Outdoorsy Subaru Crosstrek Boost Gear concept headed to the Tokyo Auto Salon

Subaru has unveiled two of the concepts that it's bringing to the 2023 edition of the Tokyo Auto Salon. Based on the Crosstrek and the Rex, respectively, the Boost Gear-badged design studies receive numerous add-ons intended to make them more capable off the beaten path.

The annual Tokyo Auto Salon is like Japan's version of SEMA and the Crosstrek Boost Gear should fit right in. While official details haven't been released yet, we can tell that the Impreza-derived crossover stands a little taller than the regular-production model thanks in part to a lifted suspension system and meaty mud-terrain tires. It also gains a Crosstrek-branded piece of trim on the front end, additional cladding on the doors, side steps, and a two-tone paint job. The finishing touch is a Rhino-Rack roof rack with a wide LED light bar and an awning.
