Why Is the Subaru Crosstrek So Much Fun To Drive?
A big part of why people lease or finance a Subaru Crosstrek is its engineering. Under the hood, the standard 180-horsepower 2.5-liter SUBARU BOXER engine churns out smooth, responsive power that feels just right for daily driving and spontaneous outings. It also renders up to an EPA-estimated 26/33 MPG (City/Highway).1 Looking for even more balance between output and efficiency? The hybrid engine option produces 194 net horsepower and a noteworthy EPA-estimated 36/36 MPG (City/Highway).1
No matter which engine you choose, Symmetrical AWD comes standard – so confidence is built in. Power is constantly sent to all four wheels for enhanced grip, while Dual-Function X-MODE and Hill Descent Control help you stay composed when conditions get tricky.
But it doesn't stop there. Most trims of the Subaru Crosstrek for sale boast a 1,500-pound towing capacity,2 while the Crosstrek Wilderness raises the bar with a 3,500-pound threshold.2 When you factor in these performance specs with our available Subaru Crosstrek deals, it's easy to see how this SUV is a popular choice among residents in Highland Park, IL.

From meeting the finance guy, John Ravenda, who introduced me to a 25 year veteran sales rep, Bob Szramek my decision became easy that once again I would be in a Subaru Crosstrek. They both made my time at Subaru worthwhile.
Then I came back a few days later and was met by Yaraslav, a tech consultant who shows you what you need to know about the car after a couple of days when we all have questions. My experience with Muller Subaru has been awesome! Never thought I would say that about a car dealer. Thanks to all, Bob Schwartz
