"Subaru XV" the owners of the car

The Large, powerful, brutal – that's what three words can describe this car as a “Subaru XV”. Reviews of people who own this machine, also often contain these definitions. And no wonder, because they are so right for her.

Well, this car is really good, because of it should tell more details.

In Brief about the model

So, the first thing I would like to say that the appearance of this car was preceded by the presentation of the Impreza XV. A year later the Japanese manufacturer has decided to radically transform, to Refine the car and give it more power and off-road qualities. So there was a separate model XV. The prefix "Impreza" was removed.

In 2012 in Frankfurt, the car was presented to the General public. “Subaru XV" the responses are impressive. He fell in love like ordinary people and experts, automotive critics. It is based lay platform, taken from the Impreza (and understand why). However, the crossover was much more impressive in size. Length increased to 4.45 meters, width – up to 1.78 m high the car was 1.57 m. Still can not fail to impress wheelbase. Her figures are equal to 2635 mm. And completes the picture of the good ground clearance of 22 centimeters.

Appearance

So, what should be the first thing to note attention, talking about “Subaru XV”? Owner reviews usually begin with the appearance of the machine. Here we should begin. This model – the crossover, which successfully combines great functionality with a spectacular look. The exterior of the car it was decided to perform in the corporate style of the company. Immediately catches the eye front part of the machine. Or to be more precise, her signature grille, made in the form of a hexagon. “Wings” plated with chrome, which complements a certain luxury image. And complete the picture of lights of unusual geometric shapes. I should confess, hand on heart: the Japanese designers and engineers was to combine the off-road practicality inherent in the crossovers, with a sporty spirit. Very well short overhangs, raised up bumpers and plastic overhangs with a large angle of the windshield and a sloping roof that smoothly flows into the rear spoiler.

Interior

“Subaru XV" the reviews are good gets because he has a well-designed interior. The experts decided not to invent anything special and almost completely repeated the cabin, which could boast of a predecessor (that is, model Impreza). Although many do not like. Some critics and owners say that the experts could come up with something new, original – after all, this car is positioned as a different model! But, overall, everything looks good.

At the center of the instrument panel placed wide information screen, which displays data related to the work of the main units and knots.

Now – a few words about the practical features of “Subaru XV”. Luggage compartment – the main repository of the machine. Unfortunately, this car it is not too big. Only 310 litres. That is, for some journeys this will be enough – a few bags to fit safely. However, for the transport of large loads, this machine is absolutely not designed. But to save the situation, if you fold rear sofa. So will add another 260 litres, and the volume of 570 l.

Photos of the “Subaru XV" show us pretty large and as can be expected, based on first impressions, powerful car. Is it really so? Photo “Subaru XV" provided below and may not transfer the sensations experienced when riding this machine, but it should be noted that the model rides as good as it looks.

We should also mention the power units. Gamma engines consist of three engines, two of which are diesel, and third, respectively, diesel (turbocharged). What can you say about the first two?

Versions for Russian customers

The “desirable” cars are those equipped with two-liter engine or a turbodiesel. Because they – the most powerful. The first has an output of 187 km/h, and the second – 198 km/h. But for Russia the world-famous group has developed a separate version. They have under the hood maybeto be set to either 2-or 1.6-litre engine (power is 114 and 150 HP). The first of these motors is equipped with 5-speed manual transmission, but there are versions with the infinitely variable speed transmission. 150-HP engine available with a CVT and 6-speed “mechanics”. Both the first and second “Subaru XV" test drive went well, showing decent speed, smooth operation and comfortable driving.

Security Level

This – it is also a very important topic. Test drive “Subaru XV" passed on “excellent”, receiving five stars for the level of safety by Euro NCAP. And it – a solid result, the best! Through the use of high-strength steel sheets were able to reduce the weight of the car. This model, incidentally, is one of the easiest bodies throughout the class. But strength is not diminished-and most importantly.

A Sloping foot panel it was decided to make thicker – in order to maximize its strength and, of course, to increase the level of protection of the driver from offset pedals ago. Experts have also decided to put in the Foundation-pillar for special reinforcements. So it was possible to increase the strength of the connection between the upper frame and the stand. Test drive “Subaru XV” showed that the machine provides a high level of safety and comfort, and all – the driver, passengers, children and pedestrians. And it – another plus, which boasts this model.

About the cost and reviews

We are talking about modifications of the CVT (Active Edition). But there are used models of “Subaru XV”. Their price is much lower than that of new machines. For example, the 2013 version with 2-liter 150-horsepower engine (automatic, 4WD) will cost 900 000. Much less, as you can see.
