2016 Subaru Crosstrek facelift revealed for US market
Subaru has updated the Crosstrek for 2016 with revised styling, new safety features and a refreshed interior, ahead of its US launch in autumn.
Subaru has unveiled the 2016 Crosstrek for the US, introducing a facelift that brings new styling, additional safety technology and interior upgrades. The updated model is scheduled to reach American showrooms in autumn, with pricing from $21,595.
The most visible changes appear at the front, where Subaru has revised the grille and bumper, and fitted updated headlights. All versions receive new 17-inch alloy wheels. The changes bring the Crosstrek closer in line with the rest of Subaru’s crossover range.
Interior and infotainment upgrades
Inside, the 2016 Crosstrek gains Subaru’s STARLINK infotainment system on a 6.2-inch touchscreen as standard. The system supports AM/FM/HD radio, Bluetooth and iPod connectivity, a CD player and a rearview camera. Higher trims add LED accent lighting, a new steering wheel, orange contrast stitching, and gloss black or silver dash trim depending on the version.
Engine and pricing details
The facelifted Crosstrek will reach US dealerships in autumn 2015. Subaru expects the updates to help maintain its strong position in the compact crossover segment, where competition from the likes of the Mazda CX-3 and Honda HR-V has intensified over the past year.
