| 15-09-2011 at 07:00: Subaru XV Delivers Fun in Frankfurt | |
|
Drawing on the theme of “urban adventure” Fuji Heavy Industries (FHI), the maker of Subaru vehicles, has focused the XV on fun, producing an exciting, lively car with stand-out, sleek design and smart style. Nick Senior, Managing Director, Subaru Australia, said: “XV offers a clear indication of Subaru’s design direction from now on. “There’s lots of great new Subaru technology in this sub compact SUV, making it a real fun machine. “It delivers the driving feel and handling that only the latest Subaru symmetrical All-Wheel Drive platform can, as well as the latest Boxer engine, offering significant fuel efficiency and emission improvements. “XV also has the newest manual and auto transmission technology, and there’s a new approach to cabin finishes, with incredible attention to detail on soft-touch surfaces, switch gear and instruments. “Combine that with our customers’ favourite Subaru qualities of All-Wheel Drive, durability, safety and retained value, and XV represents a formidable package. “We’ll look forward to bringing more XV news to Australia very soon.” FHI designers have produced an attractive, aerodynamic and sporty exterior while inside, the extended wheelbase – in combination with A-pillars positioned further forward – produces a significant sense of space. There’s great room for rear-seat occupants, who also benefit from large open foot areas beneath the front seats. Shoulder and legroom are also maximized by compact internal door structure design. Seats are designed to mold themselves securely to the occupant’s body and feature supportive flat-mat springs. Low resilience urethane cushioning also helps absorb driving vibrations. Child seat anchor points are built into the rear seat backs, with zero intrusion into the cargo area. Large door openings make for easy entry and exit. All XVs feature Multi-Function Displays, with range-topping versions adding a larger screen and comprehensive information suite. MFDs across the range include a fuel efficiency indicator to aid economic driving. * PLEASE NOTE: All information is based on FHI European specifications XV SPECIFICATIONS TypeCylinders Displacement Bore x stroke Compression ratio Cam-train system Fuel system Maximum power Maximum torque Horizontally opposed, naturally aspirated Four 1995 cc 90 x 84 10.5 DOHC 16 valve Multi Point Sequential Injection 110 kW/6200 rpm 196 Nm/4200 rpm Transmission – NA six-speed manual First 3.545 Second 1.888 Third 1.296 Fourth 0.972 Fifth 0.780 Sixth 0.695 Reverse 3.636 Final reduction 4.444Exterior dimensions and weight Overall length mm 4450 Overall width mm 1780 Overall height mm 1570 Wheelbase mm 2635 Tread – front mm 1525 Tread – rear mm 1525 Min. ground clearance mm 220 Kerb weight kg:XV 2.0i manual XV 2.0i Lineartronic™ CVT 1370 1400 Fuel Fuel consumption (L/100km) combined:XV 2.0i manual XV 2.0i Lineartronic™ CVT 6.9 6.6 Carbondioxide (g/km): XV 2.0i manual XV 2.0i Lineartronic™ CVT 160 153 Fuel tank capacity 60 litres Steering, brakes, tyres & towing Steering Pinion assist type electric power Turning circle (metres) 5.3 Suspension:Front Rear MacPherson strut-type Double wishbone-type Brakes (mm): Front Rear Ventilated discs Discs Tyres: 225/55 R17 x 7 J Rim: 17-inch alloy Towing capacity (kg): 1600 (manual) 1200 (auto)
