The 2022 XV had its clearest appeal where the mix of price, packaging, equipment and ownership confidence outweighed novelty. The relevant VFACTS line shows 9,090 Australian sales for the calendar year. That made it relevant to shoppers wanting a small SUV with Subaru traction and easy urban dimensions.
