2024 Subaru Crosstrek Connecticut
Connecticut commuters, are you looking for a vehicle that combines fuel efficiency, performance, and safety for your daily drives? Look no further than the 2024 Subaru Crosstrek Connecticut. We sat down with Buddy Blichfeldt, an expert from Quality Subaru in Wallingford, CT, to get the inside scoop on why the Crosstrek might just be the ultimate choice for Connecticut commuters.
Fuel Efficiency That Saves You Money
When it comes to commuting, fuel efficiency is a top priority. The 2024 Subaru Crosstrek Connecticut doesn’t disappoint in this department. Blichfeldt explains, “The fuel economy is incredible because it’s hardly working. So, when you take a look at the fuel economy of our vehicle versus the competition, the real-world fuel economy of our vehicle versus the competition, it’s just much better.”
But what makes the Crosstrek so fuel-efficient? Blichfeldt elaborates, “You have two motors to choose from in a Crosstrek. You have the two liter in the base model and then you have the 2.5 liter in the upper trim levels and that 2.5 liter motor that’s the same motor that’s in our full-size Outback.”
This powerful engine doesn’t come at the cost of fuel efficiency. In fact, it enhances it. Blichfeldt notes, “It’s incredible. And the fuel economy is incredible because it’s hardly working.”
Performance That Impresses
Connecticut commuters need a vehicle that can handle both city streets and highway driving. The 2024 Subaru Crosstrek Connecticut delivers on both fronts. Blichfeldt highlights the Crosstrek’s performance capabilities:
“When you drive a Crosstrek versus the competition, it’s not even close. They can match up size-wise and they can match up in certain dimensions, interior-wise, but the experience of driving one versus the other, there’s nothing even, there is no even close second place to a Crosstrek.”
He adds, “Our vehicle is absolutely quieter. The way it rides over imperfections in the road is second to none. You feel like you’re in a vehicle that is much larger.”
All-Wheel Drive: A Connecticut Necessity
Connecticut’s diverse terrain and changing seasons demand a vehicle that can handle it all. The Crosstrek’s standard all-wheel drive system is a game-changer for local commuters. Blichfeldt emphasizes, “Our ground clearance. We have 8.7 inches of ground clearance in the vehicle. And then if you are looking at the Wilderness model, you get another half inch on top of that.”
This capability extends to all driving conditions. Blichfeldt explains, “Having that boxer flat four engine where the center of gravity is so low, having a structure that is so well built between all of the high strength steel and all of the high strength welding and then that special high strength structural adhesives that they use. It’s just a structure that no one else produces in this category of vehicle this strong, this composed.”
Safety Features for Peace of Mind
Safety is paramount for Connecticut commuters, and the 2024 Subaru Crosstrek Connecticut excels in this area. Blichfeldt explains, “That’s part of the DNA of Subaru is safety. And they engineer that… when you sit in it and then you go sit in the competition, hands down, nothing can compare to the Crosstrek.”
He adds, “One of the key criteria when they engineered the vehicle is how is it going to perform, you know, if you were to get into an accident, how is it going to withstand that accident? How is it going to absorb the impact and the energy that gets transferred when you’re in an accident?”
Comfort for Your Daily Commute
Long commutes require a comfortable interior, and the Crosstrek delivers. Blichfeldt describes, “When you sit in it and you see how the seats and the legroom, it’s definitely full size. I mean, you can stretch out in that vehicle. It’s just comfortable.”
He adds, “Subaru bases all of their vehicles on one main platform. So the Crosstrek is not a compact vehicle in terms of it being a unique compact vehicle platform. It’s based on the same platform as the Subaru Ascent, our large eight-passenger vehicle.”
Technology That Keeps You Connected
The 2024 Crosstrek is well-equipped to meet the needs of tech-savvy Connecticut commuters. Blichfeldt explains, “The vehicles are Android and Apple CarPlay, Android Auto and Apple CarPlay, it’s all set up for the vehicle. The layout of the gauges, the instruments and everything. Your eye isn’t leaving the road.”
He adds, “The visibility, the glass area that we have in our vehicle from the windshield all the way back on the windows, there’s no blind spots. I mean, it’s just incredible visibility.”
Environmental Commitment
For environmentally conscious Connecticut commuters, Subaru’s commitment to sustainability is a big plus. Blichfeldt explains, “Subaru’s love promise extends beyond just loving people and all the causes that Subaru supports. Subaru loves the environment. So, you know, that’s our customer. You know, they’re bikers and skiers and joggers and, and kayakers and canoe and, and bird watching and everything that you could think of where the environment is so important to respect and value.”
Long-Term Reliability
When investing in a commuter vehicle, long-term reliability is crucial. Blichfeldt shares, “We have customers that have well over 200,000 miles on their Subarus and they still drive them and have no intention of trading them in because the car still drives like as new. So, you know, when it’s built so well from the beginning, that’s your most important thing.”
Why Connecticut Commuters Choose the Crosstrek
The 2024 Subaru Crosstrek Connecticut appeals to a wide range of Connecticut commuters. Blichfeldt shares, “We have customers from empty nesters to kids, you know, to, and I say kids, you know, young, you know, first time drivers, 16, 17 year old first time drivers. Parents realize how safe this vehicle is and that’s what they’re shopping for.”
He adds, “Kids see it and they love the way it looks. So they’re not even thinking about how safe it is or all the capability it has, they just think, wow, this vehicle looks cool and it really does.”
