OREANDA-NEWS. Subaru Motor Company has revealed details about the compact crossover Subaru XV of the new generation for the Russian market, the sale of which will begin in October of this year.

Subaru XV cars for the Russian market are available with gasoline engines in volume of 1.6 and 2.0 liters. The new 2-liter engine with direct fuel injection (about 80% of the parts have been updated) is characterized by lower weight (lighter 12 kg) and better combustion efficiency. In the updated 1.6 liter atmospheric engine with distributed fuel injection, the noise and vibration levels are reduced, reports the Subaru Motor press service.

In the modernized stepless Lineartronic transmission, the power range is increased (the previous model is 6.28, the new model is 7.03), which has improved the acceleration characteristics and reduced fuel consumption. By using the steering column shift knobs, you can select one of seven virtual gears without removing your hands from the steering wheel, even during a sudden braking or acceleration.

In addition to the original permanent all-wheel drive system, the new Subaru XV is equipped with the X-Mode system, which is designed to improve the off-road performance of the off-road vehicle and on slippery surfaces. The system allows you to change the parameters of the engine, transmission, all-wheel drive and stabilization system. In addition, the X-Mode includes a Hill Descent Control, which maintains the speed of the car constant, ensuring safe movement on a slope of great steepness.
