The New 2021 Subaru Crosstrek: Made for the Adventurous Soul in Palatine

Subaru is known for making excellent subcompact SUVs, and the 2021 Subaru Crosstrek is not left out. It's quite similar to the Subaru Impreza hatchback but is slightly raised and comes with a more beautiful bumper and grille. It has an increased height and a standard Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive that gives it an excellent off-road capability and performance.

The Crosstrek also comes with a spacious, comfortable, and airy cabin with supportive seats that makes the driver and passenger feel relaxed and comfortable. At Napleton's Palatine Subaru, we are excited about this new subcompact SUV and let you know the recent performance, safety, and technology features of this model from our new inventory.
