As the new Subaru XV 2016 range starts to arrive in showrooms, many Subaru enthusiasts have been wondering what this new model will bring to the segment. Although there have been spy pictures of the model printed in the media in recent months, the new Subaru XV 2016 Australia model has been refined to perfectly suit our needs. Here are just five things you can expect.
A Spacious Interior:
The new XV is the ultimate crossover vehicle, with a dynamic blend of luxury and practicality. The model has a wide body cabin that has been carefully designed to ensure passenger comfort. You will find that both front and rear passengers can enjoy generous leg and shoulder room. The cabin feels high quality and has elegant stylistic touches, plenty of storage and intuitive controls. There is also an adaptable cargo area to ensure that you have lots of space for your weekend adventures.
The Latest Subaru Gadgets:
The interior of the new XV features a futurist design that is packed with all the latest Subaru gadgets and innovations. At the heart of the cabin is a multifunction colour display that allows you to access audio controls, air conditioning settings and other vehicle information with a single touch. The infotainment system is simple to use and allows easy connectivity with your smartphone and integration of the Pandora app. There is also Bluetooth wireless technology to allow you to stay in contact hands-free and keep your focus on the road.
Superior Performance:
In all the aesthetic changes, performance has not been forgotten. The new Subaru XV 2016 range features optimised performance that in combination with a high ground clearance ensures that this crossover is also a serious SUV. The XV features a third generation Subaru Boxer engine that is paired with the Lineartronic CVT for ultimate performance. Subaru has optimised the CVT, engine and chassis to ensure that the model offers highly responsive acceleration, greater fuel efficiency and improved drive experience. There is also a manual six-speed transmission option that can also offer smooth shifting and excellent performance.
Great Fuel Economy:
Subaru appreciates that the modern driver values fuel efficiency and have optimised fuel efficiency on the new XV. The model features auto stop-start technology to improve fuel savings, by automatically stopping the engine when it is idling and restarting in a fraction of a second, without the need for driver intervention. You can also monitor the actual fuel savings made using this system with the display of engine stop time and cumulative travel time.
Advanced Active Safety Technology:
The Subaru 2016 XV is also packed with active safety technology. The model has a reinforced body frame to provide increased safety in a frontal, rear or side impact. There are also designated crumple zones to direct the energy of an impact away from the passenger cell. The seven front, side, curtain and driver’s knee airbags, Emergency Locking Retractors and pretensioners have all contributed to the five star maximum ANCAP rating.
