About the Subaru XV
The Subaru XV is a five-door subcompact crossover in its second generation. Subaru launched it in 2012 as a successor to the Outback Sport and the Impreza XV.

It comes with a more hawk-like face, rugged-looking body accents, and a considerably higher ride height than that of the Impreza hatchback.

It has an innovative Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive system that enables it to perform just as well on dirt roads as it does on tarmac. Its rivals include the Honda Vezel, Toyota C-HR, Mitsubishi RVR, Nissan Dualis, Nissan Juke, and Peugeot 2008.
