2017 Subaru XV pricing and specs

Pricing and specifications have been announced for the 2017 Subaru XV, which will launch in Australia in June.


The new-generation Subaru XV (labelled as a 2017 model, but marketed by Subaru as MY18) sees a price drop at the entry level, even with a standard-fit continuously variable transmission (CVT) automatic factored into the price. As such, the new XV range kicks off from $27,990 plus on-road costs. The previous auto entry point was $29,240.

Indeed, the new XV follows Subaru's strong focus on value, with prices dumped on three of the four variants, which largely mirror the same spec and names as the Impreza hatch and sedan. See the pricing breakdown below.

The range is powered by a 2.0-litre four-cylinder 'boxer' horizontally-opposed petrol engine with stop-start tech, with 115kW of power and 196Nm of torque. Fuel use is unchanged between this version and the last, at 7.0 litres per 100 kilometres.

As mentioned, there's a CVT auto with paddle-shifters as standard, and all XV models are all-wheel drive. There's no manual option, and no diesel or hybrid, either.

As we found out when we sampled the XV in Japan a few weeks back, the new model has added off-road capability, with 220 millimetres of ground clearance and X-Mode, which adjusts the all-wheel-drive system, drivetrain and braking, and there's a hill-descent control system.

As with the Impreza, the lowest-spec model in the range has a smaller 7.0-inch touchscreen with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, with Bluetooth phone and audio streaming - and unlike some others, you still get a CD player. The higher-spec versions have 8.0-inch screen, with the top two variants gaining sat-nav.

One of the biggest items Subaru is pushing with the new-generation XV (and Impreza, for that matter) is that the servicing costs are down by quite a margin.

The XV now needs servicing every 12 months or 12,500km, rather than every six months/10,000km, and Subaru reckons the cost of ownership is down by nearly 40 per cent over three years as a result. There's a three-year/unlimited-kilometre warranty.

All-but the base model get Subaru's EyeSight forward camera system, which includes adaptive cruise control, forward collision monitoring, autonomous emergency braking and lane departure warning. The flagship 2.0i-S gets even more tech, with an automated reverse braking system (to stop the car if you don't see something behind), and it also has automated high-beam, blind-spot monitoring and rear cross-traffic alert.
