  • Geneva Debuting Subaru XV Concept Previews Future Design Direction

    Subaru XV Concept Front ViewSubaru XV Concept that was teased last month via exclusive images is finally being revealed at the Geneva Motor Show. As you already know from the previous news about the XV Concept crossover, it actually previews the design direction for the next generation vehicles of the brand. Of course, it is the preview-form of the new XV compact crossover.

    To go into details, the XV Concept embodies Subaru’s new ‘DYNAMIC X SOLID’ design philosophy. This includes solid, robust appearance and raised ground clearance and of course, the All-Wheel Drive capability that is famous for the vehicles of the brand. The sides of the model are sleek, mimicking a normal car but at the same time staying a true crossover.

    The muscular body and forms are sized 4.520mm in length, 1.920mm in width, 1.570mm in height and a wheelbase of 2.670mm. These dimensions speak of added practicality. The surfaces of the body are divided by two strong character lines. The first one extends from the front bumper, along the doors and into the rear shoulder, while the second one rises from the lower half of the doors towards the rear of the car.

    The front end includes Subaru’s signature hexagonal grille and ‘hawk-eye’ headlamps, matt black body cladding running from the front bumper and going over the wheel arches, and speaking of the sides there are side sills tat flow into the rear bumper. The back of the crossover concept is wide, low and stable and matt black-clad rear bumpers and combination lamps with the same design motif as the ‘hawk-eye’ headlamps.

    The paint finish you see here is specifically developed for the concept and is called ‘Glacier Khaki Silica’. Contrasting orange accents appear on the grille, front and rear bumpers, 19-inch aluminium wheels and roof rails. At last, the alloys were fitted with tires sized at 245/50 R19.

  • Futuristic Subaru XV Concept with World Premiere in Geneva

    Subaru XV Concept TeaserSubaru XV Concept is going to be premiered at the Geneva Motor Show in March. The news was just officially released by Japanese brand with a preview picture of the front of the new concept model. It is visible that it has a little to do with the production XV (the one featured in the news feed yesterday) and shows more futuristic take on the standard for the XV crossover design.

    To make a promotion of the car, Subaru is also releasing a webspecial site, dedicated to the concept and everything happening at the Geneva Motor Show, which has been already opened and can be now visited. It features information regarding the Geneva Motor Show and allows everyone to watch “live” Subaru’s press conference.

    The XV Concept will probably serve as a basis to a future next generation XV. Although we don’t see much from the design of the teaser image, we are quite happy to find the modern interpretation of the front. And hopefully, Subaru won’t change a thing in the production variant.

    In addition, Subaru confirmed that the XV will also ride on the same platform used for the Impreza. There is nothing said on the engine, but the concept is likely to be a hybrid or to exploit some new sort of updated engine in terms of efficiency and fumes. For example, a downsized engine is a possible variant.

    If we are lucky, we will have more information about the new XV Concept days ahead of the Geneva International Motor Show. Speaking of which, its 86th annual edition opens for public on March 3rd and continues until 13th. The Subaru XV Concept will be unveiled at a press conference on March 1, which you can view online.
