Used 2018 Subaru Crosstrek for Sale near Philadelphia, PA

Most crossovers are more style than substance. The 2018 Subaru Crosstrek flips the script and backs up its outdoorsy image with versatility and capability.

Plenty of crossovers and SUVs look capable, but few are actually 100% up to the task. Sure, some have plenty of cargo space or neat storage features, but few are as truly “outdoorsy” as their image suggests. Subaru is one of the brands with such an image, but its vehicles actually follow through on that image. The shining example of this is the 2018 Crosstrek, a high-riding wagon that's durable and versatile.

Subaru emphasizes practicality above almost anything else, with safety and efficiency following closely. This is embodied to various degrees in Subaru's lineup, featuring the capable Forester and upscale Outback. But the Crosstrek, which is based on the Impreza 5-door, boasts rugged additional body cladding and an impressive 8.7 inches of ground clearance.

The Crosstrek first entered the North American market in 2012 as a 2013 model and was, frankly, an instant hit. Buyers loved the concept of a “beefed-up” Impreza wagon, even if that beef was only more ground clearance and a more rugged appearance. The 2018 Crosstrek is the first full redesign for this popular model, and the emphasis is on evolving the concept.
