2024 Subaru Crosstrek Wilderness: Epic 1,200-Mile Roadtrip

[@geosh10]

I sell Subaru’s and I’m very impressed with your honest review. I tell my customers to watch your videos!

[@ezracohen8247]

They aren't your customers they are subarus. You are an unfortunate middle man. Don't take so much credit. Chill out.

[@guidominadisospiro3553]

I watch all your videos about off-roading, and am never disappointed; on the contrary, the quality of your output is consistently remarkable. Bravo, and thank you!

[@UtahJohn777]

I have about 1600 miles on my new 2024 Subaru Crosstrek Wilderness, Loving it! My 2013 Crosstrek was totalled in an accident on December 22nd. The safety of my 2013 Crosstrek saved my life, that is why I have a 2024 Crosstrek.

[@Ziptieguy]

Can I ask about how it saved you? My wife is not wanting such a small vehicle. F=ma. She is scared of colliding with a much heavier vehicle and getting squashed.

[@UtahJohn777]

@@Ziptieguy All U.S. cars are safety rated. Subaru is rated amongst the best. It has to do with how the energy is dissipated in a collision (crumple zones, etc) and air bags. We were in a bad head on collision with several other vehicles. My son and I were able to walk away while the other (bigger),vehicle occupants were carried away in stretchers. I never thought much about safety ratings until that day. A big part of buying another Crosstrek was based on that experience. Kinetic Energy must be spent, ideally not on the occupant. It is possible for a person to die in a vehicle that didn't receive much damage.

[@stevepacenka2748]

A worthwhile hour. This channel's tests helped me to select my '21 Crosstrek hybrid, which is my best ever vehicle. Drove it 2000 miles in the last 10 days. It certainly is a pleasant highway drive with low fatigue. Aftermarket all-terrain tires help it on dirt roads and on grass which are part of many of my trips. The tires and a roof basket (to make up for loss of cargo space for the batteries) bring down mileage to around 30 mpg on 65 mph expressways.

[@MrDistill]

This video is epic. Not only do you provide really amazing information . You are extremely watchable not many people can pull off a road trip video. Big up to you.

[@FlyingRyan23]

Just took my Crosstrek Wilderness on its first adventure! Went to the Grand Canyon for a couple of days, started and ended the journey in Phoenix and I averaged around 27 mpg. Handles amazingly on the highway and on the forest dirt roads. Can't wait to take it on its next trip to Utah!

[@oddities-whatnot]

@@RRr-yl8zreconomy is poor. In Britain that would be unacceptable. If a car doesn’t get at least 40mpg average its not worth it unless you enjoy spending money on petrol. Ive had three Subarus though so ive no room to talk 😂

[@grantbender500]

I would love to see a competition/comparison between the 3 wilderness models and would also love to hear your thoughts on which one you would buy and why.

[@Treetopflyer777]

Best automotive journalist out there. This video is yet another example of that. I don’t watch KZbin videos this long. Except when Ryan makes one. I watch these every time one comes out and I’m not even in the market for a new car. Lol

[@CoolPilot]

Ryan you are the cream of the crop of all automobile journalists! Thank you for bringing us with you in your awesome journey and showing the beautiful landscapes all while appreciating the capability of this Wilderness. You make me feel good about getting mine, I picked up my Geyser Blue last week! 😊 Looking forward to the next videos! Cheers from Canada.

I just ordered a 2024 wilderness and then stumbled upon your video. Glad to hear you're liking it so much, really reinforces that I made the right choice! Great video and review. Thank you!

[@guyrusso8011]

How’s your Crosstrek wilderness been after 8months? Just got mine in green 4 days ago.

[@briAction]

@guyrusso8011 probably the best car I've ever owned tbh. No issues, handles great. I don't beat on it but I don't baby and it it just feels rock solid. Forest roads at 40+ mph in a small nimble car is a lot of fun. I've grown to like the cvt, the smooth powerband is satisfying. Interior has held up well. Except get a vinyl to cover the piano black on the center console and get a glare cover for the tablet

[@brianh2476]

I'm impressed with your impressions of this Crosstrek Wilderness 😊. Keep doing what you're doing, Ryan.

[@tomridesbikesPNW]

Ryan, I think your videos are absolutely fantastic! I can see why Subaru gives you long term loaners! You highlight almost all of the key features, performance, pros and cons in the vehicles class and price point, it is glorious. Can I make a suggestion? I notice that in your reviews, you don't often highlight audio system performance, this is important to many of us considering a daily driver, acoustic performance is also important! Keep doing what you are doing, PNW!

[@adamwells2597]

I was thinking no way I can watch this whole video! WRONG!! Ryan you crush it man keep up the great content so entertaining. 👍🏻👍🏻 two thumbs up for this one!!

[@PatrickRich]

Im glad you got to experience what the crosstrek is like at Utah Elevations. You can only imagine what the 2.0 felt like.

[@drivingsports]

Hard pass. 😂

[@eskieman3948]

You could imagine what it would have been like to drive if the engine had CARBURATORS instead of computer-controlled fuel injection! 😵‍💫😵‍💫😵‍💫😵‍💫

[@veitjacob9764]

Congrats to this video! 76min of breathtaking drone shots and a drive through a spectacular scenery is worth every minute.🎉 And Subaru is very confident to lend you a car for several months and let you drive 1200miles with lots of offroad. And no problems whatsoever. Impressive!

[@LatersOnTheMenjay.]

If they turbo-charged these then I feel like it would fill the void left by the 'exciting days' of the WRX and become a new halo car for Subaru. It has the look and the off-road capability, but a turbo would give it the x-factor.

[@letsgo_inc]

A base spec crosstrek with a manual and a turbo would sell like hotcakes. I'd easily take cloth seats and minimal features for that combo...they will never do it tho.

[@LatersOnTheMenjay.]

@@letsgo_inc unfortunately it seems rare to get a good engine in a basic trim these days.

[@jhondoe1483]

@@letsgo_incbecause it doesn’t sell, what people say they will buy isn’t the same as what they buy, people who say “I’d never buy a brand new car” are the same ones who complain about what they want from a new car. Very very few people want a total base model car with 7000 dollar engine options

[@doorkicker8507]

They would also charge 15 grand more. And NOT sell as much.

[@rescuesar54]

I might have considered the Crosstrek…but it didn’t have the turbo option. Went with the OBW in graphite…green was second choice.

[@LordBass]

This thing needs 80s-style 4WD badges (and a manual). Thx for this trip thru the mountains! 👍

[@knightryder3757]

Excellent review, as usual. I just went off roading recently and after studying your review of the Wilderness, I feel the sport performs plenty enough equal to the Wilderness that I don't regret not waiting for the Wilderness. On another note, I discovered that hill descent control works just as effectively in reverse as it does going forward. Excellent feature indeed!

[@Soul2burn]

i just bought a Subaru crosstrek and i'm impressed with it. I traded a 2017 jeep wrangler and a kawasaki w800 plus 10,000 cash for my new crosstrek and at 73 i'm thoroughly impressed

Did a 1800 mile road trip with my 2023 crosstrek sport. From California coast to Kansas fort Riley near Missouri and I went thru every weather possible from snow to rain, mountains, blizzards etc

The greatest compliment to this car is that after 1200 miles of driving, you're rolling over right into filming the hill test.

I went up Mona Pole Road recently. I’m impressed you made it. It wasn’t super technical, but that lower section is pretty steep, I was happy to have 4L.

[@saltyt.1886]

Thank you Ryan for being the “go to reviewer“ for all things Subaru!! 👏👏👏 With all the positive things you’ve said about the 2024 Crosstrek Wilderness goodness, it REALLY makes me look forward to the 2025 Forester and Outback redesigns!! ❤❤❤

[@gordonsmith3261]

What a joy to watch Ryan! Have driven both that stretch of 15 and 90 many times. Also have relatives in Coeur d'Alene, drove through the Medical Lake area last week and have filled up at the Ritzville Chevron 😄. Oh, and used to live in Kingston!. Mine is SUPPOSED to come in this week, with trailer hitch installed and read to boondock! Can't wait for your off-road test!

[@JamesSymmonds]

I was bummed that you cut the drive between Missoula and Coeur d'Alene short. That is a gorgeous drive! (And moody weather seems to be the norm.) But bonus points for the 50,000 Silver Dollar Inn billboards. That climb out of the gorge is definitely a gas mileage killer in both directions. Glad you mentioned and showed the Gray Fire west of Spokane. I was driving out west to see family in Seattle when it closed down I-90 and they routed us out on hwy 2... and kept rerouting us enroute because the fire was such a wildcard. Coming back through 2 weeks later was insane. As far as Subarus and how they do on highways, I've got a 2022 Forester Sport and the last two years on road trips, I barely creep over 30 mpg. In town mix of street and highway, I don't even make the city numbers. Previous to the Subaru, I've ALWAYS easily bested the EPA numbers on the sticker. Even on a Honda Element which is more of a brick than the Forester. (The mental gymnastics that I've seen forum members do to try to explain it away are more astounding then Simon Biles.) The gas mileage numbers on the Forester computer are always 1.5 mpg more than hand calculated. I love the Forester for road trips but these two things leave me a little disappointed. The winds across Kansas, Eastern Colorado, Wyoming, Montana, and Eastern Washington are brutal but I've done it in other cars without the drastic difference.

[@DarianDT]

Can't wait for my kids to grow up so I can have this kind of freedom to do road trips solo again.

[@sleepingthroughthewar]

Awesome video! So glad you picked green because after watching I feel like I made the right choice when I ordered one :) altough I will say, the whole time watching this I kept thinking how much better it would look without those weird yellow accents lol gonna be looking for a blackout vinyl for them or some other solution asap. Please let us know if you hear about any being sold! Thank you can't wait for the next video!

[@kubi0461]

I’d rather it be in the forester, but I would definitely pay more for more power and a few more features on one. A hybrid might be nice if done right.

[@sssnake2332]

Hello from Missoula! Glad to see you stop by. Next time you're in town, check out Blue Mountain. My lifted Forester can barely make it up.

[@viewer8888]

I love my 2017 Crosstrek. It hasn't taken me away from the highway like that, but it's done well be me, including an LA->Denver->and back drive which included snow. It's paid for and there's a lot of mileage left in it, but you're really tempting my with this Wilderness video.

[@martinr8278]

Really looking forward to how this performs in some crazy off roading snowy conditions. I could have watched this for a couple more hours. I love these wilderness editions from Subaru, would love to get any one of them. Amazing vehicle and drive. Well done indeed!

[@uncalm]

Great video, Ryan. I loved the segment you had talking about braking/throttle and how they relate to weight transfer and rotation, especially on loose surfaces. Reminds me of when I was a kid teaching myself how to AWD drift on snow in my '03 Forester 5 speed manual, and figuring out that throttle put the weight on the rear and rotated it through corners. I loved how that Forester handled on snow/gravel as it was (I think, if I remember correctly) a 50-50 front-rear power split in those older model year manuals. It was just so predictable. Also looking forward to seeing your tests of this Crosstrek Wilderness in the snow. This will also be the first Minnesota winter for my '23 Outback Wilderness, and your "adventure" videos were a big help in making my purchase! The snow/ice up here in Minnesota is no joke!

[@1988shyam]

Is it too much to say that you are living the dream. I am watching this video in the middle of the night and i dint skip a beat . And now i wanna buy a car which is not in my country, you did that good. Thank you. Living the dream. Cross country road trip. Dammmm

One hell of a video adventure/trip and I watched the whole thing! I have owned two Crosstrek's (2018 and 2019) and they were good for what I needed them for. This past summer, I bought a left over 2022 Jeep Cherokee Trailhawk with the 3.2 V6 for around $34K. If I hadn't, right now I would highly consider the Crosstrek Wilderness....specially after your video! Again, fantastic adventure and a big Thanks for bringing us along! Cheers!

Hello Ryan, I am a regular viewer of your content and am appreciative of the work that must go into them. I’m sure I’m not the only viewer however who would like to see the Sport and more standard Subaru Crosstrek, Forester and Outback models put through their paces. All of the US channels seem to focus exclusively on the “Wilderness” trim, especially when it comes to off road capability testing.

My 21 Crosstrek sport can go 500 miles on a single tank of 65 mph highways, the range and endurance of the crosstreks can’t be beat.

[@0HOON0]

The Wilderness trim does seem to take a larger hit to MPG than I was expecting.

[@J.Young808]

@@0HOON0I believe it’s due to increased tire rolling resistance and final drive gearing (ever so slight aero)

crosstrek probably more reliable than the compass.i would lean to the forester wilderness more cargo area which is important to me.

[@FlowJunkie65]

Great road/off-road review, Ryan. I look forward to updates during your possession of this Crosstrek. I own a '22 Forester Premium which I love. I thought about the Wilderness model, but my off-road driving does not warrant a Wilderness and I prefer the better MPG -- recently my highway MPG from Yosemite National Park to Los Angeles was 34 MPG and it was the same driving up to Yosemite.

Hello, I think you need to do these long videos with all the new mid-size trucks there are coming out; I really like this video.

i have found you get better MPGs when you use the cruise control as much as you can !

[@deltabravo1257]

I've been watching a lot of your Subaru videos, especially Crosstrek videos after finding your channel about 2 years or so ago. I currently have a 2013 Crosstrek. It serves my needs well, but I keep getting the urge to upgrade to one with the 2.5L.

[@eskieman3948]

There is a noticeable improvement in performance with the 2.5L. IMHO, I think it's mostly due to the additional torque provided vs. the increased HP. CVTs do respond better to additional torque.... that's why a Outback XT is definitely more enjoyable to drive over the the 2.5L - many people wouldn't notice the driving difference between a regular auto transmission and a CVT in the XT (the wife didn't compared to our '10 Chevy Malibu w/6spd auto).

[@Moose-wj8sc]

I did that drive from Missoula to Seattle and I have to agree, one of the most scenic drives I’ve been. Washington state is very beautiful. That Subaru also impressed me more than I expected

just a few weeks ago I took delivery of my own 2024 Crosstrek Wilderness in Alpine Green . what a beautiful car! . it was between Alpine Green & Geyser Blue; but if I’m honest with myself, there was no contest, it was always going to be the green

[@thomasthurston608]

Thanks so much! I especially enjoyed that you spent time driving on the same roads I drive. I'm not sure whether I've driven on that exact road above Mona, but I have driven many of the trails around Nebo. I'm quite sure I've been through that high meadow where you turned acound. But I've done them in my older Forester which only has 7.5 inches of ground clearance. But at least I have a full size spare, and I've damaged a tire couple of times on roads like that and had to drive out on the spare. The lack of a full sized spare is one of the major issues that concerns me about the Crosstrek Wilderness.

[@mickeybrumfield764]

Subaru really needs to put a front camera on all Wilderness models if not all of their cars with AWD. They could also put an altimeter on their cars that have GPS technology. It is just software my Garmin watch has an altimeter, and it doesn't cost anywhere near as much as a Subaru.

[@drivingsports]

I had to use a Garmin to measure altitude throughout the trip.

[@mickeybrumfield764]

@drivingsports Not everyone has a Garmin watch, and people with Subarus are often in the mountains. My Outback has 4 or 5 compasses. They could put an altimeter where one of those compasses is.

[@markweaver1012]

They really should put a front camera on everything. We have one on our OB Onyx XT and used it off road, but it's also great for...parallel parking ;)

[@mickeybrumfield764]

@markweaver1012 $200 phones have 3 cameras on them that don't get used, a $40,000 car should have 2 cameras on them that really could prevent the car from being damaged.

[@JodyCarbone]

It's very disappointing that Subaru decided to dumb down the CTW by leaving off front approach camera, and full size spare. I've never had the former but with small spare it's only offroad "capable". It also, unfairly, marks the Crosstrek as something Forester & Outback owners are enjoying laughing at.

[@BillFerris]

I'm late to the Crosstrek series but wanted to say how much I've enjoyed watching your videos, listening to your commentary, and the drone footage. That sunrise shot on the morning you drove through Craters of the Moon is spectacular. I'd also like to share a recommendation. How about a video comparing the Crosstek Wilderness and Outback Wilderness. Talk about their different pros & cons and who you think the customer for each vehicle is.

Just got back from YNP to Eugene OR. Mine is a 23 limited. Enjoyed the drive both ways. Hit all kinds of weather. 80 - 85 mph it did fine. In YNP went over 8000 pass plus on some non-pavement. I have Falken Wildpeak tires. All good. A bit noisy at higher speeds but OK.
