When it comes to Subaru, it probably won't be the preferred brand for most Chinese consumers. Because in terms of model ownership, this brand is far from Toyota and Honda, which are also Japanese families, at least in the Chinese market; and the opening of offline stores, Subaru, which is imported as a whole series, is indeed relatively rare. So of course, the brand will not be a popular choice in our Chinese market, such as the Subaru XV we are going to talk about today, which is the unpopular car in the 200,000-level SUV.
Positioned in the compact SUV Subaru XV, there are currently 4 models on sale, the official guidance price is 19.18-23.38 million yuan, today we mainly analyze the guidance price of 205,800 yuan Subaru XV 2021 2.0i full drive luxury version. From the pricing point of view, although this model is the sub-low of the Subaru XV, its naked car price that exceeds the 200,000 threshold is indeed not cheap, but considering its pure import status, it seems that it is not much expensive.
From the outside, the design style of Subaru XV is still very outdoor style of the big brother Auror Tiger and the second brother forester, such as the high chassis and the family front face. However, this Subaru XV 2021 2.0i full drive deluxe version of the halogen near and far light, in the current view may be a bit out of place, because everyone uses a better lighting effect LED light source.
On the side, the Subaru XV also has a skeleton roof rack with its high family recognition, which is still a practical option for users who need to expand the roof space. Then the silver trim of the wheels and door handles echoes the silver luggage rack; and its 18-inch two-tone wheels are pretty much one of the few highlights of the car's design. In terms of body size, subaru XV length, width and height are 4495 * 1800 * 1615mm, compared to the same price of Veranda, CR-V, Tanyue and other models, subaru XV body size is smaller than a dimension.
At the rear of the car, I personally think that there is no highlight, and even many friends may think that although the rear of the Subaru XV is very layered, the sense of beauty or design is still almost interesting. However, aesthetics has always been an open question, so we don't need to say who is right and who is wrong, as long as you like it yourself, it is no problem.
Many netizens say that Subaru is a "straight man of steel", and some friends may not understand what is going on, but when you see the interior of Subaru XV, you may be able to understand one or two. We mean that it is now 2022, but subaru XV's interior design style is still like the product of 10 years ago, the car control components are basically based on physical buttons, and this central control screen does not support the Internet of Vehicles, OTA upgrades, CarLife, Bluetooth, navigation is almost the limit.
In terms of specific configuration, the Subaru XV we talked about can only be said to be decent, because it does not have a series of intelligent driving aids, and even has no cruise control and parking front radar. However, in terms of comfort configuration, leather steering wheel, keyless entry for the front row, imitation leather/leather mix-and-match seats, as well as electric adjustment of the main driver's seat/seat heating/seat memory, automatic air conditioning, etc., are also standard. But when it comes to air conditioning, you have to spit on the Subaru XV, because even if this car is on the top, it does not have a rear exhaust air outlet.
Spatially, the subaru XV has a wheelbase of 2665mm, the overall space in the car is decent, with a 178cm tall test rider sitting in the back seat, the front seat is adjusted to the driving sitting position, subaru XV's rear legroom margin is two punches, and the head space is about 4 fingers. In the trunk part, the maximum volume of subaru XV is 1220L, and the trunk space in the conventional state is also enough for home use; if you go outdoors or drive, subaru XV supports a flat reclining rear seat back, which can also be used as a double bed.
As usual, let's talk about the power and chassis system of the Subaru XV. In terms of power, the car is equipped with a 2.0L horizontal opposed engine, the maximum horsepower is 154Ps, the maximum torque is 196N·m, and the transmission part is matched with the CVT gearbox. It is true that from the perspective of power response, the performance of subaru XV is very general, and it can even be said that it is weak, but the congenital low center of gravity and balance of the horizontal opposing engine undoubtedly play a big role in improving the driving experience. Moreover, brands that still use horizontally opposed engines are only Subaru except Porsche.
Chassis part, Subaru XV equipped with its own full-time four-wheel drive system, suspension is also the use of front McPherson + rear double wishbone, on the chassis skills and passability, Subaru XV in the 200,000 SUV camp, will not be afraid of the major competitors, after all, Subaru This "straight man" in the chassis and mechanical parts of the technical level, but has been globally recognized.
Summary: After a relatively comprehensive understanding of subaru XV, have you found out why its visibility in the market is so low? First of all, from a brand point of view, Subaru itself is a niche brand in the Chinese market, and the new pure import is also doomed to its maintenance costs will not be cheap. Secondly, for most consumers, the performance of the Subaru XV vehicle is indeed difficult to cater to everyone's preferences. In addition, in terms of retention rate and brand influence, Subaru XV has no advantage at all, so it is not surprising that it has become an unpopular choice. Of course, I personally would not recommend that you choose subaru XV with a budget of 200,000; and friends who really like subaru and like subaru XV, I believe that there is no need for others to analyze the pros and cons.
