Subaru's XV arrived a decade ago, and immediately carved its own niche among ‘crossover’ SUVs. Imprezabased and carrying a strong hit of that car's rallyinspired DNA, the XV was immediately popular.
The ski set loved it for its clever all-wheel-drive system and handling. Young outdoorsy families loved it for its ability to do work all week and then go exploring at the weekend.
Popularity is without dispute – the XV sold 100,0000 units in Australia.
It's a long-awaited overhaul for the XV/Crosstrek. Subaru rightly expects the Crosstrek to pick up where the XV leaves off.
