The chic new Subaru XV is now in Subaru Dealer showrooms throughout the country.  The safest model in its class (certified 5 star Euro Ncap award) for child occupant safety, the Subaru XV combines city style with urban and offroad ability.

Subaru XV

Core Subaru technologies – Symmetrical All-Wheel-Drive (Permanent four wheel drive) and the unique Boxer Diesel engine – ensure the XV satisfies the needs of the discerning driver. Whether for business or pleasure, the Subaru XV is well capable whatever the weather.

Despite a ground clearance of 220mm, the best in its class, the Subaru XV offers a low centre of gravity, which aids its “on-road” adhesion giving it an acceleration figure of 0-100km in 9.3 seconds.  Priced at €34,995, the level of trim and standard features, which will leave its direct competitors in its wake, suggests the Subaru XV is a serious new comer to this important segment.
