Some of the best weekends start right where the pavement ends. The 2027 Subaru Crosstrek Wilderness brings purpose-built trail hardware to a compact SUV that still handles daily errands with ease. Here, the team at AutoNation Subaru Carlsbad breaks down what makes the Wilderness trim ready for dirt, sand, and rocky climbs.
Built to Clear the Obstacles Ahead
Ground clearance and approach angles decide whether you roll over a rock or scrape against it. The 2027 Subaru Crosstrek Wilderness rides on a raised suspension with these trail-ready figures:
- 9.3 inches of minimum ground clearance
- 20.0-degree approach angle
- 33.0-degree departure angle
- 21.1-degree breakover angle
Underbody protection shields vital components when the terrain turns unpredictable. Matte black 17-inch alloy wheels wear all-terrain tires for added grip on loose surfaces. A tight 34.78-foot turning circle simplifies narrow switchbacks.
Power and Traction Where It Counts
A 2.5-liter SUBARU BOXER® engine delivers 180 horsepower and 178 lb-ft of torque. When properly equipped, this crossover is rated to tow up to 3,500 lbs. The Wilderness trim adds a 4.111 final drive ratio for stronger low-speed response, so steep grades feel controlled instead of labored. The Lineartronic® CVT also gets an air-cooled transmission fluid cooler to stay composed during long climbs.
Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive® sends power to all four wheels for confident footing. The X-MODE® Dual-Mode System adds Snow/Dirt and Deep Snow/Mud settings for slick conditions. Hill Descent Control holds a steady pace on steep descents, letting you focus on your line.
