Subaru is rumored to be giving its Crosstrek a more powerful engine for 2021.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In a recent interview, Subaru CEO Tom Doll shared the updated Crosstrek will sport the brand’s 2.5-liter boxer-four engine to replace the current 2.0-liter engine, which is standard equipment on all trims of the subcompact crossover.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Other representatives of the company, however, declined to confirm the new engine that will be added to the Crosstrek when asked.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But based on circulating reports, the 2.5-liter engine will be offered in a new Sport trim level and the range-topping Limited trim. The rumored engine makes 182 horsepower and 176 lb-ft of torque in other Subaru models such as the Outback and Forester.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If it generates the same power when equipped on the new Crosstrek, this will give the subcompact crossover an additional 30 horsepower and 31 lb-ft of torque compared to the current 2.0-liter boxer-four.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With the addition of the 2.5L, it’s also likely it will be paired to a continuously variable transmission and an all-wheel-drive system, considering the more premium trim levels of the Crosstrek are not likely to offer a six-speed manual the same way base and Premium Crosstreks do.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If equipped with a CVT, the Crosstrek is capable of going from zero to 60 mph in 9.1 seconds on a 2.0-liter engine. A more powerful engine than could improve this setup does seem more than welcome to consumers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As of this writing, nothing has been formally announced by Subaru with regard to the new Crosstrek.<\/p>\n<\/body><\/html>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
