Subaru Hybrid Drive + Boxer engine This potent combination packs enough power to be highly entertaining around town or out on the open road—it’s also quieter, quicker and more fuelefficient than the average AWD compact crossover. + S-AWD Hybrid drivetrain City: 6.9L / 100km Highway: 6.0L / 100km Combined: 6.5L / 100km The Subaru XV Crosstrek Hybrid is equipped with the brand new Subaru hybrid drivetrain — a 148-hp 2.0L 4-cylinder SUBARU BOXER engine linked to a 13.5-horsepower electric motor and a Lineartronic® Continuously Variable Transmission (CVT). Engine driving below 80 km/h Engine driving above 80 km/h After sustained acceleration or long periods of urban driving, the SUBARU BOXER engine provides all the driving force and recharges the battery at the same time. When the battery pack is fully charged or when driving at speeds of over 80 km/h the SUBARU BOXER engine provides all the driving force and produces impressive power while burning fuel most efficiently. Regeneration EV mode Park When coasting or decelerating, the kinetic energy regeneration system recaptures energy from the turning wheels to recharge the battery pack, extending the EV driving range. Under gentle acceleration and while driving at less than 42 km/h, the electric motor draws power from the battery pack to provide all the driving force. This mode works well in urban environments and when driving slowly in parking lots, the times when gasoline-powered vehicles are particularly inefficient. Once you’ve reached your destination, your vehicle operates like any other. Simply put your vehicle in park and press the pushbutton start to turn the engine off.
