If you’re a fan of the Crosstrek’s size and practicality, but want a little more refinement in the interior, you should consider the Subaru Crosstrek Limited. The Limited extends the Sport’s features with a leather-trimmed cabin, heated steering wheel, power driver’s seat, and more driver-assistance features.
For commuters, couples, and small families looking for a nimble SUV that also brings a more luxurious feeling to everyday driving and road trips, the Limited is an attractive option at Ewing Subaru of Plano.
The Limited, for example, adds leather-trimmed seats, a 10-way power-adjustable driver’s seat, and a leather-wrapped heated steering wheel with orange stitching. Its 18-inch alloy wheels, finished in a dark gray machine, also add a touch of flair to the exterior.
There’s also technology to consider for this trim. The Subaru 11.6-inch Multimedia Plus system supports wireless Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™, and the Subaru Driver Focus Distraction Mitigation System can even detect possible signs of driver fatigue or distraction. Optional features include a Harman Kardon premium audio system and a power moonroof.
The Crosstrek Limited is equipped with a 2.5-liter SUBARU BOXER four-cylinder engine rated at 180 horsepower. Complementing the Lineartronic CVT and standard Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive system is the transmission’s ability to smooth out road imperfections and support traction during ever-changing driving conditions.
If the SUV has eight inches of ground clearance, it should be able to manage access roads that are inconsistent and non-standard and for gravel roads to drive on that don’t have the use of a standard all-terrain vehicle. Its dimensions are manageable around the Plano parking lot, while the all-wheel-drive adds a welcome sense of security during rainstorms. MPG estimates by the EPA are 26/33.
The Limited focuses on interior luxury, technology, and ease of use. The Wilderness leans more toward adventure with 9.3 inches of ground clearance, all-terrain tires, and an increased towing capacity of 3,500 pounds. If you’re more likely to spend your day driving to work, running errands around town, or on the interstate, the Limited offers a more comfortable match. Allow us to compare both models at Ewing Subaru of Plano.
What is included in the Subaru Crosstrek Limited?
The Limited comes with leather-trimmed upholstery, a heated, leather-wrapped steering wheel, a power-adjustable driver’s seat with 10-way controls, and 18-inch alloy wheels with a machine-finish design. The Limited introduces Subaru Driver Focus Distraction Mitigation System and other EyeSight driver assistance features. These upgrades elevate the cabin’s appearance and help keep the drivers more comfortable during long commutes or road trips.
Does the Crosstrek Limited have the power for highways?
With a 2.5-liter BOXER engine that generates 180 horsepower and 178 lb-ft of torque, you’ll get the performance you need for everyday city commutes, highway on-ramps, and passenger car duty. The Lineartronic CVT can manage the tasks of your commute, and Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive is equipped to give you traction when you need it. This isn’t a high-performance SUV, but it’s an optimal powertrain combo.
What are the safety and driver-assistance features of the Limited?
The Crosstrek Limited features the EyeSight Driver Assist Technology, Blind-Spot Detection with Lane Change Assist, Rear Cross-Traffic Alert, Emergency Lane Keep Assist, and Automatic Emergency Steering. Driver Focus is included as well as a means to help monitor for driver fatigue. These technologies can provide a driver extra comfort in highway and traffic situations and with lane changes, but the driver is still responsible for keeping eyes on the road.
Is the Crosstrek Limited comfortable for longer road trips?
Yes. The leather-trimmed seats, 8-way power-adjustable driver’s seat, heated steering wheel, and multimedia system bring comfort during a long trip. There’s room for passengers in the rear and a versatile cargo space to load all of your bags and travel necessities. For drivers seeking an even more high-end entertainment experience, the available Harman Kardon audio system and power moonroof package are available.
What Should I buy OUTDOOR MAYHEM when the Crosstrek Limited or Wilderness?
The Limited is fine for a driver primarily on paved roads, but not for stopping at parks, camping areas, and other destinations that involve rougher access roads. If you do more frequent off-pavement driving, the Wilderness is equipped with more ground clearance, all-terrain tires, specific exterior protection, and increased towing capacity. If you prefer more amenities and technology over more challenging trail capability, then the Limited would be the better choice.
