In Japan, the Subaru Crosstek’s 2.0-liter engine is supplemented with an electrical motor. Referred to as the e-Boxer, we do not know what the outputs of this hybrid powertrain are simply but, but it surely does have a Lineartronic constantly variable transmission. Ought to it retain the outputs of the present Crosstrek – which makes use of the identical configuration in Japan – it should have 143 horsepower and 139 lb-ft of torque, near the identical outputs as the present Crosstrek plug-in hybrid bought right here. It isn’t a lot in any respect, however the Crosstrek has all the time been fairly underpowered.
Within the USA, we could very effectively see the present four-cylinder engines carry over to the 2024 mannequin. That features a lazy 2.0-liter with 152 hp/145 lb-ft and a greater 2.5-liter with 182 hp/176 lb-ft. Within the present US-spec Crosstrek, a six-speed guide or CVT will be mated with the smaller engine, however the 2.5-liter solely has entry to the CVT. We would not be stunned if the guide is discontinued altogether for the 2024 Crosstrek.
A 0-60 mph dash time of about 9 seconds for the present 2.0-liter is noticeably sluggish, whereas the two.5-liter shaves over a second off that point.
As talked about, Subaru’s symmetrical AWD system will likely be normal fare.
