If Subaru cars are traditionally associated with giving advantages in difficult weather conditions, off-road in the mountains, and on rough roads in rural areas, urban SUBARU XV moved to Subaru's promise of "security and pleasure" - which is part of the new slogan the label "Confidence in Motion" - and with it the benefits to customers.
Model Concept
The fundamental concept of product that adopted for Subaru XV can be expressed in two simple words - "Urban Adventure." In specific terms, the new Subaru XV had to be perfect for the exciting, agitated and demanding field use in urban environment. So Subaru is committed to optimally balance the requirements for performance, such as fuel efficiency and driving pleasure, with an elegant exterior design very personal. Since the family of crossover Subaru continues to grow, all new Subaru XV is characterized by the appearance, the way they face and respond to the needs of those who must drive into town. Subaru XV has 5 points of strength: (1 ) Subaru XV is elegant but muscular - From the brilliant design and powerful: Subaru Subaru XV gave a very personal design that combines a unique profile for an overall look sporty and energetic. 2) Subaru XV has a height from the ground "deceptively "high, since it actually has an unusually low center of gravity. Despite a comfortable ride height equivalent to that of Forester (22 cm), Subaru XV is marked by a great sealing. As with all Subaru boxer engine is positioned low in the engine compartment and is below the center of gravity. The weight of the engine closest place to the ground improves overall stability at high speed and makes it extremely safe to drive Subaru XV. (3) Subaru XV is characterized by the highest standards in terms of safety. In addition to providing the driver an excellent field of vision, Subaru has applied its unique expertise in the field of dynamic security to protect passengers and prevent or minimize collisions. Subaru XV won the 5 star ENCAP after being tested under the most current and stringent.

Large torque available at low revs, acceleration prompt, progressive, and consumption among the absolute best in its class. Package Dall'autotelaio dell'Impreza - legendary for strength, handling and safety - a long step has been achieved without increasing the length of the car. With the shift of the pillars forward, the interior conveys a wonderful sense of spaciousness. The longer wheelbase has also been used to give more ability rear occupants can now settle down more easily: the evolution of the sport coupe. With these enhancements, SUBARU XV has more space than any other vehicle in its class.
Of course, this contributes to a higher degree of comfort.
- Changes to the internal structure of the doors than the other models have allowed us to increase the interior space in the transverse direction. With more room for shoulders and elbows, the driver and passengers benefit from the improved interior space in its class.
- The forward displacement of the uprights "A", has improved the field of view, the cross section of the mast itself has been optimized and mirrors are more visible with the adoption of an additional light triangle. The perception of more space and light has also been obtained by lowering the top of the dashboard, resulting in the modification of vents, ducts and ventilation units. Even the spaces between threshold and floor were closed for increased structural strength. And even the higher seating position, more typical of an SUV, making it easier to get on and off the car.
Dimensions
The floor of the cargo and the internal structure of the roof feature a new design. Adopting a tire repair kit, it was possible to secure large distance between the floor and roof.
- One half of the floor can be tilted by connecting the straps to the hooks provided. In this way you can reduce the size of the opening step, and so now it's much easier to load and unload heavy objects, pets and the like. The adoption of the repair kit has resulted in an additional compartment approx. 15 liters below the level of the trunk This makes it much easier and convenient system for small items, avoiding going around, and increases the capacity of the loading area.
- No unevenness in the floor of the trunk area, loading and unloading has never been easier. By adopting this new design, users will benefit from a fifteenth SUBARU convenience charges when they, when they use the car on holidays for sports and outdoor activities, when traveling with pets on board.
Dimensions of the cargo
To ensure comfortable travel no matter where that takes care, the seats have been developed to comply with better and more securely to the body.
Front seats
with high hip point, the new design of the front seats makes it much more enjoyable travel. In addition, the driver's seat comes standard with manual adjustments in six directions. And head restraints can not only raise and lower, but now also have a mechanism of adjustment. At the same time the backs were raised to give more support to the upper back. The adoption of flat-bottomed spring contributes to a superior level of support. The calibration of the springs under the occupant has contributed to improve the feeling of being firmly supported by the seat, while the sides were redesigned to not be sacrificed. E 'was also chosen a low-resilience urethane upholstery for the cushions to better hold the occupant's body and to absorb small vibrations on the march. Rear Seats The rear seat area is very spacious. Peculiarities worthy of note are about to concave surfaces on the back of the front seats and more space underneath them, which allows rear passengers to sit down easily, comfortably and relax. At the same time increased the driver's rear vision with the introduction of retractable headrests. And with the anchors for the straps of child seats integrated in the back seat, loading and unloading of the rear seat has become much easier.
Convenience
Subaru XV was equipped with a large number of facilities suitable for driving in town, typical examples of: the Multi Functional Display and have the containers on hand for all types of objects. In designing this car, one of our main concerns was to ensure a high level of comfort for many different types of users.
Improved accessibility
Thanks to a careful design approach that took into account the principles of universal design, Subaru has created a vehicle that makes it extremely easy to enter and exit the cockpit. Subaru has not only made the opening wider the doors, but it has also raised the corner on the 'front door frames, providing more space between the casing and the body ends. So there is enough room to pass the upper torso when the doors can not be fully opened. Also, for convenience, was also minimized the amount of movement with which you must raise your legs up and down. The distance between the floor and the height of the threshold has been reduced, so that driver and passengers are able to minimize the effort to stretch out the legs to go up and down. And thanks to the higher seating position, the car offers a whole experience stress-free.
Front storage space
Focusing on quality of life on board, Subaru has made available ample stowage for small items, ideally around the driver's seat. These spaces are appropriately sized to accommodate purses, cell phones, music players, and altro.Penne, cards, receipts, and similar items may be placed in specific locations in the center console.

Powertrains
By now the entire Subaru range is equipped with a new engine. Developed in response to requests for an "environmentally friendly features," the new "FB" retains the benefits of the engine cylinder horizontally opposed "reducing consumption" and "performance by allowing more adapted for everyday use, with attention to the couple low speeds and medium-low. "This engine marks the beginning of a new era for Subaru. The 1.6-liter and 2.0 liter engines are available in Europe.
Features and benefits
- improving efficiency and reducing friction in the combustion are significantly reduced fuel consumption and emissions for a cleaner engine.
- For more efficient combustion is a combustion chamber was designed more compact, has adopted an EGR cooled, have been improved inlet valves and lights, and has been optimized the position of the injectors.
- were lightened pistons, connecting rods and other components. In addition, the friction was reduced by revising the cooling system and adding rockers to roller distribution system.
- The cost of the engine has been significantly improved (by about 10%) than their predecessors. The body is lighter, the better aerodynamics, the adoption of a new CVT, and the start-stop function automatically pushed this improvement.
- The longest running dual AVCS and the system have been taken to improve torque at low and average, so that the driver can count on prompt responses and progression uniform (no need to expedite the bottom).
- Compared to the current 1.5 liter Impreza, the new 1.6-liter engine is completely redesigned: 100 cc more improved performance at all engine speeds than the previous 1.5. The engine responds more linear throttle, especially schemes in common use, greatly improving ride comfort and fuel economy. Mechanics 1. Optimizing the size of the basic architecture with a long stroke and compact combustion chamber that Subaru has managed to get a longer piston stroke while maintaining the same size as the previous engine, changing the configuration and its operating mechanism of the distribution and redesigning the cylinder block and the mechanism of the head. The more compact combustion chamber is achieved not only thanks to the long-stroke engine, but also because of reduced angle between the valves with the adoption of roller rockers. This has helped improve fuel consumption and exhaust emissions.
2. Efficiency of intake / exhaust
system intake and exhaust has been optimized to convey as much air as possible in the aspiration should be mixed with the fuel, burning the mixture in an efficient manner and expel the gases through the exhaust back pressure at the lowest possible .
Shoe suction
capacity and location of the resonators have been optimized for better delivery of torque at low and medium. The total weight was reduced by eliminating the large intake of the engine rooms of EJ.
Intake Manifold
The intake manifold new concept contributes to weight reduction. By optimizing the structure of connection you have improved not only the fluid dynamics of air but it is also tuned the system to have more power at high revs.
Liquid-cooled EGR (exhaust gas recirculation)
has been added to the cooling function of exhaust gases EGR valve using a pipe that allows water to cool and recycle a larger amount of gas. Providing a quantity of the engine exhaust gas cooled, significantly reduces NOx exhaust emissions.
Maximizing the effectiveness of the turbulence generation valve (TGV)
The shape of lights and valves have been optimized using CAE analysis, leading to reduction in pressure drop valve open (increase in power output) and an increase of Turbulence (greater energy consumption and greenhouse gas) valve closed.
Lights (head)
To maximize the effect of the valve generation of turbulence, have been introduced in light of the separator inlet. It was also further improved efficiency in fuel consumption by adding sections to the throttle to increase the flow rate. The design of the input light has been modified to improve performance - in specific terms, the curvature has been oriented toward the exit and thin plates have been taken for light shutters.
Combustion chamber (piston)
A shaping more 'deep in the piston crown and the use of a squish effect pronouncements, ensure a stable combustion, without any change, at any stage of combustion.
Optimization of the position of the injectors
Injectors Mounting directly on the cylinder head, decreased the amount of unburned fuel vapor adhering to the sides of the head by improving fuel economy and performance exhaust.
AVCS intake / exhaust (Active Valve Control System)
using an intermediate locking mechanism on the intake side, and a normal AVCS on the exhaust, it is possible to refine the timing of opening / closing of the valves in order to align the use the engine. This contributes largely to improvements in terms of power output, fuel consumption and exhaust emissions.
Exhaust System
With exhaust pipe shorter and more area 'contained, to the reduced volume of the sections, is minimized heat loss of the exhaust gases before they reach the catalyst front, so the catalyst is heated much more rapidly than previous version and then the performance of the catalyst are maximum already after a short time from 'start the engine.
3. Cooling system
bypass channel below
for more heat 'the engine quickly, uses new bypass ducts. With the most rapid increase in engine oil temperature, reduces the internal friction of the engine and improve, consequently, fuel consumption for the benefit of emissions.
Separate cooling circuits
with the adoption of new separate cooling circuits, has improved the distribution of the refrigerant in the cylinder block and cylinder head. Thus grew the power output and fuel efficiency.
4. Reduction of friction
were reduced consumption by reducing friction.
Increasing the temperature of the cylinder block liners
adopting separate cooling circuits, limiting the flow of refrigerant from the separator piece of areas around the shirts, it maintains a high temperature of the shirts, which leads to reduce friction.
Best piece of roundness of bores through a production process accurately
the circularity of the shirt has been improved by changing the shape of the components of the cylinder and also false tested by applying the test during the working cylinder bores. A more circular shape allows the use of low-tension piston rings and piston in combination with less friction, which has helped to reduce consumption.
Barbell film distribution
The adoption of roller rockers for the control system of distribution has led to improvements both for the friction that consumption.
Lightweight components for the main moving parts
thanks to the reduction of the size of the bore, led to an overall reduction of weight with the use of moving parts such as pistons and connecting rods, lighter. With the adoption of a subdivision diagonal rods, has been reduced to a minimum increase in the width of the engine that is normally associated with a longer stroke of the pistons.
Oil pump for greater efficiency
with the new AVCS Since the needs related to decreased lubrication, it was possible to reduce the line pressure oil pump. Simultaneously, the outlet is now a two-stage, which, by eliminating unnecessary drives the pump, contributes significantly to reducing the levels of friction.
5. Other
The system control cam chain for the new engine uses a command for managing the type camshaft chain. The advantage of this solution is that it allows a compact and maintenance-free. The use of a chain system reduces the size of the crankshaft and cam gears, which helps to limit the increase in overall width. The adoption of a chain of high-strength contributes to the reduction of friction. Battery charging control system [vehicles with start-stop device] The control system includes an engine compartment battery charging current sensor, a battery temperature sensor and an alternator penitential. When the engine is idling or vehicle at a constant speed, it reduces the charging voltage of the request for 'alternator when the vehicle is decelerating, the charge capacity of the alternator is instead taking advantage of the increased inertia of the vehicle. Through this strategic use of the alternator at various stages of travel, you reduce the total load on the engine and fuel consumption.
Fuel pump control device (1.6 liter)
to improve fuel economy, the device that controls the fuel pump adjusts the power consumption of the pump required by the flow of fuel needed.
The SUBARU BOXER DIESEL, developed specifically for the European market, has received very favorable opinions. Among his most valued qualities are the high stiffness, low rolling, light weight, compact structure, excellent throttle response with high torque at low revs, the reduction of CO2 emissions and fuel consumption . The new Subaru XV includes the Boxer Diesel in its range to meet the increasing demand for environmentally conscious customers.
I. Characteristics and benefits
Fun to drive
- Powered by a horizontally opposed diesel engine light and compact with Symmetrical AWD, the new Subaru XV has the low center of gravity and excellent weight distribution and all guarantees superior driving stability.
- Low levels of inertia and friction of the engine allow for 'excellent throttle response. At the same time the driveline has been designed with all the relevant components of weight concentrated in the pace of the car in order to obtain a dynamic handling and a completely linear. Thanks to these and other improvements, you can have a driving experience of fun and comfort.
Economy and environmental compatibility engine, transmission and AWD traction are characterized by a very low value of internal friction. It follows that the new Subaru XV has reached top values in respect of CO2 emissions between vehicles of the same segment of AWD.
Comfort
The new SUBARU XV benefit not only of very small vibrations due to the basic structure of the engine, but also extensive and comprehensive interventions for the reduction of noise. This results in a higher total silence.
II. Mechanical
lock cylinder
to maximize the potential of the horizontally opposed engine with high stiffness, we used a piece of aluminum alloy. To have an ideal combustion of diesel, the bores have been reduced compared to the 2.0-liter 4-cylinder SUBARU BOXER petrol engine (EJ20). This has led to reduction of 61.3 mm, the length of the cylinder block for greater compactness of the group. This EE20 Boxer Diesel engine has a bore of 98.4 mm which is similar to that of the 3.6-liter 6-cylinder SUBARU BOXER petrol, but the diameter of the bore, however, was reduced by 3.2 mm for increased rigidity of the cylinder withstand the high combustion pressures typical of diesel engines.
Semi Plan: The structure of the piece uses a semi-closed type plan that has proven its robustness on turbocharged petrol models. This increases the rigidity of accession of the areas around the head gasket.
Pistons
The Pistons were the basis of the integrated cooling channels made by the engine oil that is sprayed through the jets of oil under the piston crown improving its cooling.
Connecting rods
The ends of the connecting rods feature an asymmetrical profile, which improves accuracy during assembly between the big end of connecting rod and the foot. The roundness of the surfaces of reconciliation with the crankpin greatly reduce friction. This solution also reduces the overall dimensions of the crank during rotation of the motor and what 'made it possible to choose a longer stroke of the piston within the cylinder block compact.
Crankshaft
The crankshaft high stiffness were subjected to surface treatment to withstand the high combustion pressures that occur in a diesel engine.
2. Distribution system / intake system and exhaust
head
to withstand the high combustion pressures have been used for high strength tested.
Barbell roll: have been taken of the rocker roller compact and low friction in combination with a system Distribution dual overhead cam (DOHC).
Distribution system: The diameter of the intake valve has been optimized to improve engine breathing and the resulting turbulence in the combustion efficiency.
Light suction
The combination of a suction swirl chamber and intake valve diameter has led to optimized for significant turbulence.
Distribution control system
for the control of the camshafts has been adopted a system very robust and compact chain can withstand the changes of torque generated by the diesel engine.
3. Common rail system
for a fuel supply to guarantee the best performance, it was used a high-pressure common rail system. Diesel fuel is pressurized to 180 MPa before being introduced into the flute of the common rail.
Solenoid injectors: They have been used for designing specific primers. A lower total length of the injector has helped to maintain a total width of the engine the same as the well-known petrol engine despite the latter has the longer stroke of the pistons. Optimizing the control of the injection, it was possible to improve exhaust emissions.
4. Turbocharger
To ensure a consistent boost at any engine is designed a specific variable geometry turbocharger. The same turbocharger was placed under the engine and mounted directly on the catalytic converters for cleaner emissions. The unit provides a more ready and more inertia 'and also contributes to the lowering of the low center of gravity. The adoption of a new mechanism VGS not only improves the efficiency of the turbine but also reduces fuel consumption and exhaust emissions while increasing torque at low revs.
5. Control system exhaust emission
control system of exhaust gas turbocharger is positioned at the bottom of the engine. This not only improves the purification of exhaust gas, but also helps to maintain a low center of gravity for added benefit of exceptional handling qualities arising from the Symmetrical AWD.
Oxidising catalytic converter
The catalytic converter separates the gases produced by combustion in water (H2O) and carbon dioxide (CO2). The unit was given the most 'compact so can be activated shortly after the cold start the engine. If the temperature of the exhaust gas reaches, in certain driving conditions, 300 ° C, the oxidation catalytic converter generates NO2, which oxidises collected diesel particulates in the DPF. Filter (DPF) a closed adoption of a DPF closed improves combustion efficiency and reduces engine exhaust particulate matter (PM10) in order to further improve the environment. The closed DPF features a honeycomb structure made of silicon carbide. The filter channels are closed on each side alternately to the end and there are microscopic pores on the inner wall of the filter, which leads to effectively collect particulate matter as the exhaust gases pass through these pores. The PM10 collected in the filter is burned at a temperature that can 'reach even more' than 600 ° C, thus regenerating the particulate filter turning it into carbon dioxide. Conversely, if the internal temperature is too low and the filter with a continuous accumulation of dust combustion, the temperature is maintained between the layers so as to cause the combustion of PM10, so repeatedly regenerating the particulate filter and emitting carbon dioxide as .
EGR (exhaust gas recirculation)
To comply with Euro 5 emissions standard, was adopted a liquid-cooled EGR system. The cooled exhaust gas is returned into the combustion chamber to lower the average temperature of combustion reduces NOx emissions.
Change
1) CVT "Lineartronic"
For the new Subaru XV developed a new compact, lighter and environmental change Lineartronic. CVT unit that has the potential to make a point of reference for many years to come in the foreign exchange value of the continuously variable CVT. By coupling this new change with the new engine, the new Subaru XV offers an 'exceptional handling and fuel economy extraordinarily competitive.
- The optimization of the position of primary and secondary education and other key internal components, have led to a general complex more compact and lighter.
- The adoption of a CVT transmission with the motion of the pulley-type chain, has extended the range of relationships and increase efficiency, with the consequent result of consumption of exception.
- By optimizing this CVT according to the new engine and chassis, also offers a unique and perfectly balanced noise responsiveness to commands from the driver without compromising ride comfort.
Coverage
- The new CVT is compact and covers a wider range of relationships.
- The short side of relationships has been set to have more inspiration at the start and the basic settings also allow for quieter operation and lower fuel consumption at high speeds.
Variator
- By adopting the chain, instead of the more 'traditional metal belt to transfer torque between the two pulleys, the result was a compact design and greater efficiency in the transfer of torque. In particular in the range of the system of 'overdrive, which is important for the reduction of consumption, has achieved an improvement of about 5% compared to the type metallic belt.
Performance / driveability on the march
- The adoption of the report Lineartronic imperceptible steps and ensures a smoother ride. Moreover, the ratios are optimized make much more pleasant driving on winding roads and slopes.
- The new Lineartronic achieves a perfect balance of response to the driver's intentions and ride comfort. This was achieved through the combined management of conduct between CVT and engine;
The change Lineartronic is well able to handle a 'progressive and linear acceleration, which varies according to how you press the accelerator.
Command mode by more than 6-speed manual handling (with rocker changed)
- The use of the rocker gear fitted behind the steering wheel makes it easy to change the operation of the various reports. The driver can instantly select the right ratio when used in manual mode, in sudden braking or rapid acceleration. The response and superior handling of Subaru Lineartronic exchange offers a sporty driving feel. To simulate a 6-speed manual mode, the CVT chain is placed in 6 well-defined points between the presenter and pulleys conducted thus establishing the desired fixed ratio CVT transmission. Repeated tests have shown that the road 6-speed manual mode is the most appropriate and allows for the necessary engine braking and acceleration of the right thus minimizing gear changes.
- If it acts on the rocker with the gear shift position in D, the control software switches temporarily shift to manual mode. When the system board recognizes that the vehicle is moving at constant speed once again, the electronics automatically ricommuta gear in D mode automatically.
- From this version, the engine and transmission are able to handle departures vehicle is stationary in second gear (manual mode). Consequently, it limits the chances that the sledding on wheels or ice surfaces with low grip.
2) Manual transmissions
6-speed manual transmission (diesel)
engine boxer diesel is renowned for its ability to deliver a high level of torque at all engine speeds. By coupling this engine with a six-speed manual gearbox, the new Subaru XV shows that this combination is undoubtedly successful in terms of driving pleasure and elasticity. It follows that the boxer diesel engine is able not only to tackle urban traffic easily, but also to be carried out on the highway at high speeds without any embarrassment. This availability of high torque at all engine speeds and a range of relationships just as well, ensures low fuel consumption and lower noise at high speeds.
6-speed manual transmission (for models with 2.0 liter gasoline engine)
The development of a 6-speed manual transmission Subaru's new XV is based on a 6-speed manual transmission Legacy improved in the 'fuel efficiency and maneuverability. The range of ratios is wider so that it is in a proper dialogue between the operating units and return the new outboard engine, both in conditions of heavy traffic urban motorway.
5-speed manual transmission (for models with 1.6 liter petrol)
The relationship of the 5-speed manual transmission have been optimized to improve the "environment" and the fuel economy.
For the new Subaru XV was developed a new "Start-Stop" present on versions with manual transmission and CVT gearbox Lineartronic in 5 / 6 ratios (Petrol version only). This system has the task of automatically turning off the engine when the vehicle stops or when it is temporarily stopped, for example, a traffic light. The device "Start-Stop" coupled with the new Lineartronic CVT gearbox, further reduces fuel consumption by 2.0L petrol engine FB compared to the same version in the solution to 6-speed manual. In developing this new system, as Subaru has been the guiding philosophy of its slogan 'Confidence in Motion'. More specifically, Subaru has aimed to create a system to stop virtually undetectable by the driver, thus avoiding even any inconvenience in terms of performance. The operation of the Automatic Start-Stop function can be excluded by its off button located at the bottom of the dash, left side.
Starter
- A special starter relay and an ICR (In-rush Current Reduction) are among the new add-ons that are part of the Start-Stop function.
- The relay ICR stabilizes the power when the engine off so that the display does not work with tools and dangerous power surges.
- The cars are equipped with a CVT Lineartronic starter solenoids with twin power. The solenoids are used to manage the independent action of the starter motor and its pinion connecting the ignition internal combustion engine and electric motor rotation. This ensures that the combustion engine can be restarted more 'rapidly. As a result, it is now possible to establish a new concept of use of the starter system, Subaru's new "Start-Stop" adopted on the starter motor, twin solenoids enabling a rapid response operation when the engine is switched off automatically, example, when you stop at a traffic light. With this system, the restart time was significantly reduced and the vehicle can 'spread rapidly. Specifically, the time between engine shutdown and restart can be equal to 0.2 seconds.

Powertrain
Symmetrical AWD (all-wheel drive)
Depending on the type of gearbox installed, there are two types of center differential, fundamental peculiarity of the AWD technology.
(Lineartronic models)
Regardless of the level of experience and skill of the driver, the exclusive Subaru AWD system allows you to have known the benefits of AWD to exploit its full potential combined with high levels of security. The Subaru all-wheel drive, electronically controlled transfer case includes a multi (multi-plate clutch) in the distribution used to distribute torque to the rear wheels. Working with a basic torque split 60:40 (front: rear), the transmission control unit responds to the driving conditions such as acceleration, climbing and steering to adjust in real time torque distribution between front and rear. If the front wheels slip, the system increases the amount of torque sent to the rear wheels, so as to ensure sufficient traction.
(5MT and 6MT model)
The system combines a center differential with helical-sharing basis of 50:50 and a torque to the viscous coupling limited slip differential. When a front wheel or rear slider, the viscous coupling adjusts the torque distribution to ensure traction. The center differential AWD with viscous coupling is combined with 5-speed manual or 6-speed transmission.
Chassis
Front Suspension : independent strut suspension
- In the front shock absorbers have been adopted new rapid response valves. This ensures a rapid damping control and a better overall response readiness of the entire apparatus suspension.
- In front suspension group was also used a new spring with specific settings to increase driving safety and to avoid dangerous driving situations. This new calibration cancels the possible rebound of the front wheels and prevents the potential lifting of the body during cornering. On the practical side you get a reduced body roll, tire maximum traction and excellent cornering stability. The excellent intrinsic stability of the carrier to obtain also a very agile ride and the driver can 'manage, secure, great potential to avoid the potential hazards while driving.
- The front mounting bushing stabilizer bar, as well as being increased in their size, have been modified in their form thus limiting any loss of retention due to deformation of the rubber in it. This change greatly improves the rigidity of the attacks of the media front and optimizes the steering response.
- The rigidity of the frontcourt of the front arm greatly improves the handling of the car making it extremely reliable and predictable reactions.
- A front support arm is used to connect the front crossmember to the front lower suspension arm. This helps to reduce engine vibration in the longitudinal direction to improve ride comfort and driving stability.
- At the front control arm bushings have been added and intermediate links have been increased front sections of the arms resulting in improved handling of the car body and an absolutely linear response of the front.
Rear Suspension: Independent double-wishbone suspension
- in the rear shocks were also taken of the new fast-response valves. This helps speed damping control from the start of the excursion and to have a better overall responsiveness of the entire apparatus suspension.
- ball bearings were used in place of the rubber bushings connecting the side previously used to the outside rear of the side arm. By using these new bushings, it is certainly less likely to experience changes in the rear toe in case of uneven road surfaces. E 'was also significantly improved driving stability on the straights.
- It 'was used specifically sized rear stabilizer bar to prevent body roll and improve occupant comfort.
- To improve the driveability of the car, has been optimized the rigidity of the front subframe bushings which has simultaneously improved the comfort of passengers.
Brakes
on all four models have been adopted disc brakes which convey a sense of security and reliability. Adopting a mix of new material that the pads are "low growth", the braking system is ready and very full-bodied in the response and is less subject to loss of pressure when braking. It has also reduced the weight of a series of components that have been used on previous models. The front brake pads we have added a spring return mechanism in order to prevent the brake pad, after a stop, to remain in contact with the brake disc. This reduces the frictional resistance of the resulting disc brake pad on and what 'helps to reduce fuel consumption.
Hill Start Assist (on models with manual transmission)
with manual transmission specimens are also provided with assistance according to the uphill climb. Slope, the brake pressure is maintained after releasing the brake pedal, thus preventing the vehicle from moving backward before pressing the accelerator pedal. This feature allows you to easily uphill from preventing unduly stress the clutch Electric power steering to improve fuel efficiency and sensitivity on the steering has been adopted an electric power steering. Thanks to the fine control of motor power assistance, has obtained a smooth steering feel and have been further improved fuel consumption.
Wheels tires
aluminum wheels 17 "with a new design of the SUBARU XV accentuate the elegance and innovative line, giving it a charming appearance. Subaru has also achieved a great balance between aerodynamic performance and weight reduction. The entire range is equipped with large diameter tires with reduced rolling resistance.

Body
- The use of high strength steel plates has led to weight reduction.
- The body is one of the lightest in its class. It is more robust and has greater resistance to bending.
- such as strengthening reinforcements and diagonal elements were used at strategic points of the frame to make the car more responsive steering and a stiffer behavior.
- To reduce the noise of mechanical origin are the insulators were used.
Security
Field of View Front (Front Visibility)
- have been minimized blind spots the size of the conforming front and side cross section of A-pillars so that they do not obstruct forward visibility, and supplementing the usual crystal deflectors in front of the doors. By placing mirrors on the doors instead of sheet metal on the tissues of the windows were down in the blind spots to the uprights A. This gives the Subaru XV level of vision at the top of the class.
Rear vision (Rear visibility)
- The side mirrors are designed so that the driver may have greater exposure on the objects surrounding the vehicle.
- For a more user-friendly, the command of the rear side is arranged on the armrest of the door. The illumination of the controls makes them easier to use at night.
- To optimize the rear vision have been made as close as possible to the hinges of the door which is the internal configuration of the ceramics section of the sky and around the windows. This has resulted in an elegant profile with a sleek rear edge of the roof and that does not restrict rear visibility.
Night Vision
- The area illuminated by the headlights is designed to ensure an optimal field of view before.
- All models were adopted headlight. [Both with halogen headlights with HID headlights (standard on 2.0i and 2.0D Trend Trend-Exclusive)
Visibility in bad weather
wiper and washer
- were adopted intermittent speed-sensitive wipers. Moreover, in each sprayer were used multiple spray nozzles distributed. The jet wash covers a large area on the windshield.
- The wiper exploit optimal rigidity and vibration absorption in order to minimize operating noise, making the system extremely quiet, the best in its class.
- The entire range is equipped with a rear wiper. When this mode works intermittently and the lever is shifted into reverse, the squeegee begins to operate continuously for better visibility.
Tegi / automatic lights
- lights and wiper are automatic.
- On vehicles equipped with advanced MFD, you can adjust the timing of the lights automatic intervention by MFD and the related controls.
- Timing of operation and activation of the 4-stage lights allow convenient choice in terms of activation of the lights.
VDC system (Vehicle Dynamics Control)
The VDC system, which helps to accentuate the great stability offered by the Symmetrical AWD is standard on all models. By monitoring the behavior of the vehicle, are managed in a flexible ABS, TCS (engine management and brakes to traction control) and VDC. Through the optimization of response times, high stability is guaranteed in all road conditions.
- The control logic used to avoid dangerous situations provides an ability to avoid hazards at the absolute top.
- Sensors G transverse G longitudinal and yaw control are integrated into the VDC to reduce the overall weight of the VDC.
- The operational status of the VDC is displayed on the MFD Evolved, keeping the driver constantly informed about the current state of the vehicle for added security.
- The use of shell plates in high-strength steel has resulted in reducing the weight.
- This model has one of the bodies of the lightest in its class and offers the usual strength and greater resistance to bending.
Collisions
- The panel platform was strengthened over previous models for added protection against the possible withdrawal of the pedals in a crash.
- A reinforcing element has been employed at the base of the pillar to reinforce the junction between mast and frame more. This ensures that the impact force generated by a collision is effectively transmitted from the frame to the upright. This gives a high level of security in terms of protection in a collision.
- Reinforcing the joints between the sections of the bumper bar and the frame has got a higher level of energy absorption.
Side Collision
- high resistance elements have been used on the sides, where there is little deformation zones. This helps to minimize the deformation of the body in case of side impact.
- Going to a double bar structure for the rear doors has helped to limit the deformation of the panel around the outside handle of the door, increasing the protection of occupants in the event of side collision.
Collisions Rear
- The rear chassis has been designed so that the energy of a rear collision offset is uniformly distributed on the right and left by the diagonal elements, helping to minimize cabin deformation.
Pedestrian protection
- placing the isolators to absorb shock in the engine compartment, we were able to reduce the effects of impact energy.
- To meet the new Euro NCAP protocols, Subaru has extended the foam to absorption 'Shock and lowered the bottom bracket center of the bumper.
Safety seats
Preserving the Legacy of the new seat structure, they are designed to limit the extent of injuries to the neck and carefully directing the movement of passengers in a collision.
- The frame of the seat and the internal structures were significantly improved by increasing the rigidity of the seat, rather than to incorporate an anti-whiplash structure. This has allowed the seat itself to exert an anti whiplash.
- An S-shaped hook is inserted in the back, connecting the seat frame and wall, which supports the torso of the occupant. It disengages the impact allowing the occupant to move backward in a collision. This allows you to absorb the impact on the trunk of the occupant in addition, given that its headrest moves forward, also provides a firm support of the head without the kind of forward tilt common with active head restraints.
- The shape pillows in the back seat has been optimized and the position of the seat is moved backward to decrease the effects of the impact in case of side impact.
- Fasteners for straps were added to two seats on the back of the rear seats. Airbags SRS - optimizing the arrangement of the sensors, it was possible to obtain the maximum detection during the collision, which means better protection of the occupants. - The optimization of the shape of the airbag provides enhanced occupant protection.
Dual SRS airbags
- The airbag SRS front passenger seat has a fold in the center so that the neck of the passenger is exposed to a lower impact force to open it explodes. The structure of the airbag has been optimized to reduce weight.
SRS side airbag
- the airbag structure has been optimized to make them more compact and lighter. This has led to a more subtle form from the side of the back seat.
- The structure of the airbag is designed to reduce injuries in unusual situations, like when a child leans against the door ..
- The new Subaru XV is equipped large airbags to protect occupants of the belt also, increasing their safety.
SRS airbags for your knees
- were adopted SRS airbags for the driver's knees. Protecting the legs of the driver in a collision, the knee airbag is intended to limit the damage caused by the stress to which the driver is subject.
SRS curtain airbags
- Expanding the area of protection, side curtain airbags protect a wide variety of body shapes and postures of the occupants.
- The structure of the airbag has been optimized by reducing the weight.
Other mechanisms of occupant protection
safety pedals (all models)
- The new Subaru XV is equipped with a mechanism that retracts the brake pedal, limiting the driver's ankle injury in the event of a frontal collision.
Steering column
- I installed a collapse mechanism between the intermediate sleeve and bottom to prevent penetration into the steering wheel when the engine moves backward.
- A separation mechanism has been installed between the chassis and tilt bracket to minimize the impact between the steering wheel, steering column and driver in a frontal collision. may look different from any other previous Subaru, it remains a pure Subaru product and traditional: the full range SUBARU XV is equipped as standard with Symmetrical AWD four-wheel drive chassis and the advanced Subaru Dynamic Chassis Control Concept, two Subaru of key technologies.
The combination of the Subaru boxer engine and all-wheel drive system provides exceptional stability, road holding and reliability, making it safe to ride in any weather and road conditions. The latest generation boxer engine offers a level of unprecedented performance and power consumption, making it permanent four wheel drive Subaru XV is more competitive and environmentally - in its segment - compared to 2-wheel drive competitors. Thus, the new Subaru XV stands out not only as a unique proposition in the crowded crossover segment C, but also because it adds value.
If Subaru cars are traditionally associated with giving advantages in difficult weather conditions, off-road in the mountains, and on rough roads in rural areas, urban SUBARU XV moved to Subaru's promise of "security and pleasure" - which is part of the new slogan the label "Confidence in Motion" - and with it the benefits to customers.
