The first-ever Subaru hybrid vehicle will be the Subaru XV Crosstrek Hybrid
Subaru built their own hybrid system for the 2014 XV Crosstrek Hybrid, without relying on technology from existing hybrid models. The transmission, while based on the Continuously Variable Transmission (CVT), was developed exclusively for the hybrid model.
The hybrid version of the Subaru XV Crosstrek will more or less be the same as its non-hybrid sibling, just with better fuel economy, less of a footprint, and no loss of power with its 13.4 horsepower and 48lb ft of torque.
As Subaru says, "wherever you go, you can feel good about how you get there." The XV Crosstrek Hybrid is expected to arrive at dealerships late fall of 2013. Stay updated by checking up on our 2014 Subaru XV Crosstrek page here!
