Subaru XV 2.0i: test - Road Test
We tested the Subaru XV XNUMXi: the Japanese compact SUV offers excellent handling on the road (and off-road) and a refined gasoline aspirated boxer engine. Plenty of room for the legs of the rear passengers (but a few centimeters for the head)

The new Subaru XV is not (for the moment, LPG will arrive later) a car suitable for the Italian market - it is now only available with gasoline aspirated engines and exclusively in combination with the CVT automatic transmission - but it has a couple of points of strength not to be underestimated: a rich safety equipment and excellent behavior on all surfaces.
La second generation of Subaru XV it is not simply - as some might think - one Show with raw plastic protections that winks at the world of SUV. The latest proposal a four-wheel drive of the Casa delle Pleiadi is a full-fledged Sport Utility, a vehicle that gets along very well even in off-road (thanks to theGround clearance of XNUMX cm e del speed control downhill).
In our road test we got to test the most exclusive variant of the Crossovers Japanese (car available exclusively with engines naturally aspirated petrol combined with a Automatic transmission variator, two elements that make this vehicle unsuitable for our markets): the XNUMXi Premium... Let's get to know him together strengths e defects.
city
Despite a calibration of the shock absorbers tending to stiff the Subaru XV it absorbs holes well and in parking lots can benefit from the support of the television camera back and untreated plastic protection (protects against possible "touches").
Il engine 2.0 atmospheric boxer gasoline with 156 hp and 196 Nm of torque, however, at the start does not shine much (10,4 seconds at "0-100"). There is a lack of turbo.
Outside the city
La Subaru XV our main character road test - as we have seen - at home under the hood engine who prefers a relaxed gait. On the other hand, the behavior on the road is exceptional: despite the considerable height from the ground (22 cm), SUV Nipponica has barycenter low and offers amazing cornering maneuverability.
To all this we add one steering straight and CVT Lineartronic automatic transmission with paddles on a steering wheel that handles well (it should be a continuously variable transmission, mind you): it keeps the revs low in a quiet ride, and the "scooter" effect is noticeable only - and not too much - when you drive aggressively.
шосе
Well soundproofed cab, boxer engine not raising voice (2.500 rpm at 130 km / h) and good response from suspensions along the gutters: this is, in general, the behavior in motorway of Subaru XVstable when changing direction at high speeds and with good braking system.
Concerning "autonomy The Japanese manufacturer claims a mileage of 913 km with a full tank, even if in fact it can only exceed 700 if you drive quietly. I deserve more than tank capacious that the gods consumption...
Life on board
Under "habitability"For Subaru XV object of our road test There are ups and downs: if it's true that rear passengers have a lot of inches in the leg area, then it's equally true that taller passengers don't have much air overhead.
Equipped trunk in a standard and well-finished interior that places more emphasis on content (good materials and workmanship) than appearance (not much flicker in design), there is dashboard ergonomic and steering wheel overload of buttons.
Price and costs
La Subaru XV 2.0i Premium analyzed in our road test It has price in accordance with the competition (32.490 XNUMX euros) combined with standard equipment Interesting. A few examples? Alloy wheels from 18", dual-zone automatic climate control, speed control downhill, LED headlights, fog lights, leather, navigator, folding mirrors electrically, heated front seats (with electrically adjustable driver's seat), Rain sensor, system infotainment system Subaru Starlink с Android Auto, Apple CarPlay, Bluetooth, socket e USB, television camera Back, sunroof and tinted rear windows. Good Warranty three years or 100.000 km.
However unconvincing preservation of value (option A will be more successful LPG, we'll see soon) and consumption (of four-wheel drive и atmospheric engine gasoline combined with Switch variator certainly won't help): the Rising Sun mark claims 14,5 km / l, but to stay above 10 you have to make a commitment.
safety
La safety equipment of Subaru XV - able to win five stars в Euro NCAP crash test - done: air bag front, side, curtain and under the driver's knees, nozzles Isofix, front seats with whip head restraints e Subaru Rear Vehicle Detection (which signals the presence of cars arriving from behind). Without forgetting about the system Vision which includes: collision avoidance, wobble warning, accelerator control for imminent collision, Adaptive Cruise Control, carriageway intrusion alert system, forward vehicle traffic alert and active carriageway maintenance.
Added to this is the excellent handling and powerful braking system. Only visibility could have been better.
