Freedom is in Our DNA SUBARU XV- BROCHURE (Dec) | Page 11

optimised performance The Subaru XV boasts the type of precision performance that has been over 50 years in the making. It is the culmination of everything that Subaru has learnt since building its very first vehicle. The subAru XV combines all the best of Subaru’s legendary technologies, including Vehicle Dynamics Control, horizontally-opposed Boxer engine and Symmetrical All-wheel Drive. Then they added an impressive 220mm ground clearance1 to create a vehicle with serious SUV ability. Subaru XV’s impressive and lively acceleration is delivered from a combination of Subaru’s third generation Boxer engine and the compact and light weight Lineartronic™ CVT (Continuously Variable Transmission). This CVT has been optimised to couple seamlessly with the Boxer engine and chassis to deliver highly responsive acceleration, improved drivability and higher fuel efficiency. The six-speed manual Subaru XV transmission also delivers excellent fuel efficiency and smooth shift quality. Together with the high performance Boxer engine, Subaru’s fuel-saving Auto Stop Start technology, takes petrol engine efficiency to a new level while meeting EURO5 emission standards. The Auto Stop Start function contributes to efficiency by saving fuel normally consumed while the engine is idling, while stopped in heavy traffic or at traffic lights. The system works by automatically stopping the engine and then restarting it in a fraction of a second – with no driver intervention needed. The actual fuel savings delivered by this system can then be monitored using the Multi-Function Display that shows cumulative travel time, engine stop time and fuel saved. >  ISCOVER THE Performance at subaru.com.au D TOP TO BOTTOM: > Steering wheel cruise controls. > Heated front seat switches2. > Sports pedals2. >  Paddle gear shift (CVT models only). 1.
