2023 Subaru XV review

With a new generation on the way, the current Subaru XV makes a solid case for itself as a reliable, no-nonsense small SUV buy.

Pros

Well sized and priced
2.0i-S ticks most feature boxes
All-round competence

Cons

Gruff engine on cold start, under load
Annoying EyeSight beeps and bongs
Small boot

2021 Subaru XV Hybrid S review

Subaru's most expensive XV is a solid little SUV let down by a hybrid powertrain that feels a generation old.

2021 Subaru XV 2.0i Premium review

The Subaru XV is a solid small SUV, and the 2.0i Premium is a solid mid-range spec... if you can look past a few strange omissions.

2020 Subaru XV Hybrid Review

Subaru's XV remains a solid option in a busy segment, but the Hybrid simply doesn't measure up to its price premium over lower-spec versions.
