The current generation of the crossover sold with one power unit: a 2.0-liter with 150 horsepower.
The Subaru has more tempting offers, which do not suffocate from lack of power, such as a Forester 2.0 XT. This option, of course, will cost more, but the hatchback Impreza can be a serious rival and outshine its fellow.

Since then, Outback has become a symbol of easy terrain. Further, the engineers at Subaru decided to cross the reliability and patency of Impreza Outback with the wayward, resulting in and get Subaru XV Crosstrek Limited in the form in which it is now.
