The Subaru XV, which bears the aura of imports, has not sold high sales in the Chinese market, but this does not hinder its multi-functional SUV status in the consumer market. The 2021 2.0i full-drive deluxe version seen here is only a sub-low configuration of 205,800 yuan, but in addition to achieving full-time four-wheel drive, it also has the advantages of safety, space, passability and other aspects, as to whether they meet your car purchase just needs, we will come to a comprehensive detailed explanation.
Exterior design
In terms of front design, the engine compartment structure of subaru XV will make us think of cars, but the irregular front bumper bracketing style and amplitude are tougher than many urban SUVs, which is conducive to directly improving the vehicle's ability to pass in complex road conditions.
In terms of headlight design, the front of the car's far and near lights are halogen light sources, along with the fog lights hidden in the surrounding structure at both ends of the bumper are also halogens, which will make the light group look less grade. However, in addition to providing automatic headlights and height adjustments, they can also achieve adaptive near and far light switching, which is commendable.
In terms of side design, the body length, width and height of the Subaru XV are 4495/1800/1615mm, and the body wheelbase is 2665mm, which is dominant in data. However, the body has a good sense of line, and the irregular misalignment of the waist line brings excellent light and shadow effects, while the large ground clearance and the large roof luggage rack make it maintain the function of a multi-purpose car.
In terms of rear design, it is not difficult to find from this point of view that the grounding of the rear suspension can already be seen to bring a large departure angle to the vehicle, in addition to the hard plastic material at both ends, the center also provides independent sports guard plate, which is in line with subaru XV's hardcore cross-border SUV positioning. Of course, such a high ground also makes the equally flat rear of the car look straight enough.
In terms of taillight design, Subaru XV uses a combination of tail lights, except for the contour lights, the rest of the functional light groups are exclusive to one area, in which the turn signal will exist on the lower side of the main light group. Auxiliary lighting will also be provided in the rear bar lamp, and the reminder effect of integrated lighting will be very eye-catching.
Interior design
In the cabin design, the main operating area of the central control presents a longitudinal layout, but in fact, the central touch screen is still horizontal, but the multimedia and common function buttons will closely fit into the touch screen decorative panel. The center shift handle occupies a smaller position, and above it is a separate air conditioning control area, and the opponent placement will not have an occlusion effect. In terms of decoration, the door handle is covered with imitation carbon fiber texture decoration, and the leather steering wheel, leather and imitation leather hybrid seats are obtained, and the soft material coverage is larger.
On the on-board system, subaru XV's 8.0-inch LCD touch screen is embedded, and is equipped with a 6.3-inch car information display, which can independently display mileage, fuel consumption and other information, and form the actual cockpit three-screen display. In the vehicle interconnection function, the car machine equipped with the vehicle also has intelligent navigation, CarLife mobile phone interconnection mapping, voice recognition control and other functions, but the voice only supports the operation of the call, and the car interface UI is easy to read and easy to use.
In terms of on-board configuration, in terms of safety, subaru XV matches 7 airbags and supports tire pressure alarm and parallel assist; in terms of assistance, the vehicle has reversing images, rear parking radar and side warning functions, and can also realize sports/off-road driving mode, uphill assist and steep slope mitigation, which will be concentrated on the left side of the cockpit for adjustment and control. In terms of cabin use, it provides a number of electric or automatic functions, including electric exterior mirrors, smart remote control keys, automatic anti-glare inner rearview mirrors, electric sunroof, automatic air conditioning, etc., but it is a pity to have no independent air conditioning in the rear.
In terms of cabin space, Subaru XV created a 4-finger, 1-punch front and rear head space for experiencers with a height of 180cm, while also maintaining 2 fists of rear leg space, the overall static body feeling is very spacious, and the use rate of cabin space is relatively high. However, the lack of independent air outlet, one-key window adjustment and other functions will affect the convenience of the car to a certain extent.
Mechanical structure
In the powertrain, in the engine compartment is a 2.0L naturally aspirated engine with a model of FB20, and it can be queried that its cylinder arrangement is neither "L", nor "V", but "H", which means that subaru XV uses a rare horizontally opposed engine, which can provide the vehicle with a maximum power of 113 kW (154Ps) and a maximum torque of 196 N·m, and matches the CVT stepless gearbox with a full-time four-wheel drive system.
On the chassis suspension, the Subaru XV uses a combination of front McPherson and rear double wishbone independent suspension, high ground clearance and the presence of a left-right symmetrical four-wheel drive system, so that it can face less extreme off-road environments without differential locks. In addition, the toughness of the suspension is also relatively high, and it can cleanly filter the fine bumps while maintaining a certain amount of handling pleasure.
In general, although subaru XV is relatively niche in the domestic market, brand awareness and sales are not as good as the same level of Japanese models, but in terms of product substance, subaru XV performance is still good. In particular, the horizontal opposing engine and the proud four-wheel drive system, and the pure import identity, all give this car a unique shining point. But it is a pity to become a niche brand.
