2019 Subaru XV Reviews

Unraveling Tasmania's mysteries via a series of off-road tracks and stunning vistas.

Now, this is a fun looking car. The Subaru XV is known as a SUV version of the ever-popular Impreza, so it’s higher off the road and travels like an SUV but isn’t large, like its big sisters the Forester and Outback.It’s in the small SUV category and competes with cars like the Honda HR-V and Nissan Qashqai.I was in the second-from-top-of-the-range XV 2.0i Premium, which costs $32,670 before on-road costs, and drove it all through the city this week for a bunch of Sydney Fashion Week commitments.Here’s how it did with me and my family of four over seven days of testing.

Subaru landed on a winning format when it turned a Impreza variant into a small SUV, but does this new version continue that hot streak?
