Subaru XV News

What is it? Subaru's XV is a high-riding compact soft-roader based on the Impreza platform; think smaller, sharper-looking Outback and you're on the money.

A decade and three children ago, I appreciated a car's looks. Now that I spend so much time trapped inside a vehicle with the kids, other features matter a whole lot more.

The Subaru XV, basically a raised Impreza, is one of the many unique cars on display this weekend at the Vancouver International Auto Show.

If the orange Subaru XV you see here looks familiar, it's because we've seen it before.

With so many automotive genres being bent these days, trying to sub-categorise the sub-categories gives me a headache.
