It offers the ideal blend of a compact footprint for easy parking and the rugged capability required for Missouris unpredictable four-season weather. This is more than just a vehicle for commuting; it is a tool for the active individual who values reliability and a touch of adventure in their daily drive.

Performance and Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive Capability

The heart of this Crosstrek is a 2L H-4 gasoline direct injection DOHC engine, featuring variable valve control to balance efficiency with steady power. Delivering 152HP, this H4 configuration is front-longitudinally mounted, which contributes to the vehicle's legendary balance and low center of gravity. When you are commuting from Sappington, MO, you will appreciate the smooth delivery of the 8-speed Lineartronic CVT. This automatic transmission includes lock-up and overdrive features to help achieve an impressive 28 city and 33 highway MPG, making those long stretches on the interstate much more economical.

Subarus Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive is a full-time system that provides constant power to all four wheels, ensuring maximum traction on rain-slicked suburban roads or light snow. The chassis is supported by a four-wheel independent suspension, utilizing struts in the front and a double-wishbone setup in the rear. This "Standard ride" suspension is paired with Stablex gas-pressurized shock absorbers, which soak up pavement imperfections with ease. Whether you are navigating rolling terrain or flat suburban avenues, the electric power-assist steering system provides a speed-sensitive feel that is light in parking lots and firm at highway speeds.

Connected Technology for the Modern Driver

In todays fast-paced world, staying connected is a necessity, not a luxury. This Crosstrek Premium features the Subaru STARLINK 6.5-inch Multimedia Plus System, which serves as your central hub for entertainment and information. With smart device integration through Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, you can mirror your favorite navigation apps or music playlists directly onto the primary touchscreen. For those who prefer a wireless experience, Bluetooth® hands-free connectivity and wireless audio streaming allow you to keep your phone tucked away while still taking calls or listening to podcasts.

The cabin is equipped with three total first-row displays, including a 2.4-inch gauge cluster display that provides vital trip information at a glance. Steering wheel-mounted audio controls ensure you never have to take your hands off the wheel to adjust the volume or change the station on the AM/FM/SiriusXM digital radio. For added convenience, the vehicle includes two USB ports for charging and an auxiliary input jack for external devices. Staying informed about your environment is easy with the exterior temperature display and a digital clock integrated into the dash.

Interior Comfort and Suburban Convenience

The interior of this Crosstrek is as functional as it is stylish, featuring Gray cloth front seat upholstery accented by signature orange stitching. The driver is treated to a 6-Way Power Seat, allowing for the perfect ergonomic position, while both the driver and front passenger can enjoy the comfort of Heated Front Bucket Seats—a must-have for chilly Missouri mornings. The leather-wrapped steering wheel and gear shifter add a premium touch to the tactile surfaces of the cabin, complemented by metal-look interior accents and simulated carbon fiber door panel inserts.

Versatility is a core strength of this crossover. The 60-40 folding rear seats allow you to expand the cargo area for larger hauls, while the roll-up cargo cover and vinyl/rubber cargo mat keep your belongings secure and the interior clean. Automatic climate control with voice activation ensures the cabin stays at your preferred temperature, and rear under-seat ducts keep passengers in the back comfortable. For an open-air feel, the Power Moonroof provides a sliding and tilting glass opening with an express open/close feature. Small details like the auto-dimming rearview mirror with HomeLink and the illuminated locking glove box make daily life just a little bit easier.

Advanced Safety and EyeSight Driver Assistance

Safety is a cornerstone of the Subaru brand, and this 2023 Crosstrek Premium is equipped with a comprehensive suite of protective technologies. The EyeSight system acts as an extra set of eyes on the road, providing Advanced Adaptive Cruise Control with Lane Centering and Lane Keep Assist to help reduce fatigue during heavy traffic. The Pre-Collision Braking and Pre-Collision Throttle Management systems are designed to detect potential impacts and apply braking force if necessary, including pedestrian impact prevention.

In addition to forward-facing tech, this vehicle features Blind Spot Detection and Rear Cross-Traffic Alert, which are invaluable when backing out of a busy driveway or changing lanes on the highway. The exterior parking camera provides a clear view of what is behind you, while the 4-wheel disc brakes with ABS and Brake Assist ensure confident stopping power. Inside, the cabin is protected by a 7-airbag system, including a drivers knee airbag and curtain overhead airbags for both rows. For families, the manual rear child safety door locks and height-adjustable front seatbelts provide added peace of mind.

Exterior Design and Functional Styling

Dressed in Crystal White Pearl paint, this Crosstrek Premium strikes a sophisticated pose. The exterior is designed to be both attractive and durable, featuring black bodyside cladding and wheel well trim that protect the lower panels from road debris. The black grille with metal-look accents is flanked by halogen reflector headlights with auto on/off control and front fog lights for improved visibility in poor weather. A rear lip spoiler and body-colored bumpers give the vehicle a sporty, cohesive look.

Functional elements are integrated throughout the design, including roof rails that are ready for your choice of cargo carriers or bike racks. The 17-inch machined aluminum wheels with painted accents provide a modern aesthetic while maintaining a comfortable ride quality. Practical additions like the heated door mirrors and heated windshield wiper park ensure that ice and frost won't slow you down during the winter months. Even the rear bumper cover is a thoughtful touch, protecting the paint during loading and unloading of gear.
