The Subaru XV was developed under the concept of “Urban Adventure” as a new type of crossover vehicle featuring a sporty and casual design. The XV projects the unique value Subaru aims to bring to the C-segment crossover market. With overall proportions conveying a sense of stylishness and lightness, the XV design also displays the confident presence of a crossover vehicle. Its superior drive performance and fuel efficiency are warranted by the Subaru’s next generation power unit and Subaru core technologies – the symmetrical All-Wheel-Drive and advanced Subaru Dynamic Chassis Control Concept – making the XV incredibly safe and secure to drive. Subaru has made it possible to truly provide “Enjoyment and Peace of Mind” as defined in its new brand statement, “Confidence in Motion,” in this new Subaru XV.
