On the face of it, not much has changed on the outside. Subaru has given it a new front end courtesy of a revised bumper, new grille design and a fresh set of fog lights.
It’ll also be available a pair of new colours: Plasma Yellow and Horizon Blue. 18in alloy wheels are available for the first time too.
Subaru has launched an updated version of the XV crossover, which will go on sale in March with prices starting from £31,665.
Design changes for the new XV are relatively minor, stretching to a redesigned front bumper, new radiator grille and tweaked fog lamp bezels. New 18-inch alloy wheels appear and a choice of two new paint finishes are added to the XV’s palette – Plasma Yellow and Horizon Blue.
Subaru has also updated the XV’s chassis with a new set of springs and dampers, as well as a new drivetrain controller featuring specific settings for snow, dirt, gravel and mud. Drivers can also now adjust the car’s engine and drivetrain characteristics using Subaru’s new SI-Drive system, which has dedicated settings for fuel efficiency and performance.
