It’s no secret that Subaru owners like to take things to the extreme. The all-new Wilderness models are designed to help take owners farther on their most rugged adventures. But what are the features of the Wilderness models and which is right for you? Keep reading to learn more about these new models with Mid-Hudson Subaru.
What Are The Subaru Wilderness Models?
Subaru has added all-terrain upgrades and off-road tuning to the new Wilderness lineup available on the 2024 Subaru Crosstrek, 2024 Forester, and 2024 Outback. A Wilderness vehicle is the best option for your offroad adventures. As with all Subarus, you can count on best-in-class reliability, safety, durability, and dependability. What sets these models apart from their non-wilderness counterparts? Let’s dive into the unique features.
Subaru Wilderness Features and Benefits
In addition to the off-road capabilities of every Wilderness model, you will also find the latest in-cabin technology and a stylish exterior. The all-terrain upgrades on Wilderness models can help you go farther and explore more. Highlights include:
- Standard symmetrical all-wheel drive
- 9 inches (or more) of ground clearance
- All-terrain tires
- Enhanced dual-function X-Mode®, with settings for snow/dirt and deep snow/mud
- Revised gear ratios
- Redesigned bumpers for steeper climbing and a retuned suspension for tougher trails
- StarTex® water-resistant upholstery to withstand all of the elements
- Upgraded roof rails that can carry more weight, and even support a rooftop tent
- Protective materials on rear seats that fold easily in different combinations to support cargo and passengers
Which Wilderness Model is Right for You?
You can’t go wrong with a Subaru Crosstrek, Subaru Forester, or Subaru Outback, but each has unique characteristics that may better suit your individual needs and style.
The 2024 Subaru Crosstrek Wilderness has 9.3-inch ground clearance, symmetrical all-wheel drive, a 182-horsepower SUBARU BOXER® engine, and improved gearing to climb trails. It can tow a boat, bikes, and other equipment up to 3,500 pounds. The roof rails can support up to 700 pounds for bikes, kayaks, gear, or even a rooftop tent. The Crosstrek is a vehicle that truly holds up over time- 97% of Crosstreks sold in the last 10 years are still on the road today.
The 2024 Subaru Forester Wilderness has a 9.2-inch ground clearance, a balanced design for better stability, and maximum traction on challenging trails or slippery weather conditions. Enhanced Dual X-MODE® is upgraded and returned with settings for snow, dirt, mud, and deep snow. It can tow up to 3,000 pounds, which is more than the Ford Bronco Sport Badlands. On the inside the Forester Wilderness offers 60/40 split fold-down rear seats to accommodate passengers and cargo.
The 2024 Subaru Outback Wilderness is the first member of the Wilderness family and pushes the capability and versatility of the Outback even further. It has the highest ground clearance of all Wilderness vehicles at 9.5 inches for the roughest terrains. It can also tow up to 3,500 pounds for all of your gear. A new feature of the 2024 Outback Wilderness is the Harman Kardon premium audio system with enhanced sound control and superior high-sound output.
Why Subaru?
There are several great reasons to choose a new Subaru. If safety is top of mind in your search for a new vehicle, Subaru leads the industry in safety breakthroughs. The advanced airbag system coupled with a lower-sitting engine works together to protect passengers in the event of a collision. Features like EyeSight Driver Assist and DriverFocus are just a few additional ways Subaru works to protect you on the road.
Subarus are also built to last. In fact, 96% of Subarus sold in the last 10 years are still on the road today- more than Toyota or Honda.
Finally, Subaru is committed to making the world a better place. The Subaru Love Promise is the partnership between Subaru and the communities they serve to support local education, environmental services, healthcare, pets, and community efforts. Since 2008 and the Subaru Share the Love Event, Subaru and local dealerships have donated more than $256 million to charities.
