The Subaru Wilderness at Patrick Subaru

Learn about Subaru Wilderness SUVs near Worcester, MA

With attributes like standard Symmetrical All-Wheel-Drive, X-MODE traction management, Hill Descent Control, and 8.7 inches of ground clearance, Subaru SUVs are already among the most adventure-ready SUVs in their respective segments. For outdoor enthusiasts who live to explore beyond the asphalt, Subaru Wilderness enhances those off-road prospects with specifically engineered equipment and tech to help you reach new places and bring you back home safely.

More than just a unique trim level, Subaru Wilderness is a dedicated adventure-seeking brand that started with the Outback in 2021, expanded to the Forester in 2022, and will arrive in the Crosstrek's lineup for its 2024 redesign. Recreation lovers from Worcester to Marlborough and beyond can find the latest Subaru Wilderness vehicles at Patrick Subaru in Shrewsbury. Here's a look at what each model has to offer.

Subaru Crosstrek Wilderness

The Subaru Crosstrek is an excellent choice for drivers seeking a rugged, comfortable, and versatile crossover with standard safety technologies and minimal space requirements. And in the Summer of 2023, the 2024 Crosstrek becomes the third member of the Subaru Wilderness family.

The Subaru Crosstrek Wilderness bolsters the subcompact SUVs capabilities with dual-function X-MODE, 9.3-inches of ground clearance, protective cladding, all-terrain tires, and a 182-horsepower BOXER engine capable of towing up to 3,500 pounds. It also features StarTex upholstery and reinforced roof rails with a 700-pound static load limit.

Subaru Outback Wilderness

Once designated the "World's First Sport Utility Wagon," the Subaru Outback played a pivotal role in the brand's transformation into the adventurous automaker we know today. The Wilderness trim represents the most significant evolution in the Outback's history since it was spun off the Legacy wagon into its own nameplate.

The Subaru Outback Wilderness is similarly equipped to its Forester sibling, including dual-function X-MODE, GEOLANDAR® tires, StarTex upholstery, a Front-View Monitor, and reinforced roof rails rated at 700 pounds. However, the Outback offers even more ground clearance (9.5 inches) and more potent performance from a 2.4-liter BOXER turbo-four with 260 horsepower and 277 pound-feet of torque.

Subaru Forester Wilderness

The Subaru Forester is renowned for its comfortable cabin, versatile utility, and rugged character. It offers more ground clearance than most in its class and is one of the few segment competitors with standard AWD. Subaru's Wilderness treatment takes the compact crossover's trail-going capability to the next level.

Subaru's signature Symmetrical All-Wheel-Drive system is at the heart of Wilderness, featuring a uniquely balanced design for optimal weight distribution and confident stability over a wide range of surfaces. The advanced Dual Function X-MODE system enhances surefootedness in low-traction situations and includes additional settings for snow, deep snow, dirt, and mud. Re-tuned suspension and reworked bumper designs provide improved approach and departure angles and 9.2 inches of ground clearance-more than the Toyota RAV4 TRD Off-Road and Jeep Cherokee Trailhawk®. The 17-inch matte-black alloy wheels are wrapped in Yokohama GEOLANDAR® all-terrain tires and include a full-size spare wheel and tire in the cargo area. Power comes from a 2.5-liter BOXER engine (182 horsepower, 176 pound-feet of torque) that allows the Forester Wilderness to tow up to 3,500 pounds.

Interior/Exterior Dimensions

The most significant difference between Subaru's three Wilderness models is their size. Here's a quick look at some of the stats:

  • Crosstrek Wilderness: The Crosstrek is a subcompact crossover measuring 176.4" L x 71.7" W x 63.6" H. Front/rear headroom measures 39.8 / 38.0 inches, while front/rear legroom measures 42.9/36.5 inches.

  • Forester Wilderness: The Forester is a compact crossover measuring 182.7" L x 72.2" W x 68.9" H. Front/rear headroom measures 40.2 / 37.6 inches, while front/rear legroom measures 43.3/39.4 inches.

Cargo Capacity

With all seats in use, the Crosstrek Wilderness retains 20 cubic feet for your gear or groceries behind the rear seats. When your adventures require more carrying capacity, you can fold the rear seats for 54.9 cubic feet. The Forester Wilderness has 26.9 cubic feet of cargo space, expandable to 69.1 with the rear seats folded. The Outback Wilderness has the most of the three, with 32.6 cubic feet behind the second row and 75.6 cubes behind the first.

Performance

Subaru Crosstrek and Forester Wilderness models are set in motion by a 2.5-liter four-cylinder BOXER engine that sends 182 horsepower and 178 pound-feet of torque to all four wheels through a Lineartronic® CVT.

If you want more under-the-hood motivation for your outdoor adventures, consider the Outback Wilderness. It upgrades to a turbocharged 2.4-liter BOXER engine with 260 horsepower and 277 pound-feet of torque.
