2024 Subaru Crosstrek Sport First Drive: Surprise! 2.5-liter is the engine to get again
on sale today. Worse, if you’re driving at altitude as so many Subaru owners do, getting up steep mountains can be a trying, tach-needle-pegged experience. Even just keeping up with exuberant rush-hour traffic at sea level takes extra effort. While the rest of the world gently leans into their torque-rich, boosted, little four-cylinder, you’ll have your foot buried in the Crosstrek 2.0’s throttle just to maintain pace.
This is where the 2.5-liter comes into play. Just the simple act of pulling out onto a main road first thing in the morning is enough to know this is the engine you want. It’s not that the 2.5-liter turns the Crosstrek into a speed demon — far from it. But the extra displacement and torque allow you to accelerate at a normal pace of traffic. Merging onto the highway or quickly passing a tractor on a country road can be done without extra thought or worry.
Subaru says it re-tuned the continuously variable transmission for the 2.5-liter’s new torque curve to take advantage of the lower peak torque, but it largely behaves the same as any other Subaru CVT. The revs will pogo back and forth when you have the throttle matted in an attempt to simulate shifts, and it remains responsive enough to throttle inputs to do the job.
