We love plenty of Subaru models here at 3Birds Template, but one we're particularly fond of is the Crosstrek. It's only been in production for three years, but this amazing crossover is already the automaker's third best-selling model, and the 2018 version is only set to push that number higher. Here's what has us so excited about the latest (and greatest) Crosstrek. 

It uses the Subaru Global Platform—so performance is awesome

The 2018 Crosstrek takes advantage of the Subaru Global Platform, a body structure designed to offer the best in terms of performance, safety, agility, and comfort. Plus, every Crosstrek comes equipped with standard Subaru Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive, not to mention your choice of six-speed manual or CVT (depending on the trim). So if you're looking for an agile crossover that's fun to drive and keeps you safe, look no further.

Can you say Apple CarPlay™ and Android Auto™?

Need a vehicle that keeps you entertained? The new Crosstrek says, "No problem!" 2018 models come equipped with a 6.5-inch touchscreen that—among its many features—offers Apple CarPlay™ and Android Auto™ so you can take advantage of all your favorite compatible apps while you're out and about.

Want to kick things up a notch? The Crosstrek's top trim, the Limited, comes with an 8-inch screen, not to mention a wide variety of features we're sure you'll enjoy, including keyless access, a six-way power driver's seat, as well as some pretty incredible assistive safety features including Blind Spot Detection with Lane Change Assist and Rear Cross Traffic Alert.

All for $100 more

One of the best parts about the newest Crosstrek is that all of the above is available for only $100 more than last year's model. With a base MSRP of only $21,795,* the 2018 Subaru Crosstrek is incredibly affordable (in addition to just plain incredible).
