Subaru’s ever popular, award-winning SUV, the Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive XV, has attained an extraordinary milestone of 100,000 sales in Australia
As Subaru’s first foray into the compact SUV class, The original XV rode on the same platform as the iconic Impreza and featured its all-wheel drive and a 2.0-litre petrol engine mated to a choice of manual or, slightly less fun, CVT gearbox.
Subaru refreshed the XV significantly in 2017 and bought a host of changes such as additional ground clearance, Apple CarPlay and Android Auto compatibility as well as new and sleek LED headlights.
In 2020, the range was expanded by a pair of electric hybrid variants, which became some of the most fuel-efficient vehicles in their class. The mild-hybrid XV offered a 14% improvement in efficiency in city commuting and 7% improvement in the combined cycle.
Subaru Australia managing director, Blair Read, says “The success of XV has been its ability to offer consumers a compact SUV that provides on-road and off-road capabilities, catering for city-living and off-the-beaten-track getaways,”
Continuing to comment on the sales success of the XV saying “100,000 XV sales is a major milestone for the Australian retailer network, and we are delighted that the XV continues to meet Australian consumer’s needs.”
