Does the 2019 Subaru Crosstrek have a timing belt or chain?

The 2019 Subaru Crosstrek will come factory standard with a 2.0 L 4Cylinder engine across all trim levels. Subaru made no option to upgrade to any other type of motor. This engine is going to use a timing chain system. These timing chains are supposed to last the life of the vehicle. It is very unlikely that You'll ever need to have it replaced and the only reason You would is if there was major damage to the engine through a faulty part or an accident. If You need a full new chain kit including a new water pump You can expect to spend between $100 and $200.
