Subaru unveiled at this year's Geneva Motor Show its latest variant in its Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive Impreza range, the Impreza XV Crossover. The new car combines the agile road performance with the recreational styling that made the earlier generation Impreza RV and Sportswagon major Subaru successes. It comes with new wheel arch extensions, roof rails, grille, and interior trim. Under the hood it will carry a 2.0-litre petrol capable to deliver 150 hp and 196 N or 2.0-litre turbodiesel delivering 150 hp and 350 Nm of torque, both Euro5-compliant. The petrol engine can be mated to a five speed manual or to a four speed automatic transmission, while the diesel only comes with a six-speed manual gearbox. This is an exciting model for us because it will broaden our appeal, particularly with younger audiences looking for a car that combines fun and safety. The current generation Impreza is the best seller of any to date and we're confident that Impreza XV will add to that success, given the earlier achievements of recreation-themed versions of the car, said one of the Subaru executives.
