitsubishi Mirage?
The drony CVT transmission is a dealbreaker for me.
You weren't going to buy one anyway, so why the babble?
No worries plenty of people buy Subarus as they are fun to drive! Especially in a snowstorm!
@@Brian_Eugene_LeeTo be fair, Honda's CVT works very well and exhibits far less of that drone noise than Nissan's or Subaru's. Toyota's CVT is acceptable but still not as good as Honda's. I'm not sure who sources the CVTs for each manufacturer.
@@Brian_Eugene_LeeListen to the 0-60 in this video. Plenty of competitors don't still have that drone. "Watch what you say?" How bout you use your damned ears.
@dextersmith8434 Honda makes their own. 176k on my Civic CVT. No issues.
As with prior crosstrek reviews states 0 to 60 is not why people buy this then proceeds to do two more zero to 60 tests ???
Too slow. Subaru needs to add 2 electric motors to existing engine as PHEV.
It's not meant to be a sports car
They need to offer a more powerful engine. Sooooo obvious 💯
@@kdunnigan2152 we're all obviously not as smart you dunnigan
Water proof, water resistant?
PLEASE FOR THE LOVE OF GOD MAKE A PHEV CROSSTREK
WHY DOES IT NOT EXIST YET?
I cannot praise this car enough. I just love it.
Why can't there be two stores compartments on the back of the seats
Needs to go back to regular automatic. CVT does have a 100,000 warranty.
Where you find that info, window stickers say 5year/60k miles powertrain
@familydad3241 When you buy a new Subaru, they send you mail months later giving you a 10 year, or 100,000 mile warranty whichever comes first on the CVT.
@@jmen8888 interesting, first I've heard of this👍
@@familydad3241extended warranty. I got the 100k one on my 2021
@@jmen8888 all I can find is they mail you an offer for extended 10 year warranty to buy. Your saying they love you a complementary free 10 year warranty?
As usual NO heated steering wheel on the WILDERNESS model. Way to go Subaru
For a 32k compact off roader he sure wishes theres alot of stuff that came with it 😂
Subaru brings us a ascent wilderness to compete with the honda pilot trailsport and the nissan pathfinder Rock Creek
Driver assistance is a fast road heading towards when people don’t know how to control a car. I don’t need it to keep me in a middle of a lane or tell me what the speed limit is as I already know if you’re driving correctly. Mine went mad at a motorway intersection trying to pull me this way and that at 70mph so I keep it off , sorry not happy with this tech as people will just rely on it and lose the skills needed to drive correctly and safety err dory your honour the blind spot wasn’t bleeping so I just reversed out and didn’t notice the motorcycle not my fault sue the car manufacturer what a load of crap anyway love your vids
For an "adventure" vehicle having an undersized spare is just diabolically stupid. Also you get a low window washer liquid sensor and warning, but no battery health indicator...
Headrests? I know what - dont bang your head against them. Oh, and the whining about the power lift gate? Really????
They could have put a little more effort to make it looks not cheap.
everything you keep saying subaru should add would significantly increase the price.
buy a different vehicle lol
Can hardly pass a vehicle on the highway. So slow its dangerous.
You've never been in one to make that statement, but thanks for playing Internet Expert.
This car is perfect for daily driving.
I put mine in Sport mode and have been able to pass just fine and I’m a fast driver
Even a base 2024Corolla LE is faster than most versions of the 2024 Crosstrek
Where I live we have to do a lot of single lane passing. In my moms crosstrek it takes forever to pass someone. The transmission is not for a car enthusiast. One long ever lasting gear. Handles like its riding on a jello pudding snack. I fffffing hate this car.
I’m pretty sure it’s considered at hatchback or compact sedan. Definitely not an SUV lol.
Rubber band transmission no thanks 👍
No turbo and no manual ...ugh cvt
19 mpg? that sucks
It needs more plastic cladding.
its always a good idea to have a front camera or a 360 camera. its just good all around for anyone. but if ur especially going off road or into the wilderness. it would be nice not to have to get out and check if ur gonna hit something due to clearance
Nah that cvt overheat😂😂😂
Apparently you are not acquainted with Subaru CVTs as they do not overheat! Watch Driving Sports TV’s RUclips channel for proof. Subarus are very reliable and capable vehicles!
Nice car with a huge turnoff, the CVT transmission.
Too much body cladding on this is model. I'll take the 'regular' Crosstrek if I were shopping for this model.
Not if you're exploring 1000 dirt miles in AZ and scraping past branches scraping off the clear coat.
5/7 not enough plastic
jesus that 7.8 seconds is so brutally horrible sounding lol .... I wouldnt mind a cvt in a 500 Horsepower car lol...cause the 0-60 will be a lot faster and the horrible cvt sound would last only a few seconds.
Soon Subaru will cover there entire cars in cladding lol. Also you do realize what happens to black plastic cladding from sitting in the sun, yeah looks absolutely horrible
I would cross shop this with the Eclipse Cross. Same size, nice features HUD, Panoramic roof, power tailgate, awd, etc. Plus after dealer discounts (Texas dealers go up to $4500 off) so you can get a good deal. Didn’t feel as slow when I went with my cousin to test drive one.
zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz
Great point
182hp, cvt🤢🤢, d.i from subaru know to suffer from carbon buildup. Yeah no thank you
Who cares? Go play.
@@eskieman3948 you cared enough to respond so lets play
Lol at this price just get a Forester
You can easily do a horn swap. 😊
It will void all of your warranty
I doubt it. It has nothing to do with the function of the vehicle.
@@CCANGEL333 Electrical mods can affect the warranty. You need to check on that before doing anything boneheaded and foolish.
Stupid is as stupid does, I always say. 😵💫
The use of replacement parts which are not authorized by Subaru does not invalidate the warranty on other components unless the non-authorized parts cause damage to warranted parts.
Hey Subaru! Get off your a$$ and put a turbocharged option, a manual and at least SOME analog knob controls for the infotainment system.....oh, and ditch that gaudy, cheap looking gold trim. Looks like a gold front tooth on a drunk.
SUBARU KNOWS HOW TO MAKE BLAND AND UGLY CARS. 👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌
They must have made your family, scummer.
😁😁
well i would disagree I love the look of my new crosstrex
All that plastic 🤮
Finally a vehicle with more plastic cladding than the Aztek & arguably uglier
😂. Truth!
I've never driven a Wilderness model, but the regular Crosstrek models are god awful. Slow and unrefined. With so many other companies offering AWD I'd don't understand why anyone would buy this garbage.
Because you're clueless? You said the keyword: "regular" Crosstrek. And, as for the "so many other companies offering AWD", they can't compete withe the Subarus, especially THIS one. Think not? There are other reviewers here on RUclips that have done comparison tests, and the Subarus kick their butts.
The 2.0L version is slow, but so is a lot of its competition. Just what else in its class does it better?
Cause it's symmetrical AWD and a 4 cylinder. What do you expect?
Which version cause I have a 2021 with upgraded engine and it’s pretty quick. In sport mode anyways
@@surferboi2005 which upgraded engine do you have?
Would love to have a this But still in love with my 18 crosstrek limited souped up.
If you're going to build an Off Road Style SUV, there's no way a Jeep Compass should be better..... The Ford Bronco is world's better. For the price of this thing, Subaru left out some big comfort features. The infotainment is slow and laggy. Hard ass seat. Runaway CVT. Now, power off the line. Unless you're a skinny snowflake college boy with no dick hairs, there's no reason to buy this thing at all.... It does look good, I'll give it that
If you are referring to the full size Bronco you are comparing apples to oranges. If you mean Bronco Sport oh please. That Bronco nice as it is will be in a junkyard way before the Subaru. Ford makes junk nowadays 😂
@@FordEnthusiast413Nowadays?? Ford hasn't been able to build a long-term car pretty much ever.
@@FordEnthusiast413 I didn't say Ford was great.... I said it was better than this. Because IT IS. It has more than this does, and it's cheaper. Your opinion is just like an ass hole...... But the facts are the facts.
