Subaru XV 2022: a crossover with full off-road potential.

Leading analysts predict crossover cars to be in stable demand for the next few years.

Perhaps that’s why the Japanese brand Subaru has implemented a restyling of the all-wheel-drive crossover all-terrain vehicle, which is already being advertised as the Subaru XV 2022 in a short time.

During the modernization, the novelty has increased in size and moved to a new platform, updated the performance characteristics of the engine range, and received new technological and design solutions in the exterior design.

Exterior

At the base of the body design Subaru XV series of the second generation laid the latest corporate concept, which in translation means «a combination of dynamics and integrity.»

Nevertheless, experts have managed to fully preserve the recognizable details of the classic brand style. The new version of the all-wheel-drive crossover provides a full-face view:

ribbed side profiles of the sloped hood;
The radiator trapeze decorated with black glossy grid and chrome-plated brand logo;
aggressive squint of the powerful optics with LED fittings, complete with C-shaped headlights.

The lower segment of the sports front end is designed in an exclusive manner. There are compact bumper dimensions, the air intake grid integrated into the high plastic dodger, and a massive diagonal of the protective panel.

Entourage frontal plane harmoniously complements the fog lights installed in the side diffusers.

According to eyewitnesses, the new 2022 Subaru cross model is not inferior to its prestigious and presentable counterparts in the higher price range in terms of visual perception.

From a profile perspective, the body carries recognizable elements of the sporty layout. Dynamic, streamlined contour of roof falling down to the back glazing, dark matting of window perimeter and wide vertical struts, interestingly designed mirrors and moderate amount of stepped-wave side reliefs are presented on the photo.

The reality of the all-terrain potential of the post-reform crossover is evident:

In the square configuration of the wheel arches and the reinforced design of the 17-inch rims;
in the high body fit;
compact format of overhangs and the presence of massive protective plastic on the lower contours of the body.

In the layout and design features of the stern: the side racks of the window spoiler visor, branded graphics of the parking lights, high threshold of the embossed trunk door, wide bumper, a diagonal protective panel and black plastic frames of the fog lights.

In the general opinion of experts, in the configuration of the model Subaru XV 2022, the company prepares the basis for the development of technically and technologically advanced continuators of the branded lineup.

excellent informativeness and readability of the analog, in the basic configuration of the crossover, dashboard;
rich command functionality of the touchpad media display and placed on the steering wheel mechanical activators of several options;
a set of diffusers and a dashboard with washers to adjust the interior microclimate.
