The Subaru Crosstrek Wilderness is… a Subaru for trekking across the wilderness

This chunky little nugget is what Subaru calls the Crosstrek Wilderness – a ruggedised, off-roadish version of the Crosstrek SUV-cum-wagon thing. And, unless you’re American, you can’t have one.

Also, if you’re wondering what a Subaru Crosstrek is, wonder no longer: it’s the new global name for the XV, which is basically the smaller version of the Subaru Outback. It is also a decent candidate for the car most deserving of an extra helping of torque. But that might be beside the point a touch.
