Bold new vehicle, classic Subaru qualities
WHENEVER
Although the Subaru XV Crosstrek Hybrid is an all-new vehicle, it possesses the
same qualities that have made Subaru vehicles more popular with each passing
year. Greater focus on improving fuel efficiency and reducing emissions has not
meant losing focus on class-leading driving dynamics, advanced safety systems
and go-anywhere capability.
The Subaru hybrid drivetrain generates incredible smoothness, fuel efficiency
and responsiveness. Subaru symmetrical full-time AWD delivers superior control
under all circumstances. And the wide range of safety systems, including the
Ring-Shaped Reinforcement Frame, Vehicle Dynamics Control (VDC) and
rollover sensor, inspire unsurpassed confidence at all times.
In balance, out of the ordinary
Adding an electric motor and a battery pack to the Subaru XV
Crosstrek has meant extra time at the drawing board for the
engineers. The goal was to maintain the same weight distribution and
the same low centre of gravity, while also fine-tuning the suspension
system. The result: The Subaru hybrid drivetrain and Subaru
symmetrical full-time AWD combine to create a surprisingly nimble,
stable and spirited driving experience, regardless of road conditions.

Start
Motor assist
Pressing the push-button
start fires up the SUBARU
BOXER engine and prepares
the Hybrid System for
optimal performance
right from the get-go.
The electric motor and the
SUBARU BOXER engine work
in perfect harmony when
accelerating and cruising
at speeds under 42 km/h to
provide the driving force;
together, they produce
a quicker and more fuelefficient response than a
similar displacement
engine alone.

This fuel-saving technology
sees the gas engine stop
when it’s at rest with the
brake pedal applied. The
engine starts again when
the brakes are released.
