The Subaru XV is a stylish vehicle in the increasingly competitive small SUV category. An upgraded XV was released in November last year.
All XV models now have a two mode driving configuration: sport and eco. There is a revised suspension for improved handling and comfort, new wheel designs and at the front a new grille, bumper and fog light design.
