The value-packed 2019 Subaru Crosstrek delivers all the benefits of a true crossover—and lots of pleasant surprises to boot. Despite being classified as a compact vehicle, the Crosstrek boasts generous ground clearance, ample cargo space, and excellent versatility. This popular model also has the advantages of a sporty hatch, including crisp response, superior handling and stellar fuel efficiency. More importantly, Crosstrek boasts some of the most advanced and effective safety systems available:
ADVANCED THINKING, ACTIVE SAFETY
Next-generation technologies used in the EyeSight® driver-assist technology, the Subaru Rear/Side Vehicle Detection system and ABS represent the critical first line of defence — and the best way to avoid a potential accident in the first place.
EYESIGHT® DRIVER-ASSIST TECHNOLOGY
This available, innovative system utilizes two cameras to monitor activity on the road ahead, help identify potential danger and provide assistance to the driver when needed most. EyeSight encompasses several different advanced active safety systems: Adaptive Cruise Control, Pre-Collision Braking, Pre-Collision Throttle Management, Vehicle Lane Departure and Sway Warning with Lane Keep Assist. With this technology, the Crosstrek has recorded class-leading safety standards.
HIGH BEAM ASSIST
This feature provides better visibility by automatically switching from high beams to low beams when traffic is approaching or when you are catching up to traffic in the road ahead. High Beam Assist then switches back to high beams when traffic has cleared to ensure optimum illumination at all times. This feature is available on trim levels equipped with EyeSight®.
REVERSE AUTOMATIC BRAKING
Also available on trim levels equipped with EyeSight®, this safety feature uses proximity sensors to warn the driver as the vehicle approaches an obstacle. Reverse Automatic Braking also has the ability to apply the brakes if it appears that a collision is imminent.
SUBARU REAR/SIDE VEHICLE DETECTION SYSTEM (SRVD)
The SRVD system, available on Sport and Limited models, represents a big step towards full-perimeter preventative safety and has three distinct functions: Blind Spot Detection, Lane Change Assist and Rear Cross Traffic Alert. Blind Spot Detection identifies vehicles behind the C-pillars and in other blind spots, while Lane Change Assist detects fast-approaching vehicles when changing lanes. Using a sensor in the back of the vehicle, Rear Cross Traffic Alert signals drivers of close vehicles while reversing, such as out of a parking space or driveway.
STEERING RESPONSIVE HEADLIGHTS
These available LED headlights provide an added measure of illumination when rounding corners, automatically angling in the direction of turns. The LED headlights also create better visibility by generating a brighter and whiter light. Steering Responsive Headlights are available on the Sport and Limited models.
VEHICLE DYNAMICS CONTROL (VDC)
The standard VDC system utilizes advanced sensors to monitor and analyze if the vehicle is following the driver’s intended course. When approaching the limits of stability, the system automatically adjusts the AWD torque distribution‡, engine output and brakes at each wheel to help keep the vehicle on-course. Standard on all Crosstrek trims, Active Torque Vectoring will apply braking force to the inside front wheel and distributes more torque to the outside wheel during cornering to help the car turn better. These systems give drivers of all abilities the feeling of added security and increased confidence under all possible scenarios.
