The 2025 Subaru Crosstrek is now available for order, with updated pricing and specifications. The popular compact crossover/SUV has seen increased demand among fleet customers, attributed to the addition of a Power Driver's Seat and enhanced comfort and technology from last year’s redesign. All Crosstrek models include Subaru's standard Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive, emphasizing safety and security. The Crosstrek has received numerous accolades, such as being a Consumer Reports Top Pick, an IIHS Top Safety Pick for 12 consecutive years, and having the best resale value in its class. For the 2025 model year, most features carry over, but there are a few updates: a 2.5L engine is now standard on Premium trims and above, Daybreak Blue Pearl replaces Horizon Blue Pearl, and interior cloth has been slightly updated. The Base and Premium trims are built in Japan, while Sport, Wilderness, and Limited trims are manufactured in Indiana. Pricing and specifications are subject to change.
(CANADA) Shift in Consumer Preferences: Surge in Small Utility Vehicle Sales Amid Declines in Luxury and Large Pickup Markets
In the third quarter, Canadian buyers increasingly turned to small, affordable utility vehicles, with subcompact SUV sales rising by 27.8% and compact SUVs by 21.8%, as larger pickups and luxury SUVs saw significant declines. Overall new vehicle sales increased by 3.5% to 472,808 units, but inventory for subcompact and compact SUVs is in high demand, often selling within 22 days of arrival, compared to 74 days for full-size pickups. As vehicle prices continue to rise due to inflation, consumers are opting for more budget-friendly options, impacting the market dynamics. General Motors has notably benefited from this trend, with a 93.3% increase in Chevrolet Trax sales and profitability in entry-level segments, while luxury vehicle sales declined by 2.8%. Analysts suggest that the shift towards smaller, more affordable vehicles may signal a longer-term change in consumer preferences, particularly as high interest rates affect purchasing decisions. Scotiabank forecasts new vehicle sales to reach 1.78 million in 2024, with a slight recovery expected in 2025 as interest rates stabilize.
