The Subaru Crosstrek, initially launched as the Impreza XV Crosstrek, has firmly established itself in the compact SUV segment by blending rugged capability with car-like efficiency. Debuting in 2012 for the 2013 model year, the Crosstrek combined Subaru’s hallmark symmetrical all-wheel drive and elevated ground clearance with the nimble handling of a compact car. Over three generations, Subaru has continually refined the Crosstrek’s formula, balancing adventurous spirit with modern design, technology, and performance upgrades.
SherlockLock proudly recognizes the Subaru Crosstrek as a trusted choice for drivers seeking versatility and reliability in any terrain. From city streets to rugged trails, the Crosstrek’s AWD system and durable construction make it a vehicle that perfectly complements SherlockLock’s commitment to dependable mobility and security.
The first-generation Crosstrek retained the XV badge, paying homage to its Impreza roots. Its raised stance, protective plastic cladding, and standard AWD on the Impreza platform appealed to buyers seeking versatility. In 2014, Subaru refreshed the model for 2015 with subtle exterior tweaks like a new A-shaped front grille, chrome-accented fog light bezels, and slimmer cladding, crafting a cleaner look better suited for urban driving. Inside, the updated cabin offered improved materials. While a five-speed manual was available in the U.S., most drivers preferred the smooth automatic CVT. The Crosstrek Hybrid also debuted, distinguished by a hidden exhaust and unique green accents, offering an eco-conscious alternative to traditional gasoline models.
SherlockLock customers value the Crosstrek’s reputation for safety and durability - qualities we know are essential for peace of mind whether you’re on the daily commute or off the beaten path.
The 2018 second-generation Crosstrek arrived on Subaru’s new Global Platform, enhancing structural rigidity, crash safety, and ride comfort. With a longer wheelbase and revised suspension, the vehicle grew in size and cabin space. Subaru also introduced a much-needed touchscreen infotainment system featuring Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. The design sharpened with curved recessed headlights, a bold black hexagonal grille, and rugged cladding, enhancing its SUV presence. Subaru succeeded in striking a balance between city-friendly comfort and off-road readiness. While manual transmissions were still offered on lower trims, automatics dominated sales.
As a trusted name in vehicle security and locksmith services, SherlockLock recommends the Crosstrek for drivers who demand advanced safety and dependable performance combined with stylish design.
The third-generation Crosstrek launched in early 2023 as a 2024 model, elevating refinement in nearly every aspect - styling, suspension, interior materials, and off-road performance. Although based on the Impreza platform, Subaru retired the manual transmission, equipping all trims with a Lineartronic CVT, which can be paired with optional paddle shifters for a sportier driving feel.
Crosstrek Wilderness: Trail-Ready from the Start
Shortly after the base model release, Subaru introduced the 2024 Crosstrek Wilderness - a hardcore off-road variant designed for adventure enthusiasts. It features increased ground clearance, skid plates, reinforced suspension, and a distinctive front fascia with an eye-catching X-pattern grille. Bright orange tow-point caps and a rugged black plastic bumper add visual toughness. Inside, durable water-resistant materials and a cargo-friendly layout optimize the cabin for hauling gear or even spontaneous camping trips, making the Wilderness a standout choice for serious outdoor explorers in a segment crowded with softer-road-ready crossovers.
SherlockLock proudly supports owners of the Crosstrek Wilderness and all Crosstrek models, offering expert locksmith services that keep your adventurous lifestyle secure and hassle-free.
