Unfinished Symphony // Brief Test Subaru XV 1,6 Lineartronic Premium
The XV in Subaru is said to be a kind of talent for everyone, with conventional bodywork (five-door sedans) and off-road capabilities, in short, a true crossover specimen. But in our country, the brand cannot gain a foothold, because market managers took it away from afar - from Italy. It's also typical for Subaru to pay full attention to American taste when it comes to preparing models. The current XV (for the US Crosstreck market) is structurally fairly new, based on their new global platform, and will go on sale from 2018.... However, so few new features appeared in the appearance of the second generation that we cannot distinguish it from the first. The new one has been refurbished and arranged a lot, especially the impression of ease of use, the rich equipment of the safety assistants (contained in their serial EyeSight), and the possibility of all-wheel drive.
What limits the new XV the most is the drivetrain. The not very powerful 1,6-liter boxer four-cylinder engine has only 114 "horsepower", the engine has to crank up to a high 6.200 rpm.even the maximum torque of 150 Nm is modest and is only available at 3.600 rpm. Thus, in order to progress faster, it is necessary to press hard on the gas in order to make noticeable progress in connection with the automatic continuously variable transmission, while the engine runs at rather high revs all the time due to the nature of the engine. Transmission.
The corollary also rather high average fuel consumption. With moderate consumption, we need to drive very carefully and only lightly press the accelerator pedal. We missed the bigger, more powerful XNUMX-litre engine that Slovenia doesn't have, probably because the price of an XV like that would have skyrocketed.
For the rest, it is worth mentioning the really good hardware, which is also quite rich in the basic XV (Pure) version and will at the price of 23.590, this could be a very good opportunity to buy a car with excellent off-road properties..

evaluation
The Subaru XV has a wealth of equipment and standard all-wheel drive, but neither the engine nor the connection to the automatic CVT is convincing. Everyone praises the field driving capabilities.
We praise and reproach
serial four-wheel drive
connectivity
electronic security assistants
very rich equipment
transfer operation
the complexity of the infotainment menu
engine noise during acceleration
