The Subaru Crosstrek Wilderness
The Subaru Crosstrek debuts in the Wilderness family with upgraded suspension and aggressive styling. It gains more capability with a higher towing capacity, a beefed-up drivetrain, and a front skid plate for protection against obstacles you encounter in Natick. The Crosstrek looks rugged with plastic cladding and offers drivers a roomy interior, more ground clearance, and standard all-wheel drive.
Performance
Powering the new Subaru Crosstrek Wilderness is a 2.5L flat-four engine making 182 horsepower and 176 pound-feet of torque. The Wilderness employs a retuned continuously variable automatic transmission for better low-speed performance. Drivers can enjoy more than double tow ratings as the Wilderness gets a bump from 1,500 pounds to 3,500 pounds. The drive ratio has been tweaked and dropped to enhance low-speed climbing through Killingly, CT.
The standard all-wheel drive gives the Crosstrek Wilderness maximum traction by effectively distributing power to all the wheels, increasing stability. The Yokohama all-terrain tires further enhance traction.
The new Subaru Crosstrek Wilderness has a ground clearance of 9.3 inches thanks to the tweaked suspension that gives it a 0.6-inch lift. The higher ground clearance also gives the Wilderness higher break over, departure, and approach angles.
The X-Mode improves traction by adjusting the transmission and throttle in varying conditions, such as mud, dirt, and deep snow. The Wilderness comes standard with hill descent control and a stout rear differential.
Design and Tech
From its enhanced roof rails to the redesigned front and rear bumpers, the new Crosstrek Wilderness is ready to show off its trail-ready capability. The rugged styling features 17-inch alloy wheels and a hood decal that helps reduce glare and lets you see the trail ahead clearly. Other unique exterior design elements include a black-finish trim and yellow tow hook covers. The standard roof rails have a dynamic load capacity of 176 pounds and a static load limit of up to 700 pounds.
The interior of the Crosstrek Wilderness features water-resistant upholstery and heated front seats. An 11.6 touchscreen works with the infotainment system. Drivers can enjoy various convenience and connectivity features such as wireless device charging and wireless Android Auto and Apple CarPlay. Lane-keeping assistance, blind-spot warning, and pre-collision braking include the standard driver-assist technology.
Outback Wilderness
If you are looking for another Wilderness model option, you can choose the Subaru Outback Wilderness. It still gives you the standard symmetrical all-wheel drive system you are used to, but it has been tuned to give you even more performance when going off the beaten path.
You can drive on some of the toughest trails without problems. The 9.5 inches of ground clearance is the main advantage of this vehicle for exploring nature. It offers a front skid plate to ensure your vehicle is protected from obstacles under it.
Forester Wilderness
The main thing you will notice about the Subaru Forester Wilderness is that it has been developed to be even more rugged than the default version. The first main benefit is that you get 9.2 inches of ground clearance, ensuring you can go places other vehicles cannot. You also get an added skid plate to protect your car when driving over dangerous obstacles. The front and rear bumpers were also changed to offer more protection from obstacles when you turn at an angle.
In terms of your wheels, you have all-terrain tires combined with a full-size spare. If something goes wrong, you can replace your tire with the same size you have on. It means you will be able to feel confident when you go on your next adventure because you have access to reliable tires that give you the performance you need in the most demanding areas.

These features make this vehicle the right option for people looking to escape to the outside world with friends or family.
The Outback Wilderness
Like the Forester Wilderness model, you get an enhanced X-MODE that makes driving in deep snow, sand, and mud as easy as being on a paved road. You can power through some of the harshest conditions imaginable without breaking a sweat.
You can also depend on your vehicle to take you on an adventure and back. The full-size spare is a major selling point because it gives you peace of mind that your vehicle can make it home without any problems.
The Subaru Outback Wilderness is efficient, meaning it is an excellent choice for people with a family. It offers reinforced roof rails to give you more capability to bring all your stuff. You also have excellent technology inside to keep you entertained wherever you are.
You get a standard 11.6-inch touchscreen system that integrates with your Apple or Android smartphone. You can use your favorite apps without using your hands with this technology.
The Forester Wilderness
This vehicle also offers an enhanced X-MODE to give you even more performance when driving in snow, dirt, or mud. It offers all the power you need to push through adverse conditions without worrying about getting stuck. That is one more feature you can depend on to protect you when going on your next adventure.
The Subaru BOXER engine is back, but it offers revised drivetrain gearing to make it even more impressive when running at low speeds off the beaten path. That means you can climb up to a 40 percent grade without worrying about problems.
You can bring more gear with this new re-tuned engine's 3,000 pounds of towing capacity. The gearing ratios are the main reason for the extra performance, and you will be happy with the extra trail performance you get.
The other excellent benefit of this vehicle is that it offers redesigned roof rails to help you carry more of your stuff when going into the wilderness. You can bring your favorite adventure gear or even a tent. That gives you more storage options to carry your stuff with you. In the back, you have up to 69.1 cubic feet of cargo space to hold your stuff. You can fold the rear seats to give you all the room needed to carry everything needed for the trip.
The Subaru Forester Wilderness still offers all the features necessary to make it an excellent choice for drivers who demand comfort. Despite the rugged build quality, you can still enjoy your vehicle on the streets of Manchester, VT. It still offers Eyesight driver assist technology. However, this feature has been calibrated based on the increased ground clearance and other off-road upgrades you can get with the Forester Wilderness model.
How the Lineup Stacks Up
The Wilderness models are incredibly potent, making it hard to choose the right one for you. However, minor differences are worth considering when deciding the vehicle you want in this lineup.
The first thing to remember is that the Subaru Crosstrek Wilderness offers more towing capacity than the Forester. However, there are also slight differences in ground clearance, which might be important if you need extra performance in this area. The roof rails on the new Crosstrek are not as reinforced as on the Outback or Forester. That is also something else to consider when making your choice as well.
Regardless of which option you choose, you will have a powerful, rugged vehicle capable enough to take you on a grand adventure anywhere. You will be confident to drive on tough trails in some of the worst weather conditions possible.
While doing all this, you will be inside a comfortable cabin with modern conveniences and entertainment options. You also have the cargo capacity to go on an extreme adventure with your family.
