DANGER’S BIGGEST FOE—CONFIDENCE.
Many of the same features that make the Subaru XV Crosstrek a thrill to drive also help keep you out of harm’s way. The stable, responsive handling
of its Subaru Symmetrical Full-Time AWD is enhanced by the low centre of gravity of its SUBARU BOXER® engine. Combined with the standard
Vehicle Dynamics Control System, surefooted suspension, antilock brakes and responsive steering, you’re always in control.

Vehicle Dynamics Control System

Oversteer
Ideal
cornering

Standard on every Subaru XV Crosstrek, the Vehicle Dynamics Control System monitors, and through a
range of sensors, analyzes whether the car is following your intended course. If the vehicle approaches the
limits of stability while cornering or avoiding an obstacle, the AWD torque distribution, engine output and
brakes at each wheel adjust to keep the vehicle on course.

Braking System

With powerful disc brakes at every wheel, the Subaru XV Crosstrek has braking response that’s in a class
of its own. The standard 4-channel Antilock Braking System (ABS) prevents brake lock under hard braking
and is matched with Electronic Brake-force Distribution, which reapportions the front/rear braking pressure
when the vehicle is loaded. The Subaru XV Crosstrek also ensures maximum braking during an emergency
with brake assist, delivering higher levels of braking force when the brake pedal is applied fully or rapidly;
and with brake override, enabling you to brake to a stop even if the gas pedal is applied at the same time.
