OREANDA-NEWS. Fuji Heavy Industries Ltd. (FHI), the manufacturer of Subaru automobiles, today unveiled the all-new Subaru XV at the Geneva International Motor Show 2017.

Combining a compact body with real SUV capabilities underpinned by Subaru’s original Symmetrical AWD System and a rugged and sporty design, the Subaru XV is a crossover SUV suited to a multitude of settings, from urban driving to the great outdoors. Representing the first full model change since the original Subaru XV was launched in 2012, the new model offers distinctive design and enhanced drivability on poor road surfaces, while adopting the all-new Subaru Global Platform to achieve world-class collision safety and superior hazard avoidance as well as dramatic advances in driver-responsive handling and ride comfort. The Subaru XV provides customers with “Enjoyment and Peace of Mind” as the second of Subaru’s next-generation models offered under the company’s Prominence 2020 mid-term management vision.

Details of the all-new Subaru XV product specifications will be announced for other markets in turn, beginning with the Japanese market specifications on March 8.

The company will also show the US Crosstrek version at the New York International Auto Show in April.
