Move over, XV! 2023 Subaru Crosstrek pricing and specs confirmed for Australia

Pricing and specification for the Subaru Crosstrek SUV have been confirmed, with pre-orders now open for the all-new XV replacement.

Due to hit local showrooms in April this year, prices for the compact crossover wagon range from $34,990 to $45,090 plus on-road costs across a five-model line-up.

All are all-wheel drive, powered by a 2.0-litre naturally aspirated four-cylinder engine in Subaru’s signature horizontally opposed layout, L and S grades adding mild-hybrid support to the powertrain package. Transmission is a CVT auto (non-hybrid: eight-speed / hybrid: seven-speed). 

Also featuring is Subaru’s comprehensive ‘EyeSight’ active safety tech, now with the addition of a ‘Wide Angle Monocular Camera’ supporting the existing stereo camera set-up to add speed-sign recognition, a lane-centring function and an overall wider field-of-view to the system’s capability.

In terms of specification, LED headlights and tail-lights are standard across the range, as is a palette of 10 colours including four new shades - Sun Blaze Pearl, Oasis Blue, Sapphire Blue Pearl and Offshore Blue Metallic.

Multimedia has been upgraded with an 11.6-inch, portrait-oriented touchscreen as well as a 360-degree 3D camera view. Type-A and Type-C USB ports are on-board.
