When we started our yearlong test of the 2024 Subaru Crosstrek Wilderness, our arrival story noted automakers’ propensity for appealing to emotion to sell products. The Crosstrek in general and Wilderness trim in particular, we suggested, put forth a strong appeal toward fantasies of exploration, those moments of longing in between the monotony of everyday life. After living with it for a year, however, our conclusion isn’t based on emotion. Rather, we’re left with a thought born of cold rationality: This is a phenomenal little SUV.
