SUBARU GLOBAL
PLATFORM (SGP)
MORE. BETTER.
Of course, the SUBARU BOXER also makes the
Crosstrek incredibly fun to drive. The confident
growl from the engine sets this apart from any other
crossover on the road. The acceleration is responsive
and the CVT, when paired with the optional shift
paddles, creates an engaging and refined experience,
to be sure.
When the original Subaru Crosstrek arrived on the
scene in 2012, it quickly became one of the most
popular models in the Subaru fleet—and for good
reason. There was little room for improvement when
it came to this compact crossover, but the all-new
2018 Subaru Crosstrek is proof that Subaru is always
moving forward. Armed with a new platform, engine,
exterior design and interior design, it’s a more
compelling, more fun and more capable vehicle than
ever before.
The 2018 Subaru Impreza and 2018
Subaru Crosstrek are the first models
to ride on the new Subaru Global
Platform (SGP). This modular design,
which will form the basis for the entire
Subaru fleet in the future, delivers
four key advantages.
MORE SAFETY
A stronger platform sets the stage
for increased strength, resistance to
impact forces and protection for all
occupants.
BETTER HANDLING
When the platform is strong, the
suspension system can be tuned for
superior response to changing road
conditions.
MORE COMFORT
A suspension system tuned for
superior response can also deliver
a comfortable ride that’s perfectly
suited to long road trips.
MORE SPACE
The new platform carves out more
space for all occupants, which
translates into even more comfort for
everyone involved.
