2023 Subaru Baja ST-X Rumors, Changes, Interior – You were probably at the 2000 Los Angeles Auto Show if you remember the 1999 Subaru Baja ST-X pickup. The Subaru Baja ST-X was a concept vehicle that by no means managed to get to creation. Subaru did build the Baja in late August of 2002 as a 2003 model, but it was a watered-down version of the Baja ST-X pickup. If Subaru resurrected the Baja ST-X turbo pickup, you would buy it now.
The Baja ST-X concept got a turbocharged four-cylinder Boxer engine, in contrast to the Baja got a 2.5-liter normally-aspirated Boxer engine. What different set the number of-door Baja ST-X (Subaru Truck Xperimental) away from each other was its extendable cargo bed with a switchback design. In addition, it sported a Solar power Flare Orange paint.
2023 Subaru Baja ST-X The Design
The Baja ST-X got a rear seat that flattened forward, and a huge rear window launched to your bed of the compact truck. The retracting rear windows would slip into and out of a top section of the rear seatback when the seat is at an upright position. There was also a hinged door among the rear finish of the person cab and the cargo bed furniture.
Picture a new 2023 Subaru Baja ST-X with a comparable design, based upon the 2022 Crosstrek compact SUV powered by an FA24 2.4-liter turbocharged Boxer engine. The 2.4-liter turbocharged several-tube Boxer would come mated to a shut-ratio 6-velocity manual gearbox or even a non-obligatory Subaru Performance Transmission (CVT) presented in the 2022 WRX.
The 2023 Subaru Baja ST-X would also come with additional soil clearance and twin-operate X-Function for off-road activities. The interior might have a solar power flare orange clip around the dash and seats, and a middle console like the concept pickup at the LA Auto Show in 2000.
In 2000, Subaru of America pitched the Baja ST-X concept as “the supreme manifestation of the Subaru manufacturer fact; fun, adventure, freedom and confidence and control.”
The 2023 Subaru Baja ST-X would likely be a major struck with compact pickup and adventure enthusiasts. It’s now time for Subaru to bring it back, although the 1999 Subaru Baja ST-X pickup was ahead of its time.
Would you buy a 2023 Subaru Baja ST-X compact pickup base on the 2022 Crosstrek if Subaru of America offered it this year?
YES! I WOULD BUY A 2023 Subaru BAJA, but PLEASE, NOT THAT COLOR!
