New looks and new technology – 2021 Subaru XV
The award-winning 2021 Subaru XV is now available in South Africa with an updated look and top of the range new technology.
According to Quickpic, the Subaru XV crossover has an updated lower grille design, with added fog lights and bumper trim elements. The XV features 17 and 18-inch alloy wheels with 220mm of ground clearance. The colour options have been updated as well, adding in Plasma Yellow Pearl and Horizon Blue Pearl.
The Crossover has Subaru Intelligent Drive (SI-Drive) and activated buttons on the steering wheel. The various driving modes allow the best engine and transmission performance, with a choice of comfortable and frugal driving efficiency in ‘I’ mode or a sportier drive in ‘S’ mode.
Advanced levels of safety and convenience are the Front View Monitor, a camera integrated into the grille that displays a front view of the car to assist with moving in tight spaces and to avoid any obstacles. This forms part of Subaru’s Vision Assist technologies which include Blind Spot Monitor (BSM); Reverse Automatic Braking (RAB); Lane Change Assist (LCA) and Rear Cross Traffic Alert (RCTA).
The Subaru XV has a sunroof, X-Mode, 8-inch touchscreen infotainment with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, Voice-command, 4 x USB ports and the award-winning EyeSight Driver Assist technology. New on the MY2021 models is a memory seat function for the driver.
The new XV has revised suspension and spring rates for improved steering response. The XV range is powered by a direct-injection 2.0-litre Boxer® engine delivering 115kWwith 196Nm of torque mated to a Lineartronic CVT that also allows for a 7-speed manual mode operated with the shift paddles behind the steering wheel.
Nteo Nkoli, Marketing Lead of Subaru Southern Africa says, “These updates to the XV compact SUV enhance what was already a highly competent vehicle. Now safer, more comfortable and with added tech and colours, the XV truly embodies the themes of fun and adventure.”
