Camden, N.J. - Subaru of America, Inc. introduced the 2020 Crosstrek compact SÚV. For 2020, all Crosstrek models equipped with Lineartronic® CVT come standard with the award-winning Subaru EyeSight® Driver Assist Technology, Auto Start-Stop and SI-Drive. Also new for 2020 is the available Rear Seat Reminder, designed to help prevent child or pet entrapment by alerting the driver to check the rear seat before exiting the vehicle.

The 2020 Crosstrek is offered in three trim levels – Base, Premium, and Limited, and arrives in Subaru retailers this fall.

With safety as Subaru's top priority, EyeSight Driver Assist Technology is now standard on all 2020 Crosstrek models with Lineartronic CVT (continuously variable transmission). EyeSight Driver Assist Technology includes Automatic Pre-Collision Braking and Throttle Management; Lane Keep Assist; Lane Departure and Sway Warning; and Lead Vehicle Start Alert.

Crosstrek has been named an Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) TOP SAFETY PICK+ for five years running (2015–2019)*.

All 2020 Crosstrek models include seven airbags including driver and front passenger frontal airbags, side curtain airbags and side pelvis/torso airbags as well as a driver's knee airbag.

The 2020 Crosstrek is equipped with standard Subaru Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive, Active Torque Vectoring and 2.0-liter 4-cylinder SÚBARÚ BOXER® engine that delivers 152-hp and 145 lb-ft of torque.
