Subaru XV 2017

FROM
$13,420

The 2017 Subaru XV range of configurations is currently priced from $13,888.

Our most recent review of the 2017 Subaru XV resulted in a score of 7.8 out of 10 for that particular example.

Carsguide Contributing Journalist Andrew Chesterton had this to say at the time: The Subaru XV remains a solid pick in the small-car segment, especially for those looking for something just a little different to the norm. And while the top-spec 2.0i-S isn't particularly cheap, you'll want for little in terms of technology and safety, and you won't be required to splash out on the option list, either.

This is what Andrew Chesterton liked most about this particular version of the Subaru XV: Impressive safety kit, Top-spec model wants for nothing, Practical, spacious interior

The 2017 Subaru XV carries a braked towing capacity of up to 1400 Kg, but check to ensure this applies to the configuration you're considering.

The Subaru XV is also known as Subaru Impreza, Crosstrek in markets outside Australia.

Subaru XV 2017 FAQs

Factory vs. Aftermarket: which oil is better?

I would use the factory recommended oil, at least while the car is under warranty. Once the warranty has expired you could use the Mobil oil and shouldn’t experience any problems.

Kia Sportage or Subaru XV?

Both would be well suited on the basis of what you have told us. The top Sportage is more expensive than the top XV, but it’s more economical, the service intervals are a little longer, and it comes with a 7-year warranty compared to the XV’s 3-year deal. If you planned to keep the car for a number of years I would suggest the Sportage is the better choice, but if you turn your cars over regularly I would probably go for the XV.
