Subaru XV SUV gallery

The Subaru XV SUV competes in a popular sector against rivals like the Peugeot 3008, SEAT Ateca and Nissan Qashqai

Unlike most rivals, the Subaru XV is only available with petrol engines

The second-generation model has new styling for a more athletic look

A raised ground clearance, plastic wheelarch cladding and roof rails add to its SUV design cues

With fuel economy of around 45mpg, this can make the XV a little more costly to run

But, it's not too thirsty when you consider the XV also has four-wheel drive as standard

A system called X-MODE also helps keep the XV under control in slippery conditions or during steep descents

This provides impressive traction, able to get the XV places most owners would never think of going
