The 2014 Subaru XV Crosstrek is currently one of the best-selling compact vehicles on the Canadian market. It’s tough, strong, and durable enough to face the harshest conditions, perfect for Canadian winters. In its second year on the market, the Crosstrek succeeded in defining a new category of all-wheel-drive vehicles in the compact crossover market. With its superb detailing and features, the 2014 Subaru XV Crosstrek is sure to impress anyone looking for a durable ride.



The 2014 Subaru XV Crosstrek represents Subaru’s potent entry in the compact SUV market. Unlike a lot of its competition, the XV Crosstrek doesn’t just talk the talk, it walks the walk too. With 8.7 inches of ground clearance, the Crosstrek stands tall on its 17” rims and its functional body moulding isn’t just for looks, it helps protect the vehicle in case you happen to encounter any rough terrain during your adventures. But with Subaru’s unique body setup, the centre of gravity is kept low to the ground on the Crosstrek, keeping handling responsive and nimble.

Inside the 2014 Subaru XV Crosstrek, there’s loads of space for friends and family with easy entry and exit thanks to the oversized rear doors. In the front, the Crosstrek comes with a manual transmission or the automatic CVT transmission with 6-speed manual mode shifters. Controls are easily accessible and simple to use for the driver, with heating and air conditioning controls designed to be easy-to-use even with skiing gloves on. Steering wheel mounted audio and hands-free controls are also standard for safer, distraction-free driving. Pop the trunk and there’s loads of room for your gear or groceries. The cargo box is easy to clean and maintain, and also comes with a cargo mat to protect it from any dirt or spills.

The drive in the 2014 Subaru XV Crosstrek is not so different from the Subaru Impreza on which its based. This is great because it means you get SUV-like ground clearance with car-like handling and of course, the versatility of Subaru’s symmetrical all wheel drive. Subaru’s symmetrical all wheel drive is a unique and class leading technology, it constantly sends power to all four wheels, dynamically adjusting power delivery as conditions change. Unlike other SUVs such as the Mazda CX-5, the symmetrical all wheel drive won’t wait for you to slip until it kicks in, Subaru’s system is always ready. Ready to keep you in control in a pinch, rather than stuck in a ditch.

Happily, you won’t be paying for the versatility at the pump. The Subaru XV Crosstrek remains one of the most fuel efficient compact SUVs in its class, and keep in mind that not all SUVs have all wheel drive! The 2.0-litre 4-cylinder engine will give you 148 horsepower and 145 pound-feet of torque. And the mileage? 10.2 L/100km city driving and 7.8 L/100km on the highway. Not a bad price to pay for such great power. If you’re looking for a car to help you survive even the toughest conditions, the 2014 Subaru XV Crosstrek is a brilliant choice that will be sure to to never let you down.

Power and Performance:

The 2014 XV Crosstrek is powered by a 2.0-liter, horizontally opposed "boxer" 4-cylinder engine that churns out 148 horsepower and 145 lb-ft of torque. The XV Crosstrek sends power to all four wheels via a standard 5-speed manual or an available continuously variable automatic transmission (CVT). Premium models equipped with a manual gearbox feature an AWD system with a 50/50 front/rear power distribution, while automatic transmissions are coupled to an adaptive system that automatically proportions power to the wheels with the most grip. The XV Crosstrek Hybrid uses the same 2.0-liter engine and pairs it with an electric motor integrated into the CVT. The motor produces 13.4 horsepower from 1,500-6,000 rpm, for a total hybrid system output of 160 horsepower at 6,000 rpm. The starter and alternator functions are combined into one unit, and the engine is equipped with an Auto Stop/Start feature.

Because it's based largely on the Subaru Impreza platform, the 2014 XV Crosstrek delivers an exceptionally stable and secure ride. The soft suspension settings do a good job of soaking up road imperfections that feel like rude jolts in other compact SUVs. Yet, despite the tall ride height and softer springs, the XV Crosstrek doesn't bob or sway when tossed into tight turns. The Crosstrek uses an electric-assist power-steering system that lacks feedback but also requires little effort when parallel parking in the city or rock crawling in the wilds. The Crosstrek's weakest spot is its 148-horsepower engine that doesn't offer much in the way of passing power or rapid acceleration, especially when there are two, three or four passengers onboard. The continuously variable transmission (CVT) does its best to find the optimal power band, but it causes the engine to thrash loudly at full throttle.

Interiors and Special Features:

The interior is largely the same as the Impreza, though some trim differs and the seats have a more rugged upholstery material. In general, the dash is sporty but straightforward, a good mix of utilitarian and dashing. Simple, straight-across lines maximize interior volume, and Subaru's traditional analog instrument cluster and steering-wheel controls keep driver focused on the basics.

The base Crosstrek includes standard air conditioning, power accessories, cruise control, keyless entry, and a rear cargo tray that can be removed to hose it off, along with a roof rack that'll hold up to 150 pounds of cargo. The base audio system includes audio streaming and hands-free voice commands, courtesy of Bluetooth, along with iPod connectivity and a USB jack, but its small sizes limits the number of characters visible at any time, so finding the songs you want can be tricky.

Move up to the XV Crosstrek Limited model, and you get automatic climate control; leather upholstery, shift knob, and steering wheel; and a rear-seat armrest that folds down to provide cup holders. On top of that, the audio system gets HD radio and a 4.3-inch display screen, plus a rear-view camera for backing up.

An optional navigation system adds a 6.1-inch touchscreen display, plus satellite radio, real-time traffic data, voice control, and text messaging capability. Newly added for 2014 is Aha infotainment and smartphone integration as part of this option. We're still not big fans of this system, however, because its small display and unintuitive interface give the whole thing a distinctly aftermarket feel. Oddly, the SD slot on its face cannot be used for media; you have to revert to the USB jack for that.

Safety features:

The 2014 Subaru XV Crosstrek comes standard with stability and traction control, antilock disc brakes, front side airbags and side curtain airbags, a driver knee airbag and active front head restraints. A rear-view camera comes standard on all but the 2.0i Premium trim but is included with the optional navigation system.

The Insurance Institute for Highway Safety awarded the XV Crosstrek the highest possible rating of "Good" in its moderate-overlap frontal-offset, side-impact and roof strength tests. The Crosstrek's seat/head restraint design was also rated "Good" for whiplash protection in rear impacts.

In Edmund's brake testing, the XV Crosstrek stopped from 60 mph in 126 feet, which is a few feet longer than average.
