At first glance, the new Subaru XV hasn’t changed much, but the ride and interior have both vastly improved since the first generation.
The XV has never been a top seller in the UK, but Subaru hopes the second generation will change that.
The XV’s steering isn’t too bad, but there is a noticeable lack of torque from the engine.
The Subaru XV line-up is relatively simple, with two powertrain choices and two trim levels.
The XV will be more expensive to tax than it’s rivals and it’s poor mpg figures make it costly to run.
Subaru’s touchscreen infotainment system is well laid-out and easy to navigate.
Although it’s not quite as stylish as some of its rivals, the XV has a functional layout and it feels built to last.
