About the Subaru Crosstrek GU
The third-generation Subaru Crosstrek, designated GU, replaces the XV nameplate globally and introduces a more rigid chassis with improved refinement. The e-Boxer powertrain pairs Subaru's signature longitudinal flat-four engine with a small electric motor integrated into the CVT, providing modest assistance and low-speed EV crawling. It remains a niche choice in the compact SUV segment, prioritising genuine off-road capability with 220mm of ground clearance and the X-Mode terrain system. While it lacks the straight-line speed of rivals, its permanent Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive ensures superior traction in adverse conditions.
