Subaru XV Specs, Engines & Dimensions (2011–2016) — First Generation
The first-generation Subaru XV is a compact crossover that pairs Subaru's signature all-wheel drive with practical SUV styling, offering a range of gasoline, diesel, and hybrid options.
The Subaru XV engine lineup combines efficiency with the brand's all-wheel-drive confidence. A 1.6 gasoline unit works with a CVT for smooth urban driving, while a 2.0 gasoline pairs with the same transmission for more relaxed highway cruising. For those needing torque and economy, a 2.0 diesel is offered with a manual gearbox, and a hybrid version of the 2.0 gasoline uses a CVT to enhance fuel savings.
Subaru XV trim levels add comfort and convenience to the capable base. The 2.0 CVT gasoline model, for instance, can be found in CC and Active Edition configurations. These trims typically bring upgraded upholstery, infotainment features, and styling details, letting you tailor the car to everyday needs without altering its all-wheel-drive character.
