Subtle. That's how we describe the changes
to the all-new 2018 Subaru XV
Subtle but they're there
Upfront you got sharper headlights and a new grille
both blacked out which is signature to the model
and you've also got less chrome all around
Down the side you got stronger character lines
you've got a shark's fin antenna up on top
and new rims all around which resemble a
ninja star
Bigger LED taillights can be found at the back
and you'll notice if you use the boot a lot
is that the opening is now 4 inches wider which is a great thing
'cause coupled with a no lip rear bed
it makes lifting and putting heavier stuff in a breeze
However the space is a little short for us
See, you've got 310 liters of space back here
of course you can have more when you put the seats down
But, for the size of the automobile, you kinda expect a bit more
Inside the XV, you're greeted by an all black interior
with orange stitching which can be found all around the cabin
it really gives the car a very upmarket feel
Save one, this gearshift used to be wrapped in leather
and now it's plastic. Sure, it looks like a piece of onyx but
Yeah, not cool
Bring back the leather, kill a cow
New on the XV, X-Mode
Found on the bigger Forester it controls the engine
transmission, symmetrical all-wheel drive, brakes
and other components to safely navigate
through some challenging road conditions and varying terrain
At the center of your instrument cluster you'll find your trip computer
Up on top at the tip of the dashboard you'll find your car system screen
Now, both can be controlled from the steering wheel
What you won't miss is this massive
8-Inch touchscreen infotainment system
which has Android Auto and Apple CarPlay
This thing is huge. It's like Tesla size
Okay maybe not but you get the idea
What the boot space lacks, yeah the rear seats make up for it
and then some it is very roomy in here, surprising too
You could fit 3 taller than average sized Filipinos back here
However, bigger bodies mean more heat
which might be a problem 'cause there are no air vents back here
and plus, the third passenger might have to
compromise for the tunnel in the center
As well as the seatbelt that's position in the back
and then its gotta go through this hook and then it locks in here
Kinda odd
But hey, if it's just adults upfront and kids at the at the back
No problem whatsoever
The biggest change on the XV is that it now sits on
Subaru's all new Global Platform
which was first seen on the Impreza
A main focus on this platform is safety
where Subaru claims get this, a 70 to 100% stiffer body structure
and 40% better at absorbing impacts
That's pretty impressive
Thanks to Subaru's Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive
the first thing that you'll notice when you get inside the car
and step on the gas ever so slightly is that the car
wants to take off, like immediately
it doesn't sit down, it just wants to go
Now, once it does get going the 2L boxer engine and the CVT
well, it's a little bit on the gentle side really
even with the paddle shifters
you'd expect a little more pull and 'oomf'
from something that's well has got the looks and goods
for an active lifestyle
The steering however and the handling. That's just awesome
See, this generation's center of gravity is 5mm lower
than the previous model
which makes it, oh that much better
It may not seem like it from the outside
But the XV gives great driver visibility
thanks largely to these quarter windows upfront
normally side mirrors but here in this case it's windows
it like doubles your peripheral vision which is absolutely great
Speaking of side mirrors, the blind spot monitors
might take some getting used to
See, because of the cross traffic in the Philippines
and the way that we drive in such close proximity
they're always going off which can be annoying at times
Thankfully though, you can turn the system off
However, that might be a waste of technology
it would be better if well, they put that money elsewhere like
a power tailgate, or even better speed-sensing door locks
I mean come on
Not too common a sight on the road
it's easy to understand why people stand by their XV
220mm of ground clearance paired with the
Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive and off-road capabilities
All available at P1,538,000 for the 2.0i-S
its not the greatest thing out there, but its not bad
not bad at all
