- What’s up guys! This video shows you a walk around review of the 2022 Subaru Crosstrek Sport which supports the 2.5 Boxer engine and CVT. I show you a walk around as well as a 0-60 with GPS support demonstrating the difference between a revved launch and just going off idle at about 4,000’ of elevation!

Sport mode! Everyone forgets about it and drives me crazy. It makes a difference for sure.
Good point! I’m planning to do a 2023 Limited 2.5 later this week potentially so I’ll try it then. I’m not sure this Sport would have done better based off what the environmental conditions and what it’s “rated” at. If you noticed the CVT did it’s job well in holding power. Thanks for watching! 🙂
@@AutomotiveAnonymous208 If available please in any Crosstrek change the (I) to (S). Sport Mode! Bottom right button on the right side of the steering wheel. It makes a satisfying beep.
In my experience testing other Crosstreks and other Subarus since then the Sport mode is basically like a 1 “gear” lower mode to hold a more power RPM position while driving. But, from a revved launch it doesn’t help get a better 0-60, it’s still going to brake rev to the same RPM, and then it’s just a matter of the CVT holding its peak power RPM. I hope that makes sense. Thanks for watching! 🙂
@@AutomotiveAnonymous208 Does it change the torque band? It is "supposed". I notice a difference but I've never tried a 0-60 pull in both modes for comparison.
Yes, when you’re driving it has more torque on demand by basically being in a lower simulated gear. But when launching from a stand still it hasn’t shown improvements in my testing. Honestly, even in one of these first videos I did I caught that I was in “I” rather than “S” and attempted to redo the test on the same spot on the road. And in “S” it was actually a 1/10th slower, lol. Probably due to increased system heat. So I left the video of “I”. But it goes to show that in that specific situation the sport mode doesn’t help.
In 1987 I bought a brand new Subaru turbo 4wd wagon. It was a very capable vehicle for exploring remote backroads in the desert-canyon country of central Utah.
They’re awesome for that purpose! How long did you keep it for? 😀 thanks for watching!
@@AutomotiveAnonymous208 Sold the subaru wagon after 2 years while it was still in good condition. Then I bought a new 1989 toyota short-bed 4wd pickup with better ground clearance and low range gearing. That was a great vehicle.
@@mikeday62 I’ve always loved those Toyota pickups! I’ve owned a couple Tacoma’s myself including a regular cab 5 speed. I bet that was a sweet truck!! 😀
The 2.0L is not nearly as bad as a lot of critics make it out to be; it is perfectly adequate for reasonable driving. That said, Subaru should just make the 2.5L standard in the Crosstrek and Impreza. It gets nearly the same mileage as the 2.0L, and I cant imagine it is much more expensive to produce. The Impreza "Sport" model in particular needs the 2.5L, as it is kind of absurd for the Sport model to have less power than the uplevel Crosstreks.
Spot on, I agree! If you haven’t watched it yet I’ve posted a video of the 2.0 vs. the 2.5 same road/day. The acceleration is big at 3-4 seconds faster in the 2.5. But you’re right the 2.0 is a good engine.
@@AutomotiveAnonymous208 That is a bigger difference than I have seen in most tests. Usually there is about a 1 to 2 second difference.
@@edsmith9855 yeah I was surprised as well! The 2.0 was not brand new like the sport, but still the same second generation 2019+ so I don’t imagine it’s changed much. Kinda crazy. But density altitude robs naturally aspirated power at altitude. 😅
Im in the UK, you make a valid point. We only get the 2.5 in the Outback and its a great engine, as you say, not much more to run it compared to the 2.0 as you dont need to work it as much and the revs stay low with the CVT. I would have the new Outback if I could afford it. I tested the XV (Crosstrek) with the 2.0 and it was more than quick enough on our roads with plenty of pull, but sadly the XV is hybrid only here now. Too heavy and gives no better MPG.
And they need to offer their 6 speed manual in the Crosstrek with the 2.5.
Outstanding
Looking to trade for one. I love my Impreza but now I want more ground clearance.
If you’re in the market I highly recommend them! But if it’s in your budget I think the Limited is the best trim. To get the 2.5 engine and the LED headlights. After owning a halogen headlight crosstrek for 2 years and now a LED headlight outback, I would never want to go back. The safety improvement of more power and better night time visibility only has to be worth it a few times to justify it in my opinion. Thanks for watching! 😀
starts at 8:24.
For clarification that’s when the 0-60 starts. I’ve got a couple 2023 Crosstreks reviews and 0-60 also posted with more trim levels coming soon. Thanks for watching! 😇
Dident mention price
Thanks for watching! 🙂 vehicle link is in the video description.
Thanks for NOT pointing your Go-Pro it yourself...or having insipid music in your video. I quit some other guys vid because he showed his face more than the Subie. I quit another because of his annoying music.
Lol, your welcome. I know what you’re here to see! 😉
Does it have a turbo?
Unfortunately not! 😢
@@AutomotiveAnonymous208 dang the dealership told my grandparent mine was turbocharged and I've been doing research on them is it possible that mine is?
Only if it was an aftermarket turbo, which is very rare on this platform and likely not the case. I will say a lot of people wish this was turbo’d. You can tell a factory turbo Subaru by popping the hood and seeing the big metal rectangular intercooler on top, rather than the regular X shaped black plastic intake manifold. Sorry for any confusion you and your family have had with the dealership! 😔
@Automotive Anonymous thank you for your info it sounds like mine is NA and the dealership tried to hype the car up to my grandparents
More than likely unfortunately. It’s kinda sad how often someone who is unfamiliar with car mechanics will say a car is turbo’d or supercharged, lol. I’ve even had a salesman tell me his car was aftermarket turbo’d and I asked to check out his set up, when he popped the hood it was obviously only an aftermarket intake straight to the throttle body, no turbo. 😅😬
Push button start . . . no thanks.
Still has head gasket issues . . . no thanks
I will say it’s nice to have a smooth proximity key in your pocket rather than a physical key stabbing your thigh (or is it just me? Lol). Also have you heard of many head gasket failures on the current gen 2.5? I haven’t personally heard any that I recall on the forums, just some older generation 2.5s. Thanks for sharing! 🙂
Lol, is your knowledge stuck in 2013?
The head gasket issue was resolved for the 2014 model year.
I'd research a bit before posting something you obviously aren't knowledgeable of.
The liberals aren’t gonna like it when they find out the color is called gunmetal grey 😂
😆😂
