The 2014 Subaru Crosstrek is a compact crossover SUV, part of the first Crosstrek generation introduced in 2013. It comes standard with a 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine that generates 148 horsepower, paired with either a 5-speed manual transmission or a less-common CVT automatic. An all-wheel-drive drivetrain is standard, consistent with Subaru's reputation for rugged versatility. Two available trims are the 2.0i Premium and 2.0i Limited, all boasting 8.7 inches of ground clearance. Subaru's focus on safety is showcased with features like stability control, antilock disc brakes, front-seat side airbags and side curtain-type airbags that deploy for both rows. In the infotainment department, expect a 4.3-inch display, though it misses out on Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. 2014 was also the year when Subaru introduced the Crosstrek Hybrid variant.
