2013 Subaru XV Crosstrek Limited Start Up, Exhaust, and In Depth Review

Hello and welcome to Saabkyle04! KZbin's largest collection of automotive variety! In today's video, we'll take an up close and personal, in depth look at the all new 2013 Subaru XV Crosstrek Limited.
MSRP Pricing for the Crosstrek, before options, start at:

During this presentation, we will take a 1st person look at what the vehicle is all about beginning with the start up, performance data, fuel economy, the occasional track data, and build quality. Also, I will teach you how to use most of the interior and exterior features in a detailed fashion, that before, you could only get from going to a dealership yourself! Throughout the video, I will highlight key styling and unique differences about the vehicle, any available options, and of course it would not be an enthusiast car video without the good ole engine portion with rev and exhaust note with interior and exterior perspectives. A thorough tour/review of this car designed to give others a greater overall appreciation of the vehicle.

Your walk around reviews are the best on KZbin hands down. You save potential buyers a lot of time.

[@HankDCFC]

Well done! an excellent review. I've watched many of your reviews and would have to say that you are one of the very best car reviewers on the internet. Thank you.

[@jbullets2175]

This was so informative... Thank you so much for the in depth review

[@wtrdogg20]

Details! Thats what we need!! Thanks for this video, dude!!! Real fact, not commercial highlights!!

[@hondaveetc82]

Excellent I love the way u improve ur videos everytime I watch them

[@coffeekhan]

Very nice, thorough review! You answered a lot of my questions about the vehicle. Now, I just need to test drive one to see if I will like the CVT.

[@thefominator456]

Absolutely love this car and your videos Kyle!

[@ryansauto93]

Great video Kyle, I'm interested in this car and it definitely is helpful. Keep it up!

[@Payneayy]

Amazing review! Very in depth!

[@hervue85]

Very nice detailed and informative video. Left with no questions to ask.

[@uther10]

Thanks for the great vid. Very concise and a lot of information.

[@rodolfocortez5406]

gotta love that autumn sun

[@STARSCREAM087]

Once again Kyle you have made my dreams come true. I adore the XV Crosstrek because its a stunning looking car and very versitle

[@MrYank285]

Great reivew, very thorough!

[@th415263]

I completely agree with you. If anything it might even help 'break in' the engine, not that it's needed with today's manufacturing standards. I think the XV sounds amazing when revving.

[@SuperCookieman13]

This is what I am getting when I return from deployment. I am gonna get the 2.0i Premium though.

[@cmoney6175]

Jeremy Cook I know it's 3 years late, but I'd like to thank you for your service my friend! I hope you got the car and are enjoying every second of owning it.

[@jelanicard671]

@Ian Wildon how do you know

[@alphaares6027]

Another year later how did the soldier died😕😂😕😤😳huh??

[@Silverbladestudios]

Crosstrek. Amazing car. Just bought one yesterday

[@andyng0909]

Love watching your videos ! KEEP THEM COMING !

[@jpross123]

Ignore the haters, you are doing a great job with your videos, they have improved greatly since you started. I always look forward to your videos!

[@danprunes3791]

Thank you for the confirmation, much appreciated.

[@kencho97]

Ignore them Kyle, you do a great job and you're improving the quality of your videos, and everybody know that(:

[@architect1803]

Definitely getting my hands on the 2014 model. I couldn't help but comment on the track played. One of my fav bands. M83 - Midnight City :)

[@jbullets2175]

Awesome song

[@painchaud49]

That's exacly what I was waiting for !

[@woody231979]

Great review. Thanks.

[@dave11686]

Great video as always Kyle!

[@Bwolber]

I can't wait to get the 2014 model!

[@JRD19983]

Great video as always Kyle! :) Also could you do a video on a 2013 Scion Tc or Scion FRS?

[@davidbaker9150]

thanks to your review i just purchased a Touring package.

[@amaanmustafa9816]

I love this Subaru XV!

[@Dark0blivion]

I did quite a bit of research on the oil issue before placing an order for an XV. Based on what I read on the NASIOC forums, the oil issue was corrected on models builder after March of this year. And even before then it was only affecting a very small percentage of vehicles.

[@MeGusta1324]

Nice video kyle! :D

[@hANNAbONE]

...just drove one a week ago. Loved it - it was the desert khaki color. woof.!

[@KiDTRiiPz]

is the 60/40 torque split compared to 50/50 that big of a deal? i can drive a standard but im not entirely experienced with it...so i'd be doing automatic or in this case, the CVT. City driving too, im no off-roader.

[@aquateen77723]

I want one of these so bad! Great job, Kyle!

[@eideid5668]

it is fun to have one

[@IAMBEASTY1]

Great video, Kyle. I would like to make a suggestion for the next car you review. And that is the 2013 Scion Fr-s. I don't know if this will make a difference, but I'm throwing it out there. Thanks! (:

[@danprunes3791]

Thank you, every video I've watched never made it clear. Although, it's good to know most other Subarus have an AUX jack.

[@Carsandgamesdude]

thnx man the Santa Fe looks quite nice

[@niuhuskieguy]

Constantly adjusting for the optimal ratio is exactly what the CVT is designed for, so it's not doing anymore work in a manual mode than what it normally does. If anything, it's doing less work as it is using a fixed position to simulate a gear. Don't forget, CVT's may be new to us in the states, but other parts of the world have had them a lot longer.

[@prompterbob]

Great review. Just bought a tangerine Crosstrek.

[@rob11s]

Very nice looking car lot. Great setting for such business, with all those trees and such. Probably makes people walk around there even more.

[@johnsonl3656]

please do a review on 2013 Honda Accord and 2013 Nissan Sentra! good review as always!

[@MrLeicaman]

Just focus on the information he presented! Well done, saabkyle04!

[@nader31]

I love how he shows off the exhaust. I just love seeing gas coming out of the pipe. On a serious note. This car does look good.

[@SJLGG]

Recently bought a 2013 Subaru XV Crosstrek Premium Tangerine Orange. Love the car, it may not be as fast as my previous 2012 Dodge Challenger R/T but it has its perks that many overlook. It's spacious, SUV-like but a bit smaller without the big ass like some other SUVs have. Saves on MPG/insurance (had a 2012 Dodge Challenger. Compare 18mpg to 29mpg). Only thing that I would ask for is unique colors. Some new colors wouldn't hurt (Green, Yellow, Purple, etc). Yes green on hybrid.

[@Veyronp87]

this car looks badass

[@jonajs98]

Looks so much better with the sports mesh grille.

[@Moseslife]

Hi love this Subaru crosstrek xv I need one

[@TravisCyprien]

I almost had a chance to test drive one three weeks ago but the Dealership came up with some type of excuse not to let me test drive it. At the same time i was about to Test drive Toyota RAV4 Sport that they had on there lot but still the dealer acted like i couldn't test drive the RAV4 either. So pretty much i didn't get to test drive the Crosstrex or the RAV4 Sport. But that't typical dealerships sometimes but glad to see this video. I really like the car the Crosstrex does look like a fun offroad car. Thanks Kyle for the video

[@shanelpn]

Thank you, Kyle

[@motormusique]

Really dig this car for its uniqueness. I feel like it will be a hipster hit in 20 years

[@Dark0blivion]

How do you like the organge? I've heard that it's not really a pearl colour.

[@kingnewera100]

it would be extremely epic

[@Karnage543]

He is, its on the way. I was waiting for this one and the Santa Fe cuz those are two cars im thinking of buying.

[@SimplisticallyDigital]

Great review!

[@lynelmore5708]

Swarthy Daisy That's Right

[@basiccable19]

the rims look cool

[@Robertsmith2002]

@saabkyle04 would you mind doing a review on the 2013 camero 2ss I've seen a few but NONE like how you do it thanks in advance

[@Wbrooks01]

Could you do an Outback 3.6R Limited?

[@TheAmindude]

Well done designed..

[@SubieSean]

Beautiful car.

[@joanneskerritt3407]

Just bought one . I love it! J

[@jbullets2175]

How has it held up

[@DKniller95]

@saabkyle04 could you please do a review of the 2013 Subaru forester and the 2013 legacy ? :)

[@iTzZM7TRF]

Can you please make a review on the 2013 Fj Cruiser if its out. And if it isn't make one when its available

[@kenpstok151]

question, is this the basic model? I like it, doing allot of research on it. i want one by next spring/summer

[@kronikinsomniak]

No it is the Limited trim with the leather but the one in the video doesn't have the optioned in Navi. Basic model is the Premium trim with a manual. CVT costs extra.

[@decarloswilliams6099]

Would love to own this particular Subaru. Just worried about the oil comsumption with Subaru's in general.

[@MrJDP117]

Do a video on the new 2013 FJ Cruiser please, it's a good winter car to do.

[@TJC450]

If I didn't get my prius I probably would have defiantly test drove this beauty!

[@donaty27]

Underpowered but good looking. Great review,

[@manpreetbrar67]

@Sailor Williams Yes ur right this also indicates the thing that ur engine is opened for surgery or never opened for repair this indicates the excellent condition of engine....

[@AutoMotoTube]

Nice!

[@desertfox2020]

I was under the impression that since it's supposed to go between several immediate ratios in succession, that skipping some and dropping into a ratio that's relatively far away would put undue stress on it. If I'm wrong, then that's great.

[@canomalo]

whats good with reving the engine like that?

[@Carsandgamesdude]

Please do a video on the Hyundai Santa Fe Sport

[@CarFanatic324]

Kyle, I know that you have a very diverse collection of reviews, but I have noticed that you have very few Acuras, not even any new ones. Please, try to review some, especially the MDX please. Thanks.

[@macjunky123]

That looks really good for a subaru

[@gentle285]

I like this car.

[@BlitzSoccerPL]

thanks for the comment. i like it too its for my mom but i wouldn't mind driving it myself:)

[@danprunes3791]

Does it have the actual AUX input or is it like the BMW "AUX" inputs made only for iPods?

[@BeerBourbonBaits]

You think you could review an Acura MDX vs RDX?

[@emilsd11]

On the H2 I also couldn't agree more. It is a GMC Tahoe, that is what it should be called :D

[@Rayven_cat]

Is this car underpowered like the Tribeca? Or is it more like a base Outback?

[@ChipsA17]

I currently have an 08 legacy limited. I think this might be my next car. I found 1 for $14000 with 58000 miles. Limited.

[@PHILLIPS8822]

I was seriously considering getting this vehicle until I did a little research.I read what owners had to say on a Subaru XV forum and apparently some owners are experiencing high oil consumption on the 2013's.Heck I have a 2003 Honda Element (which I was going to trade) that has over 200,000 miles and it doesn't burn a drop of oil. I hope Subaru resolves this issue with the 2014 and beyond. As they say the first rule of thumb don't buy the first year of a new model vehicle

[@codymhurst]

Hey Kyle, could you do the Scion iQ?

[@shawnriv9]

Does this one have the spoiler? The rear looks a little more sporty.

[@HeatheersVlogs]

I really like the spacing and how it’s easy to use. Who has this if you do what are the up and the downs? Please message me today. Just want to hear what ppl have to say

[@importcarenthusiast]

Very nice! I'd love to have one in gray with a manual.

[@imcool267]

Can you please make a video of the 2012 inifniti g37 coupe please

[@EverydayDrives]

Wow everythin looks well laid out under the hood.

[@TheAmindude]

Its a nice subaru i would buy this kind.

[@urmomfarturdaddied]

I love Midnight City!

[@johnathanmegee4807]

can you do the Subaru Outback

[@HUMC5]

i like this subaru

[@Karnage543]

No problem. Like his Facebook page, he posts up all his future projects he plans on reviewing.

[@damieg82]

Always wondered why at the start and end of the vids you hit the unlock/lock buttons more than once?! Twice for locking is only necessary for vehicles with double-locking. But only need one tap to unlock

[@AJvideos2675]

can you do the 2004 acura rl kyle

[@niuhuskieguy]

I can tell you from my experience with the Legacy, the shift change using the paddles with the CVT is very smooth and not jumpy at all. Using the paddle shift def makes the car feel a little faster than regular drive mode. Plus the paddles can be used at any time the car is moving without moving the shifter to the manual gate.

[@Dark0blivion]

What does the Canadian version have that the U.S. model doesn't?

[@BlitzSoccerPL]

is this a good car? im about to buy it. Any thoughts, comments????

[@CarCrazy60]

Sorry kinda just wondering why all water in tailpipes in vids? Just normal condensation?

[@waterloo123100]

I'm really liking this car. I hate it when you can't get a after market stereo. While this one looks like you can.
