5 reasons to buy the 2014 Subaru XV Crosstrek Hybrid
1. AWD as standard
One of the best things about a vehicle that’s part SUV is the all-wheel drive. The 2014 Subaru XV Crosstrek Hybrid comes with AWD as standard, across two different types of transmission options. The all-wheel-drive system has extra traction when you’re traversing rough terrain or slick roads, giving you peace of mind while adventuring.
2. Good off-roader
The 2014 Subaru XV Crosstrek Hybrid is a strong choice for light off-roading. The all-wheel drive gives you extra control when on loose, rough, or slippery terrain. There’s also 8.7 inches of ground clearance, further broadening the types of surface it can drive on, and the traction control system provides additional stability where you need it. It’s the ideal companion for road trips and outdoorsy staycations.
3. Spacious
The sheer amount of space you get with the 2014 Subaru XV Crosstrek Hybrid makes it really shine as a practical option. Even the rear seats are suitable for tall adults, and the cargo space is spectacular. With the rear seats up, the 2014 Subaru XV Crosstrek Hybrid has 21.5 cu-ft of storage space – but with them folded, there’s a huge 50.2 cu-ft. The flat floor load also means you can make the most out of that space.
4. Hybrid performance
Perhaps unsurprisingly for a hybrid, the 2014 Subaru XV Crosstrek Hybrid is a frugal performer. It can propel itself at low speeds purely under electric power, which is what improves the mpg, especially in city traffic. The 2014 Subaru XV Crosstrek Hybrid achieves an EPA-estimated 31 combined mpg, which is impressive by anyone's standards.
5. Quiet inside
A big perk of the 2014 Subaru XV Crosstrek Hybrid is its premium interior. Not only does it look great, but the sturdy vehicle and high-end surfaces inside do a great job of filtering out road and other outside noise. That’s one less thing to distract you while trying to enjoy a peaceful drive.
