The Subaru XV – A true crossover in every sense……But don’t just take our word for it, here is what the SA Press has to say :

“The real appeal of this car is its versatility – it’s an All-Wheel Drive but looks like a stylish yet fairly rugged sedan, and goes from nippy city car to handling the rough stuff when required. This is a very, very compelling vehicle. It deserves to sell well.”
Wendy Knowler – Motoring Zone, East Coast Radio

“Would I take this in preference to a Kia Sportage, Hyundai  iX35, Mitsubishi/Citroen/ Peugeot?  In a heartbeat.”
Brenden Seery – Weekend Wheels Editor, Saturday Star

“For starters, the price is right and they haven't skimped on the standard features. It’s aim as a competent crossover is clear. It doesn't have to try too hard, it just does what it’s been designed to do very well. Subaru’s all-new XV is competent and assuring on-road and off-road. It combines striking looks, impressive economy and wears an appealing price tag”
Brenwin Naidu – Surf for Cars

“Is Subaru se sexy sportnuts die nuwe GTI? - N Volkswagen Golf GTI was nog altyd die natuurlike keuse vir die stedelike jongman wat sy viriliteit en sukses wil adverteer. Opwindend, duur en, ja, ’n fees om te ry.
Maar in die nuwe Subaru XV het dit gevoel of ek evolusie ervaar. So amper asof ek uit die see geklim het, my vinne in pote verander is, en ek begin loop het. Want al lyk die XV soos net nog ’n sexy luikrug, kan hy ry waar ’n GTI nie kan nie. Dis omdat hy hoog bo die grond loop (220 mm om presies te wees) en vierwielaandrywing het.”
