Crosstrek Like a Canadian

Blog Apr 15th, 2025

At Ogilvie Subaru, we know that a true Canadian adventure doesn’t stop when the seasons change—it only gets better. The Subaru Crosstrek is the perfect companion for outdoor enthusiasts who want to explore everything from Ottawa’s scenic backroads to the rugged landscapes of Quebec and beyond. With unmatched all-season performance, top-tier safety features, and the ability to handle any terrain, the Crosstrek is built for those who refuse to let the weather dictate their plans. 

Built for the Canadian Way of Life 

Ottawa and the surrounding region offer countless opportunities for adventure, and the Crosstrek is ready for them all. Whether it’s: 

  • Catching sunrise over Pink Lake in Gatineau Park, just a short drive from downtown 
  • Hitting the backroads of the Ottawa Valley for fall foliage and hidden waterfalls 
  • Driving up to Mont-Tremblant for a weekend of skiing or mountain biking 
  • Exploring the Thousand Islands for a summer road trip 

With Subaru’s Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive and up to 220mm of ground clearance, the Crosstrek is more than capable of handling everything from snowy trails to gravel backroads. 

Upgrade Your Crosstrek for the Ultimate Adventure 

A great adventure vehicle deserves the right accessories. At Ogilvie Subaru, we offer a range of genuine Subaru accessories to customize your Crosstrek for any journey. Whether you’re gearing up for a weekend camping trip, a backcountry photography mission, or just want to be prepared for Ottawa’s unpredictable weather, we’ve got you covered.
