Subaru XV or Subaru Impreza The XV is a compact crossover based on the third-generation Impreza five-door hatchback. Crossover XV has been produced since 2011.
Subaru XV history
XV for Subaru has become a symbol of a new approach to car creation. The concept of the same name was first demonstrated in April 2011 at the Shanghai Auto Show. In the same year, the production model XV was presented at the Frankfurt Motor Show.
Euro NCAP tests have demonstrated the highest level of crossover safety
The new approach, according to the developers of Subaru, is to create a car that is equally successful in terms of both functionality and style. At the same time, the company's phenomenal achievements in technologies for creating all-wheel drive were supposed to provide the new model with near-ideal handling, which was demonstrated when the XV became available to buyers.
Thanks to the original appearance, unusual colors and successful design, the car received high marks from critics and consumers, and tests carried out by Euro NCAP demonstrated the highest level of crossover safety.
Subaru XV technical features
Currently, there are three modifications of the crossover - two with a liter and one with a two-liter opposed diesel engine.
An innovative boxer diesel engine developed by Subaru deserves special interest.
In addition to the standard six-speed manual transmission and five-speed automatic transmission, the XV is equipped with a continuously variable Lineartronic variator, which reduces fuel consumption.
Subaru XV engine
The Subaru XV is fitted with the latest generation. The new FB series motors are based on the company's vast experience in the design of boxer engines.
The use of new technologies has made it possible to achieve a reduction in friction in operation piston group and, and an improved injection system in combination with modified intake and exhaust valves allows you to burn fuel with maximum efficiency. The pistons and connecting rods are cast from light alloys, which affects the overall weight of the engine. The combustion chamber is smaller and the compression ratio is higher. In addition, computer simulations made it possible to achieve a close-to-ideal arrangement of the injectors, which also affects the combustion of fuel and reduces the level of harmful substances emitted into the atmosphere.
The innovative boxer diesel engine created by Subaru deserves special interest (the modification with Boxer Diesel DOHC is not yet supplied to Russia).
The two-liter boxer turbodiesel is compact, balanced and capable of efficient acceleration due to optimized injection performance and powerful torque at low revs common to all diesel units. In addition to increased efficiency, the XV version with Boxer Diesel is currently a crossover with the most low level harmful emissions in its class.
Continuously variable transmission Lineartronic
Application - the most "responsive" of all types of transmission - made it possible to effectively use the speed of the engine response to pressing the gas. The use of a continuously variable transmission contributes to the constant operation of the engine at optimal load conditions.
Subaru has managed to make the normally bulky gearbox assembly light and compact.
The all-wheel drive system matches the level of the innovative transmission. Thanks to the adaptive electronic control, the torque distribution between the axles is constantly changing in accordance with the current road situation. The company calls this technology Symmetrical AWD.
In a frontal collision, the force is distributed within the structure so that the passenger compartment is not subject to deformation
The front suspension of the Subaru XV is tuned to sport riding and maximum controllability. Independent rear suspension double wishbone works in unison with the front, increasing rear axle traction and traction.
Pros and cons of Subaru XV
One of the most noticeable development trends in comparison with previous models is the thoughtfulness of the vehicle's security system. An innovation in the creation of the body was the reinforcing elements used in the structure of the nose of the car. According to calculations, in a frontal collision, the impact force is distributed within the structure so that the part of the body in which people are located does not deform. The entire body structure is subject to this principle.
In the side sections, reinforcements are used to reduce the degree of deformation in a side impact, so that the driver's body does not move in the event of a collision. Even the rear doors of the crossover are equipped with two amplifiers instead of one. In the construction of the entire "salon" part, metal sheets with increased tensile strength are used.
The rear part of the body, like the front, is calculated in such a way as to prevent deformation of the interior.
There is a large amount of foamed energy-absorbing substance, which serves for the primary shock absorption.
The driver and passenger seats are designed with the same principles in mind. Their design is such that the movement of the bodies of passengers upon impact develops in a calculated direction, which reduces the risk of serious injuries to the neck and back. The front passenger airbag has a special fold that catches the head and protects the neck from impact.
In addition to the front and side airbags, the XV uses airbags for the knees of the driver and passenger in front, as well as state-of-the-art airbags on the waistband of the rear passengers' seat belts.
Another plus of the model is the use of unusual bright colors in the coating. Colors such as Electro Yellowgreen combined with original unusual alloy wheels provide XV the attention of others.
In XV found application of all research in the field of computer systems management, which Subaru has attached great importance to in recent years. For example, equipped with two laser sensors and stereo cameras that display an image on an LCD monitor, it is able to help the driver in many traffic situations, warning of the occurrence of danger within the radius of action.
Figures and awards
Subaru XV received the highest rating - "5 stars" - after safety tests under the European New Car Test Program (Euro NCAP).

At low engine speeds, high torque is delivered and acceleration is fast and linear.
To date, the Russian market is supplied with Subaru models equipped with only gasoline engine.
Subaru XV engine features
A new, lighter, more compact and more environmentally friendly CVT "Lineartronic" has been developed for the Subaru XV. By combining new transmission with a new engine, the Subaru XV offers excellent handling and maintains low consumption fuel.
Security
Subaru XV earned the highest 5-star rating in safety tests under the European New Car Assessment Program (Euro NCAP). The use of high tensile steel sheets in the body shell has resulted in a reduction in weight. This model has one of the lightest bodies in its class, and offers classic strength, in particular increased bending stiffness.
The driver's foot slope has been made thicker than previous models to increase durability and protect the driver from pedaling backwards in the event of a collision. Reinforcement elements are used at the base of the A-pillar to increase the strength of the connection between the A-pillar and the upper frame. This ensures that the impact energy from a frontal collision is efficiently transferred from the frame to the strut. This feature offers a high level of safety in terms of crash protection. High-strength elements are used in the sidewalls of the car, where there are few deformable zones. This helps to minimize body deformation in the event of a side collision. Transition to double girder structure for back door helped to limit the level of deformation of the panel around the outside door handle, increasing occupant protection in the event of a side collision.
The rear of the chassis is designed to distribute rearward collision energy evenly to the left and right with diagonal elements, helping to minimize deformation of the passenger compartment. In line with the new Euro NCAP protocol, Subaru has increased the foam energy absorbing element and the lower center bumper bracket.
Inheriting the new seat design of the Subaru Legacy, the seats are designed to limit the severity of neck injuries and to gently guide passengers in the event of a collision. The front passenger airbag is folded in the center so that the passenger's neck is subject to less impact when it is deployed. The airbag structure has also been optimized to reduce weight. The structure of the side cushions has been designed to reduce the severity of injuries in unusual situations such as when a child is leaning towards a door.
Subaru XV is equipped with large airbags that can protect the waist of passengers, increasing their level of safety. Also introduced are airbags for the driver's knees. By expanding the protection zone, the curtain airbags support a wider range of shapes and seating positions for passengers.
Subaru is actively working on the creation of environmentally friendly vehicles. The result of the work of Japanese engineers is perhaps the most economical Subaru XV Crosstrek Hybrid.

An excerpt characterizing the Subaru XV
- Yes, he is a pleasant young man ... Why are you asking me this? - said Princess Marya, continuing to think about her morning conversation with her father.- Because I made an observation - a young man usually from St. Petersburg comes to Moscow on vacation only with the aim of marrying a rich bride.
- You made this observation! - said Princess Marya.
“Yes,” Pierre continued with a smile, “and this young man now behaves in such a way that where there are rich brides, he is there too. I read it like a book. He is now undecided who to attack him: you or Mademoiselle Julie Karagin. Il est tres assidu aupres d "elle. [He is very attentive to her.]
- Does he go to them?
- Very often. And do you know a new way of courting? - Pierre said with a cheerful smile, apparently being in that cheerful spirit of good-natured mockery for which he so often reproached himself in his diary.
“No,” said Princess Marya.
- Now, to please the Moscow girls - il faut etre melancolique. Et il est tres melancolique aupres de m lle Karagin, [you have to be melancholic. And he is very melancholy with m elle Karagin,] - said Pierre.
- Vraiment? [Right?] - said Princess Marya, looking into Pierre's kind face and never ceasing to think about her grief. “It would be easier for me, she thought, if I decided to believe everything I feel to someone. And I would like to tell Pierre everything. He is so kind and noble. It would be easier for me. He would give me advice! "
- Would you marry him? Pierre asked.
“Oh, my God, Count, there are such moments that I would go for anyone,” Princess Marya suddenly said, unexpectedly for herself, with tears in her voice. - Oh, how hard it is to love a loved one and feel that ... nothing (she continued in a trembling voice), you can do for him except grief, when you know that you cannot change it. Then one thing is to leave, but where should I go? ...
- What are you, what is wrong with you, princess?
But the princess, without finishing, burst into tears.
“I don’t know what’s the matter with me today. Don't listen to me, forget what I told you.
All Pierre's gaiety disappeared. He anxiously questioned the princess, asked her to express everything, to trust him with her grief; but she only repeated that she was asking him to forget what she had said, that she did not remember what she had said, and that she had no grief other than that which he knew - grief that the marriage of Prince Andrey threatened to embroil her father with son.
- Have you heard about the Rostovs? She asked to change the conversation. - I was told that they will soon be. I also wait for Andre every day. I would like them to see each other here.
- And how does he look at this case now? - asked Pierre, by he meaning the old prince. Princess Marya shook her head.
- But what to do? Only a few months remain until a year. And it can't be. I would only wish to save my brother from the first minutes. I wish they would come sooner. I hope to get along with her. You have known them for a long time, - said Princess Marya, - tell me, honestly, the whole truth, who is this girl and how do you find her? But the whole truth; because, you know, Andrei risks so much, doing it against his father's will, that I would like to know ...
An obscure instinct told Pierre that in these reservations and repeated requests to tell the whole truth, Princess Marya's hostility towards her future daughter-in-law was expressed, that she wanted Pierre not to approve of Prince Andrew's choice; but Pierre said what he felt rather than thought.
“I don’t know how to answer your question,” he said, blushing, not knowing why. - I absolutely do not know what kind of girl she is; I cannot analyze it in any way. She is charming. And why, I don't know: that's all there is to say about her. - Princess Marya sighed and the expression on her face said: "Yes, I expected this and was afraid."
- Is she smart? - asked Princess Marya. Pierre pondered.
- I think not, - he said, - but yes. She does not deign to be smart ... No, she is charming, and nothing else. Princess Marya again shook her head disapprovingly.
- Oh, I so desire to love her! Tell her this if you see her before me.
- I heard that they will be one of these days, - said Pierre.
Princess Marya told Pierre her plan about how she, the Rostovs had just arrived, would get closer to her future daughter-in-law and try to accustom the old prince to her.
Boris did not succeed in marrying a rich bride in St. Petersburg, and he came to Moscow for the same purpose. In Moscow, Boris was in indecision between the two richest brides - Julie and Princess Marya. Although Princess Marya, despite her ugliness, seemed to him more attractive than Julie, for some reason he was embarrassed to look after Bolkonskaya. On her last meeting with her, on the name day of the old prince, to all his attempts to talk to her about feelings, she answered him inappropriately and obviously did not listen to him.
Julie, on the contrary, although in a special, her own way, willingly accepted his courting.
Julie was 27 years old. After the death of her brothers, she became very rich. She was now completely ugly; but I thought that she was not only just as good, but even more attractive than she was before. In this delusion, she was supported by the fact that, firstly, she became a very rich bride, and secondly, the older she became, the safer she was for men, the freer it was for men to treat her and, without taking on any obligations, enjoy her dinners, evenings and the lively company that gathered at her place. A man who ten years ago would have been afraid to go every day to the house where there was a 17-year-old young lady, so as not to compromise her and not tie himself, now went to her boldly every day and treated her not as a young lady, but as with an acquaintance who has no gender.
The Karagins' house was the most pleasant and hospitable house in Moscow this winter. In addition to parties and dinners, every day a large company gathered at the Karagins, especially men, who dined at 12 o'clock in the morning and stayed up until 3 o'clock. There was no ball, festivities, theater, which Julie would have missed. Her toilets were always the most fashionable. But, despite this, Julie seemed disappointed in everything, told everyone that she did not believe in friendship, or in love, or in any joys of life, and expects reassurance only there. She assimilated the tone of a girl who had suffered great disappointment, a girl who seemed to have lost a loved one or was cruelly deceived by him. Although nothing like this happened to her, they looked at her as such, and she herself even believed that she had suffered a lot in life. This melancholy, which did not prevent her from having fun, did not prevent the young people who had visited her to have a good time. Each guest, coming to them, gave his debt to the melancholy mood of the hostess and then engaged in social talk, and dances, and mental games, and burime tournaments, which were in vogue with the Karagins. Only a few young people, among whom was Boris, went deeper into Julie's melancholy mood, and with these young people she had longer and more solitary conversations about the futility of everything worldly, and to them she opened her albums, covered with sad images, sayings and poems.
Julie was especially affectionate to Boris: she regretted his early disappointment in life, offered him the consolations of friendship that she could offer, having suffered so much in life herself, and opened her album for him. Boris drew two trees for her in an album and wrote: Arbres rustiques, vos sombres rameaux secouent sur moi les tenebres et la melancolie. [Country trees, your dark branches shake off gloom and melancholy on me.]

An excerpt characterizing the Subaru XV
- I will stay with them, if you, of course, will allow me.We jumped up together and turned around - this was the man saved by Maria spoke ... But we somehow completely forgot about him.
- How are you feeling? - I asked as friendly as possible.
I honestly did not wish harm to this unfortunate, rescued stranger at such a dear price. It was not his fault, and Stella and I knew it perfectly well. But the terrible bitterness of the loss still covered my eyes with anger, and although I knew that it was very, very unfair to him, I could not get myself together and push this terrible pain out of myself, leaving it "for later" when I completely alone, and, closing myself "in my corner", I can give vent to bitter and very heavy tears ... And I was also very afraid that the stranger would somehow feel my "rejection", and thus his release would lose that importance and beauty victory over evil, in the name of which my friends died ... Therefore, I tried with all my strength to gather myself and, smiling as sincerely as possible, waited for an answer to my question.
The man looked around sadly, apparently not quite understanding what happened here, and what was happening to him all this time ...
- Well, where am I? .. - voice hoarse with excitement, he asked quietly. “What is this place, so awful? It doesn't sound like what I remember ... Who are you?
- We are friends. And you are absolutely right - this is not a very pleasant place ... And a little further the places are generally scary to savagery. Our friend lived here, he died ...
- I'm sorry, little ones. How did your friend die?
“You killed him,” Stella whispered sadly.
I froze, staring at my girlfriend ... This was not the one I know very well, "sunny" Stella, who "without fail" felt sorry for everyone, and would never make anyone suffer! .. But, apparently, the pain of loss, like me, it caused her an unconscious feeling of anger "at everyone and everything", and the baby was not yet able to control this in herself.
- Me?! .. - exclaimed the stranger. - But it can't be true! I've never killed anyone! ..
We felt that he was speaking the pure truth, and we knew that we had no right to shift the blame on him. Therefore, without even saying a word, we smiled together and immediately tried to quickly explain what really happened here.
For a long time, a person was in a state of absolute shock ... Apparently, everything he heard sounded wild to him, and certainly did not coincide with what he really was, and how he treated such a terrible evil that did not fit into normal human frames ...
- How can I compensate for all this?! .. I just can't? And how to live with this ?! .. - he grabbed his head ... - How many have I killed, tell me! .. Can anyone say that? And your friends? Why did they do this? But why?!!!..
- So that you can live as you should ... As you wanted ... And not as someone wanted ... To kill the Evil that killed others. Because, probably ... - Stella said sadly.
- Forgive me, darlings ... Forgive ... If you can ... - the man looked completely killed, and I was suddenly "pricked" by a very bad feeling ...
- Well, I do not! - I exclaimed indignantly. - Now you must live! Do you want to nullify all their sacrifice ?! Don't even think about it! Now you will do good instead of them! It will be right. And "leaving" is the easiest thing. And now you no longer have such a right.
The stranger stared at me in a daze, apparently not expecting such a violent outburst of "righteous" indignation. And then he smiled sadly and said quietly:
- How did you love them! .. Who are you, girl?
My throat was very tight and for a while I could not squeeze out a word. It was very painful because of such a heavy loss, and, at the same time, it was sad for this "restless" person, who will be oh, how difficult it is to exist with such a burden ...
- I'm Svetlana. And this is Stella. We're just walking around here. We visit friends or help someone when we can. True, there are no friends left now ...
- Forgive me, Svetlana. Although for sure it will not change anything if I ask you for forgiveness every time ... What happened happened, and I cannot change anything. But I can change what will happen, right? - the man glared at me with his eyes blue like the sky and, smiling, a woeful smile, said: - And yet ... You say, I am free in my choice? .. But it turns out - not so free, dear .. Rather, it looks like an atonement ... With which I agree, of course. But it’s your choice that I am obliged to live for your friends. Due to the fact that they gave their lives for me .... But I did not ask for this, did I? .. Therefore, it is not my choice ...
I looked at him, completely dumbfounded, and instead of "proud indignation", ready to immediately escape my lips, I gradually began to understand what he was talking about ... No matter how strange or offensive it may sound - but all this was sincerely true! Even if I didn't like it at all ...
Yes, it hurt me a lot for my friends, for the fact that I will never see them again ... that I will no longer conduct our wonderful, "eternal" conversations with my friend Luminary, in his strange cave filled with light and warmth ... that the funny places found by Dean will not be shown to us by the laughing Maria, and her laughter will not sound like a cheerful bell ... And it was especially painful that this completely unfamiliar person would now live instead of them ...
But, again, on the other hand, he did not ask us to interfere ... He did not ask us to die for him. Didn't want to take someone's life. And now he will have to live with this heavy burden, trying to "pay" with his future actions the guilt, which was not really his fault ... Rather, it was the fault of that terrible, unearthly creature, stranger, killed "right and left."
But it was certainly not his fault ...
How could one decide who was right and who was wrong, if the same truth was on both sides? .. And, no doubt, to me - a confused ten-year-old girl - life seemed at that moment too complicated and too many-sided to be somehow decide only between "yes" and "no" ... Since in each of our actions there were too many different sides and opinions, and it seemed incredibly difficult to find the right answer that would be correct for everyone ...
- Do you remember anything at all? Who were you? What is your name? How long have you been here? - to get away from a delicate and unpleasant topic, I asked.
The stranger thought for a moment.
- My name was Arno. And I only remember how I lived there on Earth. And I remember how I "left" ... I died, didn't I? And after that I can't remember anything else, although I would very much like to ...
- Yes, you "left" ... Or died, if you like it better. But I'm not sure if this is your world. I think you should dwell on the "floor" above. This is the world of "crippled" souls ... Those who killed someone or hurt someone greatly, or even simply deceived and lied a lot. This is a terrible world, probably the one that people call Hell.
- And where, then, are you here? How could you get here? - Arno was surprised.
- It's a long story. But this really is not our place ... Stella lives at the very top. Well, I'm still on Earth ...
- How - on Earth ?! He asked, stunned. - It means - are you still alive? .. But how did you end up here? And in such horror?
The appearance of this model was preceded by the debut of the Impreza XV. A year later, the Japanese manufacturer radically finalized the model, giving it more off-road qualities, and singled out the XV as an independent model, removing the Impreza prefix.
The production Subaru XV model was presented in Frankfurt on September 13, 2012. The car has become noticeably larger and more brutal than the Impreza XV. It is based on the platform from the Impreza, but the crossover is much larger than the hatchback in size. The length has grown to 4.45 meters, the width is up to 1.78 meters, and the height is up to 1.57 meters. The wheelbase of the car is 2635 mm. High ground clearance (22 cm) complements the picture.
Subaru XV is a crossover that combines outstanding appearance and functionality. The exterior is made in the corporate style of the brand. Attention is drawn to the aggressive look of the front of the car, formed by the now branded radiator grille in the form of a hexagon with chrome-plated "wings" and intricate headlights. Japanese designers and engineers managed to harmoniously combine the off-road practicality of the crossover (with its short overhangs, raised bumpers and a plastic body kit around the perimeter) and a sporty spirit (expressed in a large angle of inclination of the windshield, a sloping roof shape that flows into the rear spoiler).
While developing the interior, Subaru specialists did not become wise, and therefore, the XV almost completely repeats the interior of the Impreza hatchback. In a word, the interior of the car is very commonplace. In the center dashboard an information display is located, displaying data on the operation of the main components and assemblies. The center console received a large color touchscreen, embodying the functions of the navigation system and the multimedia center. The image of external cameras is also projected here.
The luggage compartment cannot be called roomy, only 310 liters. It is saved by the fact that the rear sofa folds out into a flat floor, which increases the trunk volume to 570 liters. You can limit yourself to folding only one half of the sofa.
The model has exceptional driving characteristics and economical fuel consumption. The range of engines consists of three units: two petrol 1.6 and 2.0 liters with 115 and 150 hp. respectively, and a 2.0 liter turbodiesel with a capacity of 147 hp. The latter is characterized by high rigidity, smoothness, low weight, compact design, quick response to pressing the accelerator pedal with a high level of torque even at low crankshaft speeds, low carbon dioxide emissions and increased efficiency.
A car with a 2.0 liter gasoline engine has a top speed of 187 km / h, and with a turbodiesel - 198 km / h, and equipped with a 1.6 liter - 179 (175 - for the variator) km / h.
For the Russian market, Subaru XV is offered with two engines, 1.6 and 2.0 liters, 114 and 150 horsepower. The first is offered in tandem with either a 5-speed mechanical box transmissions, or with a continuously variable "variator" Lineartronic, the second engine - either with a 6-speed manual transmission or with the same Lineartronic.
The new Lineartronic CVT is, according to Subaru, "an innovative engineering development." The main feature of the variator is the installation of a chain for transmitting torque between the two variator pulleys. This solution increased the efficiency by about 5% compared to the belt design. In addition, by optimizing the position of the shafts and other main internal components, the continuously variable transmission has turned out to be more compact and lighter, which has led to an improvement in all key indicators: reduced fuel consumption, improved ride and feedback.
There are MacPherson struts in the front, double wishbones in the back. Disc brakes are installed on all four wheels, with the front pair being ventilated. Naturally, there is a proprietary system of symmetrical AWD all-wheel drive. Depending on the transmission, the all-wheel drive is based on either a multi-plate clutch with electronic control or viscous coupling with center and self-locking differential. Vehicles with CVTs use an electronically controlled multi-plate clutch that distributes torque in a 60:40 ratio. The transmission control unit reacts to driving conditions such as acceleration, hill climbing, cornering, and adjusts the torque distribution between the front and rear wheels in real time. For example, when front wheel slip is detected, the system increases the proportion of torque distributed to the rear wheels, thereby providing significant tractive effort.
The model has a high level of safety and received a maximum rating of "5 stars" in the tests of the European New Car Assessment Program (Euro NCAP) in 2011. The use of high tensile steel sheets in the body shell has resulted in a reduction in weight. This model has one of the lightest bodies in its class, and offers classic strength, in particular increased bending stiffness.
The driver's foot slope has been made thicker than previous models to increase durability and protect the driver from pedaling backwards in the event of a collision. Reinforcement elements are used at the base of the A-pillar to increase the strength of the connection between the A-pillar and the upper frame. This ensures that the impact energy from a frontal collision is efficiently transferred from the frame to the strut. This feature offers a high level of safety in terms of crash protection. High-strength elements are used in the sidewalls of the car, where there are few deformable zones. This helps to minimize body deformation in the event of a side collision. The move to a double-beam structure for the tailgate helped to limit the level of deformation of the panel around the outside door handle, increasing occupant protection in the event of a side collision.
The rear of the chassis is designed to distribute rearward collision energy evenly to the left and right with diagonal elements, helping to minimize deformation of the passenger compartment. In line with the new Euro NCAP protocol, Subaru has increased the foam energy absorbing element and the lower center bumper bracket.
Inheriting the new seat design of the Subaru Legacy, the seats are designed to limit the severity of neck injuries and to gently guide passengers in the event of a collision. The developers have not forgotten about the airbags either - in the Subaru XV there is a complete set of them: front, side, curtains, driver's track airbag. Moreover, the front airbags have a so-called double structure - a bend in the center, so that the passenger's neck is exposed to less impact when deployed. But that's not all: the front cushions open first in width, and then in volume, which excludes the possibility of a person's head slipping to the side during its deployment. Also introduced are airbags for the driver's knees. By expanding the protection zone, the curtain airbags support a wider range of shapes and seating positions for passengers.

As conceived by the developers, the Subaru XV was supposed to be a combination of functionality, style and ride comfort.
The original appearance and undeniable advantages of this crossover have made it highly appreciated all over the world among its class. The model has a high level of safety and received a maximum rating of "5 stars" in the tests of the European New Car Assessment Program (Euro NCAP) in 2011. Also, the Euro NCAP committee awarded Subaru XV an award in 2012 and 2017 for the best safety performance in the Small Family Car class.
The lineup
Subaru XV is equipped with three engines:
- 1.6i
- 2.0i
- 2.0D
- 2.0i hybrid
At low engine speeds, high torque is delivered and acceleration is fast and linear.
To date, Subaru models equipped with only a gasoline engine are supplied to the Russian market.
Subaru XV engine features
A new, lighter, more compact and more environmentally friendly CVT "Lineartronic" has been developed for the Subaru XV. By combining a new transmission with a new engine, the Subaru XV offers excellent handling and low fuel consumption.
