Subaru XV Crossover Freshens Up For 2016

Subaru’s mould-breaking SUV, the XV Crossover, starts 2016 with the MY16 models further smartened up by a range of interior and exterior updates. Since it was launched five years ago, the XV Crossover has continued to blend exceptional SUV capability with exhilarating handling, innovative design and electrifying lines. Consequently it doesn’t look like any other SUV on the road and has since become the convention-defying crossover vehicle, which lets its driver escape the norm.

Designed for those who love adventuring in style, the compact Subaru XV Crossover is loaded with all the latest features, and of course like all Kiwi new Subarus, it has the Japanese engineering company’s legendary All Wheel Drive technology as standard, which it started pioneering as standard specification back in 1972. Whether it's cruising the city streets or road-tripping from surf to summit, the Subaru XV Crossover, which is available in three variants – 2.0i ($37,990), 2.0i-L ($40,990) and 2.0i-S ($44,990), will be sure to give you freedom in style.

 All MY16 Subaru XV Crossover models add the following exterior features:

•             New design 17” wheels

•             New design front grille

•             New design front bumper

•             Shark fin antenna

•             Rear spoiler painted black

•             LED rear combination lamp (clear)

The 2.0i-L and 2.0i-S also add chrome door shoulder moulding. XV Crossover’s refreshed looks allow it to make a bold statement and now owners have the choice of nine colours, with the addition of the stunning new hues – Dark Blue Pearl and Hyper Blue.

On the XV Crossover’s stylish interior the new features in the 2.0i-L and 2.0i-S include:

•             New instrument panel decoration

•             Siri compatibility

•             Satellite navigation - 3 year complimentary map updates

While the 2.0i-S adds a further:

•             Push button start

•             Smart key

•             Centre cup holder with slide shutter

Subaru New Zealand Managing Director Wallis Dumper says that complemented by these updates, the MY16 Subaru XV Crossover is the most competent SUV in its class.

“The bold and fun Subaru XV Crossover is designed to help you go your own way, whether it is for a city break or an adventure into the back of beyond. Coupled with car-like handling and size that allows its drivers to crossover easily between town and country, this Subaru provides drivers wanting more than the ‘look’ of an SUV because the XV Crossover will appeal to drivers who enjoy the journey as much as the destination and the peace of mind All Wheel Drive brings with its ‘all weather drive’ capabilities,” Mr Dumper says.
