The idea of a hybrid version of Subaru’s small XV SUV seems to make complete sense – this is a car that probably spends most of its time in traffic but is owned by people who might like to head down a dirt track occasionally. And if it can somehow manage to give off a green glow as well, that could only be a bonus.
But can it actually do all those things? That's the question I’m here to answer, with a bit of real-world testing.
