Signature Features Tailored for Regional Driving
From triple-digit summer heat in Santa Clarita and Canyon Country to rain-slicked mountain passes and rugged trailheads in Lake Hughes and Castaic, every feature is calibrated for local Southern California conditions.

Unlike reactive "on-demand" hybrid systems that only drive the rear wheels with small auxiliary electric motors after wheel spin occurs, Subaruās permanent Symmetrical AWD mechanically splits torque across both axles continuously. Paired with 8.7 inches of ground clearance and X-MODEĀ® with Hill Descent Control, you maintain planted stability over mud and gravel along San Francisquito Canyon or rain-slicked pavement on CA-126.
Extreme Heat Cabin Defense & Remote Pre-Conditioning
Designed to beat Santa Clarita Valley summer heat exceeding 105Ā°F, the Crosstrek Hybrid features high-solar-attenuating acoustic windshield glass and dual-zone climate control with solar-load sensors. With the SUBARU STARLINKĀ® mobile app, you can remotely start and pre-cool your cabin directly from your smartphone while parked at work in Valencia or Stevenson Ranch.
Next-Gen EyeSightĀ® Freeway Assistance
Daily morning congestion on the I-5 interchange is stress-free thanks to standard EyeSightĀ® Driver Assist Technology. Featuring an expanded wide-angle camera and stereoscopic sensors, the system provides Advanced Adaptive Cruise Control with Lane Centering, Automatic Emergency Steering, and Pre-Collision Braking.
Cargo Geometry & Roof Rail Adventure Utility
With wide hatch geometry, 60/40 flat-folding rear seats, and heavy-duty integrated roof rails, packing bikes, camping gear, and water toys for Castaic Lake or Lake Piru is effortless. Underfloor battery packaging preserves maximum flat load area for active lifestyles.
