When it comes to Subaru, different consumer groups have different opinions, and in the eyes of most users, Subaru has labels such as ugly, cost-effective, and expensive maintenance. In the eyes of fans, Subaru, which advocates extreme handling, is quite in line with their appetites, whether it is a horizontally opposed engine or a symmetrical full-time four-wheel drive system. So what kind of user group is suitable for Subaru? Perhaps we can find the answer in the Subaru Crosstrek Leopard.
The Subaru Crosstrek is the successor to the Subaru XV, and in terms of styling, the new car has not changed much, and after applying the brand's latest family design, the car maintains a more primitive rugged style, with a slender body shape and some off-road elements. What is surprising is that the car is set up with a wrap-around thick plastic part under the body, and the front face side and other parts that are easy to scratch are also included, which will inevitably be scratched when carrying out outdoor off-road, and it will not be too painful to repair.
From the side of the body, the silhouette of the Subaru Crosstrek is basically unchanged, with a specific length, width and height of 4495 1800 1600mm and a wheelbase of 2670mm. In addition, the top model of the car is matched with 18-inch wheels at the bottom, and the tire specification is 225 55 R18.
Subaru Crosstrek Asahi Leopard in the interior design part is still the traditional route, the main practical simplicity, configuration and materials with our domestic models are naturally incomparable, if you pursue a sense of luxury, the car obviously can not meet you. Among them, the car is equipped with a pointer-type instrument on the center console, and retains more physical buttons, which can be said to be contrary to the current trend, but the vertical 11The 6-inch central control screen does have a lot of progress compared with the old model.
In addition, the car's car machine system has been upgraded, X-mode and air conditioning system are integrated into the screen, and it also has Apple CarPlay, CarLife and other mobile phone interconnection functions, but unfortunately the car machine is not equipped with navigation software.
Next is the power part that Subaru is best at, as a brand that puts driving control first, Subaru Crosstrek Xu Leopard does not treat all models equally, and the entry-level model also matches 2The 5-liter boxer engine and full-time all-wheel drive system, in which the engine has a higher displacement than the Subaru XV, has a maximum output of 124 kW and a peak torque of 252 Nm. In terms of drivetrain, the model is mated to an analog 8-speed CVT continuously variable transmission, which has certain advantages over conventional CVTs in terms of durability and acceleration experience due to the use of chain drive.
Thanks to the low center of gravity of the boxer engine and the matching all-wheel drive system, the handling of the Subaru Crosstrek is indeed good enough. In actual driving, the front end is more agile, the steering wheel is precisely pointed, and the cornering limit is high, which can give you plenty of fun when you need to drive at the extreme of the extreme.
Overall, the Subaru Crosstrek is a "reverse version" of a niche SUV, which does not meet the mainstream needs of family users in terms of styling design and functional configuration, but if you are looking for driving pleasure or "play" diversity, then the car is undoubtedly quite in line with your needs. In my opinion, the Subaru Crosstrek is more suitable for consumers who love outdoor driving and are not short of money, which is also destined to be a niche model.
