Andrew Chesterton road tests and reviews the new Subaru XV 2.0i-L with specs, fuel consumption and verdict.
The 2.0i-L is the mid-point in the three-model XV family, sitting above the 2.0i and below the 2.0i-S. Like the other models, its available with a six-speed manual gearbox ($30,240) or a CVT automatic ($32,740).
While you get the same 17-inch alloy wheels (and the same AWD system) as the entry-level car, springing for the 2.0iL will nab you a bigger 7.0-inch touchscreen and a better six-speaker stereo. Dual-zone climate control also makes an appearance, as do halogen DRLs and an electric sunroof. Inside, expect a digital display to appear in the driver's binnacle, along with cruise control and the ability to access Pandora through the stereo.
The 2.0i-L gets seven airbags, along with Subaru's 'Dynamic Control' package that includes ESC, ABS and traction control. You'll also find a reversing camera and Hill Hold Assist, but there is no AEB system available.
