Quick Look

The 2015 Subaru XV Crosstrek is a small hatchback that resembles a compact crossover, delivering a solid engine, neat features and a comfortable cabin. The only engine on offer is a 2.0-litre “boxer” four-cylinder, which can produce 148 horsepower and 145 pound-feet of torque, which is not bad, considering how much fuel it saves. When equipped with the continuously variable automatic transmission, the economy ratings are 10.7 litres per 100 kilometres in the city and 8.3 litres per 100 kilometres on the highway.




Full Review

The 2015 Subaru XV Crosstrek is a-crossover-but-not-quite type of vehicle, though the automaker classifies it as a small hatchback. It’s actually based on the Impreza, but it provides a higher ground clearance and beefier overall appearance. The highlights of the vehicle include a solid list of features and comfortable cabin. We also like the engine and standard all-wheel drive. There’s a hybrid version of the vehicle as well, but we discuss it in a separate review. Now let’s take a look as to what kind of goodies this vehicle brings to the table.

In terms of visual design, the Subaru XV Crosstrek is very similar to the Subaru Impreza, which isn’t really a problem, but worth pointing out anyway. The aggressive SUV touches make it seem slightly beefier than your typical hatchback – just like the 8.7-inch ride height and dark-grey wheel well trim. As a result, it’s off-roady and rugged, making it easier to traverse tough terrains without causing major paint damage. In addition, the vehicle’s body panels are covered in rugged plastic, which provides additional protection against various encounters on unpaved roads.

Inside, the 2015 XV Crosstrek SUV shares most of its features with the newest Subaru Impreza, including the upgrades. A major highlight of the new vehicle is the infotainment system called Starlink, which successfully delivers on user friendliness and app obtainability, making this Subaru far more competitive than before. The navigation system is recommendable is well, which wasn’t always the case for Subaru. Everything else is the same, however – the rear seats are big enough for adults, but they don’t approach the levels of an actual crossover. As such, it may be better to fold them flat to achieve up to 52 cubic feet of cargo space. And let’s not forget about the dashboard’s wonderful centre stack, with its user-friendly controls and a useful lower storage compartment where you can store your smartphone and other small objects.

Under the hood, the XV Crosstrek features a 2.0-litre horizontally-opposed “boxer” four-cylinder engine that produces 148 horsepower and 145 pound-feet of torque. It’s connected to a standard five-speed manual transmission, but if you prefer automatics, then you can go for the available continuously variable transmission (CVT). All-wheel drive is standard across all models. But, while premium models with a manual gearbox have an all-wheel-drive system with a 50/50 front/rear power distribution, automatic transmissions have an adaptive system that automatically sends power to the wheels with the most grip. Fuel economy ratings are not bad, especially if you connect the engine to the CVT transmission. If you do so, you will be able to save 10.7 litres per 100 kilometres in the city and 8.3 litres per 100 kilometres on the highway.

Overall, the 2015 Subaru XV Crosstrek is a superb little hatchback that also happens to be off-road ready. So, if you like traversing ragged terrains, but you are not quite ready to invest into a full-blown SUV, then this may just be the car you need.

Power and Performance:

The Subaru XV Crosstrek is essentially an Impreza hatchback that's been raised considerably, given bigger wheels and tires, a larger gas tank, and bigger front brakes--plus assorted reinforcements and strengthening to make it tougher in off-road conditions. It is available with the same 2.0-liter engine as the Impreza, as well as with Subaru's first hybrid system.

Two transmissions are available--a five-speed manual gearbox or Subaru's continuously variable transmission (CVT), which remains one of our favorite of the breed--and the all-wheel-drive hardware varies accordingly. Manual Crosstreks come with a viscous-coupling all-wheel-drive system with locking center differential, while CVT versions come with an electronically managed continuously variable transfer-clutch system. Both send power to the wheels with the most grip, but the manual-gearbox version provides a more direct, connected driving feel.

Interiors and Special Features:

The 2015 Subaru XV Crosstrek SUV features the same upgrades that came to the newest Subaru Impreza. Front and center is an improved infotainment system called Starlink that emphasizes apps and user friendliness, putting this little Subaru on more competitive footing, and letting us recommend the navigation system. Otherwise it's mostly the same, with rear seats that are sufficiently big for adults, but may be better used when folded flat for nearly 52 cubic feet of cargo space. The dashboard's center stack is home to user-friendly controls and a handy lower storage compartment for mobile phones and other small items.
