Benefits of X-MODE®

The X-MODE® is a much-talked-about feature that comes standard on all Crosstrek models. When you activate the Subaru Crosstrek X-MODE®, enjoy peace of mind and driving with confidence knowing you are taking advantage of performance benefits like:

• 8.7 inches of ground clearance
• Automatic activation of Hill Descent Control when you need it
• Direct power to slipping wheels
• Enhanced performance of the traction control system
• Extra power delivered to the wheels that have a grip

How X-MODE® Works

X-MODE® increases the capabilities of numerous vehicle systems like:

• All Wheel Drive: Glenwood Springs drivers will get optimum traction and power from their AWD system when X-MODE® raises the front and rear coupling force.
• Engine Throttle: The X-MODE® system blocks the engine throttle from opening too quickly. Use a special setting and your Subaru will deliver torque more slowly at first and then come on stronger when needed.
• Hill Descent Control: Under 12 mph, this helps your vehicle maintain starting speed by managing the throttle and braking.
• Transmission: While X-MODE® is ON, the transmission will stay in a lower gear so you get better engine power.

Vehicle Dynamics Control System: Experience enhanced control to provide braking to a wheel that is slipping.
