The idea is to tweak the odd - numbered models more toward a SUV DNA by adding more ground clearance, all - season tires, go -
anywhere body cladding, bespoke bumpers, and adventure - oriented trim levels.
Despite its clunky name, the premise for the 2013 Subaru XV Crosstrek is a fairly simple one: Subaru takes the basic Impreza five - door formula, injects it with a bit more go -
anywhere ability, juices up its appearance with some kicky colors, cool wheels and rugged
body cladding, and calls the whole thing a compact crossover.
