JAPANESE firm Subaru has announced pricing and specification levels for its new crossover – the XV.
The Subaru SUV is priced from £21,295 for the entry level 1.6i S model and rises to £29,995 for the 2.0D SE Lux Premium.
The XV is available with three Euro V-compliant Boxer engines: 1.6 and 2.0-litre petrol, and 2.0-litre diesel. The petrol versions have an auto start stop system fitted as standard.
Subaru predicts the 2.0-diesel XV will be the best-selling model in the UK. That car reaches 60mph in 9.3 seconds, returns 50.4mpg, while emitting 146g/km of CO2. The firms says the 2.0-litre diesel offers ‘class-leading’ fuel economy and the car has ‘the highest ground clearance and lowest centre of gravity in class’.
Entry-level S models feature ABS, traction control, Subaru Vehicle Dynamics Control (SVDC), front, side, curtain and knee airbags, 17-inch alloy wheels, daytime LED running lights and automatic air conditioning as standard.
SE models add cruise control, rear-view camera, Bluetooth functionality and USB/iPod connectivity. Meanwhile, top-of-the-range SE Lux Premium models also come with a sunroof, Keyless Smart Entry, push-button start, leather seats and satellite navigation. All 2.0-litre models are fitted with roof rails.
