Aesthetically, the Impreza XV will be equipped with an exclusive grille, with more elaborate wheel arch protectors, with a higher roof topped with a roof rack and a more visible deflector.
The Subaru Impreza XV will be commercialized in Europe as of this year and will benefit from Boxer four cylinder engines, already available on existing line models. Incidentally, there is a Subaru 2,0 litre engine, either atmospheric or diesel, being used in Europe, which is extremely popular...
American commercialization
It is too soon to tell if this new model will be offered in America. But, to this day, we know that the vast majority of new Subaru vehicles presented in Europe end up on North American soil at the latest the following year.
The Subaru Hybrid Tourer Concept
This superb concept vehicle with a novel hybrid engine had it’s world première at the Tokyo show last October.
Two months later was it’s introduction in North America, at the Detroit auto show.
And now, it makes a long awaited debut in Europe, at the Geneva International Motor Show, held this March.
