Remember the Subaru that used to hang the six-star logo, but the import price increase is still a hard to find product, but with the more and more manufacturers opening up a large number of models of joint venture domestic production in recent years, the subaru at the import end is no longer so beautiful. But the sales are not explosive, does not mean that the car is not a good car, take the Subaru XV to be seen today, it is subaru's current positioning of the lower SUV, but it is the 2021 Subaru XV 2.0i sold to 215,800 yuan All-wheel Drive Luxury Edition EyeSight (which is a sub-top model), which is still the favorite of many hardcore SUV enthusiasts.
Exterior design
In the front design, the flat engine compartment does not use a large opening grille, but adopts a symmetrical octagonal structure with a narrow upper width and lower narrowness, and its border line will echo the sharp lines on the hood. The front bumper is surrounded by a wide range of black hard plastics, which mainly improve the passability here while achieving a small aerodynamic optimization.
Headlight design, as with the grille, irregular headlights in the front of the face of the proportion is not large, circular high beam and small size of the low beam lamp does not match the LED light source, but the top LED daylight band and the halogen fog lamp in the diversion hole at both ends will ensure its lighting effect in different environments. In addition, the front telephoto light enables adaptive switching for environmental friendliness.
The side part, with the engine compartment as the core, the crew compartment and trunk of the vehicle are also maintained in a relatively flat style. However, the windows are still large open to optimize the view and natural lighting in the cabin. At the same time, subaru XV also has a length, width and height of 4495/1800/1615mm, and maintains a wheelbase of 2665mm.
In the rear design, the size of the tailgate opening is relatively small, because the entire rear bumper structure is very close, and the ground clearance is also very large, which also echoes the driving positioning of the vehicle to emphasize multi-road conditions.
In the design of the tail lights, the C-type contour lights surround the brake lights, the overall style is relatively slender and regular, while covering the independent turn signals, the design of the rear fog lights can optimize its practicality in different road conditions and visual situations, with a higher tail light layout, the lighting effect of rain and fog weather is superior.
Interior design
In the cabin design, subaru XV used a split screen early, and the LCD display screen in the 6.3-inch dashboard at the top can display more digital information, including fuel consumption, while the car function control is close to the touch screen, and the air conditioning control is in a separate panel. The three-spoke steering wheel is covered with leather, while the position including the front bezel, shift mechanism struts, inner door panels, and armrests throughout is covered with a soft bag with stitching.
On the on-board system, the 8.0-inch LCD touch screen will match a number of vehicle condition data displayed in color on the dial, and the driver's grasp of the real-time car condition will be more convenient. Although the car machine system is not graceful in terms of additional functions, the main functions have been covered after the satellite navigation system and the CarLife mobile phone are interconnected; in addition, it can also complete the telephone operation through voice recognition control, and there is no longer a safety hazard in answering the phone.
In terms of safety and assistance, in addition to the seven airbags and tire pressure warnings, the Subaru XV is equipped with the EyeSight Driver Assistance System, which now supports full-speed adaptive cruise driving, which will also be supported by parallel assist, lane departure warning/forward collision warning, lane keeping assist and automatic emergency braking. In addition, during the parking process, the vehicle also has reverse image and blind spot warning support with rear parking radar. In terms of cabin, subaru XV can get a roof electric sunroof, automatic anti-glare of the inner rearview mirrors, rear privacy glass and automatic air conditioning, which can improve the overall texture of the cabin.
In the cabin space, the experiencer with a height of 177cm can get 1 punch of head space in the front and rear rows at the same time, of which the rear row will be 1 finger distance more than the front row after the headrest; at the same time, the leg margin of the rear seat reaches more than 2 punches, but the platform bulge is high. In addition, the leather front seats provide heating and support the main driver's seat with electric adjustment and position memory. The relatively flat trunk has a base depth of more than 800mm, just enough to fit three trolley boxes at the same time.
Mechanical structure
In the powertrain, subaru XV is equipped with an FB20 model 2.0L naturally aspirated horizontally opposed four-cylinder engine, with a maximum power of 113 kW (154Ps) and a maximum torque of 196N·m, and a CVT stepless transmission is matched on the transmission, and covers the left and right symmetrical full-time four-wheel drive system, through the multi-piece clutch central differential, high ground design and off-road driving mode, it will have a certain ability to get out of trouble autonomously.
On the chassis suspension, the vehicle uses a combination of front McPherson independent suspension and rear double wishbone independent suspension, as mentioned earlier, it achieves a minimum ground clearance of 220mm to create excellent multi-road passing ability, but also allows the wheels to maintain good flexibility and steering in place.
Write at the end
Subaru XV adopts a sedan-like shape in appearance, but after maintaining a high ground clearance and a large range of chassis, it covers four-wheel drive and horizontal opposing engines, and it is indeed a model that can adapt to more outdoor driving environments. Although its degree of intelligence is weaker, the combination of safety and space attributes still allows it to quickly realize the aura on the top of the imported car.
