When crossovers and SUVs got their second wind on the market, automakers jumped on the opportunity to open the gates and flood each and every segment of the market with as many models as possible. But, some automakers have taken an interesting approach where they take a car body and throw it on a jacked-up body – a quick way to create new models without spending heaps of cash on research and design. The upcoming and next-gen Subaru XV is one of these models and, like the 2016 Subaru XV Concept, this production model will sport the body of the 2017 Subaru Impreza five-door with a raised suspension; just enough to make it appealing to the masses who, predominantly, love these high-riding people haulers a lot more than they probably should. So far, little is actually known about the XV, but given the silhouette shown in the first teaser image, it’s safe to assume that it won’t differ from the Impreza five-door outside of ride height and a few mechanical bits.
With that said, the new XV is set to make its official debut in Switzerland on March 7, 2017 at the Geneva Motor Show. So, let’s dive on in and take a closer look at the official teaser image and talk about what the production model will offer when it goes on sale later this year as a 2018 model.
