2019 Subaru XV Crosstrek Review. The 2019 Subaru XV Crosstrek Col 2.0 with direct injection of gasoline if the quarry is well on dry roads and in the rough paths. They disorient the many commands scattered around the cockpit a bit.
Presented a few months ago, and coming soon in the dealerships, the 2019 Subaru XV Crosstrek crossover does not look very different from the previous model, even in size (it is 447 cm long, 2 more than before), but it was actually completely renovated. The footprint, in fact, remains that of a compact and sporty crossover, with a gritty front, wide fenders, a low roof and a very inclined rear window.
The sharpest headlights, the prominent mask and the most elaborate and massive bumpers in the form, nonetheless, give greater strength to the whole and make the line more appealing. The rear part also expresses a lot of character, as a result of the sturdy bumper, of the large horizontal headlights divided into two parts (the inner one rises with the tailgate) and the most pronounced spoiler on the roof.
It is all brand new, on the other hand, the platform SPG (i.e., Subaru Global platform) of the 2019 Subaru XV Crosstrek (shared with the Impreza): more rigid than the 70% contrasted to that of the old generation, is able, for the Japanese House, to improve the responsiveness of the car and increase The Pleasure Guide. According to the Subaru, the brand new XV Crosstrek Turbo also guarantees better absorption of the holes and greater handling, also thanks to the lowered center of 5 mm.
Redesign And Changes
Interior, the ample room (even in height) and the large windows make the cockpit of the Subaru XV Crosstrek airy, which is also appreciated for its easy accessibility (as on the Impreza, the doors have a wide opening angle that facilitates the entrance involved). The stylistic approach remains quite traditional, but it is good to note the improvement of the quality reviewed to the previous series, testified by the soft plastics of the eyelid covering the dashboard (also the orange seams) and From the pleasant upholstery of the seats. Precise assembly.
Too bad for the not very rational distribution of the main controls, divided between the plank, the console, the steering wheel, the doors and the ceiling, where the keys are placed to turn off the Pre-collision braking System (the automatic braking to prevent a possible Collision with the vehicle above) and the Lane Sway Warning, which warns the driver if the car exits the lane without activating the arrow), devices that are part of the EyeSight system.
Pleasing the graphics of the two screens in the dashboard of the Subaru XV Crosstrek, that of 8 “of the multimedia system and that of 4.2” of the computer involved at the top (the latter, having said that, forces to remove the look from the road). The seats fit, with the padding not too soft or too stiff, and with the side well profiled, which contain the body in the curves faced in speed. It barely improves the capacity of the trunk (which passes from 380/1270 liters to 385/1310), not great for the type of car.
2019 Subaru XV Crosstrek Performance
His best cards, having said that, the brand new Subaru XV Crosstrek Turbo 2.0 i Lineartronic if he plays on the road with dry asphalt and on low-grip funds. The 2.0 direct injection of gasoline from 156 hp (it has 6 more and was lightened by 12 kg reviewed to the old 2 litres) with boxer architecture (the cylinders are horizontal and opposed) has a regular operation, a discrete shot, especially to the mediums and high regimes, and it appears appropriate to the type of machine, although it can not be said that it has a sporting behaviour.
What is most convincing is, having said that, the high handling of the machine, which shows good steering precision (which also appears sweet and quite direct) and sufficiently rigid suspensions to effectively limit the lateral Curve. In the “mixed” it is easy to keep a cheerful step, always in safety: the machine is quick to change direction and precise in curve, also thanks to the valid traction integral Symmetrical AWD, which makes use (for the first time on the Subaru XV Crosstrek) of the X-Mode system to manage the Response of the engine, brakes and traction on slippery surfaces, and the Torque vectoring function, which improves the distribution of power between the wheels when a curve is traversed.
A system that has proved effective even in the off-road, allowing the car to move with ease in the mud and in the fresh snow and to leave behind easily even ascents and descents with a slimy bottom. The floor height of 22 cm also allows overcoming holes and obstacles of a certain commitment without excessive difficulty. Discrete CVT gearbox with continuous variation Lineartronic, which allows to reproduce the behavior of a manual transmission with seven gears (there are also the levers behind the wheel, but the answer is slow) and in the quiet guide seems almost not to suffer from the typical defect of CVT (which tend to “pull” the ratios by holding high motor revolutions).
As for the consumption of the Brand new Subaru XV Crosstrek, there is no Parsi content, since at the end of the test we have totaled an average of just over 9 km/L (read on the computer involved). It is true for much of the test we have driven on roads full of curves, with ascents and descents and we have not spared even snowy traits; The 14.5 km/L officers, nevertheless, are not close.

Except for the arrival of diesel. Four layouts: Pure, style, style Navi (with the navigator) and Premium. Cured safety: standard, for all, there are seven airbags, the Hill descent control, and the EyeSight system, with automatic emergency braking, blind angle monitoring, and adaptive speed regulator.
