With its black plastic trim, raised suspension and 185mm of ground clearance, the XV is clearly not your average Impreza – but, unlike others in the class such as the VW Polo Cross and Nissan’s Livina X-Gear who pretend to be off-road vehicles, the Subaru also actually has all-wheel drive.
Subaru has revealed a new generation of Impreza for the 2011 model year, Subaru Impreza XV. The XV offers the Impreza’s original and distinctive symmetrical All-Wheel Drive (SAWD) driveability in all-weather road conditions which is packaged in a new exterior.
