I've been driving the XV for a year now and I love it! Great driving comfort, excellent handling (it's a heavy car, so stays planted on the road), spacious seats, good interiors.
Decided on it after checking out Vezel, Qashqai and test driving Mazda 3, Corolla, Vitara & Elantra. While Mazda 3 had the best drive, I felt the XV ticked many more boxes.
The overall drive is very engaging. The car feels very sturdy and stable on the road. I've taken bends at 70+ km/h without feeling any slip of control. The engine is sometimes slow to respond to sudden acceleration, but makes up for it quickly (I guess this is CVT at work and also due to the weight of the car).
Fuel efficiency is not the best, but not bad at all. I drive almost 1,500 km per month and manage about 12 km/l.
Interiors are quite good and all the buttons and knobs are easy to understand. It has all the standard features that most cars offer nowadays, except the electronic parking brake button and electric seats. Those are 'nice to have' for me, but that's a personal choice. Voice response system could be better.
The seats are spacious and comfortable. 3 people can sit very comfortably on the rear seat. Boot space is not very large, but can easily fit 2 big suitcases. The 60:40 rear seat split gives very flexible boot space management.
Overall, this car is a very good buy and you won't regret it. In my opnion, it's the best value for money in the CAT A SUV segment.

I was looking around for a compact SUV, shortlisted a few including the popular Honda vezel. Then I came across Subaru XV, decided to head down to the showroom as I was staying nearby. First impression was pretty impressive. When for a test drive and the handling was amazing.

Good handing and good sound insulation `

Try out Honda Vezel, Nissan Qashqai and XV before i decide on XV.Test drive all of them. The difference as below;
Vezel = Godd FC, Good pickup but lost out on space and sound insulation.
Qashqai = premium look and feel, interior and style nice, lost out on turbo lag and ride comfort.
XV= nice interior, good ride comfort, noise insulation and handing compare to the other 2. But lost out on FC
if your like a comfort ride and good handing. XV is the one but not for FC.

No power hence need to rev engine up to 3500rpm to get it to overtake other cars or accelerate.
Backseat up straight hence may not be ideal for long rides
Unsuitable for drivers who use the ns highway.
Fc is very high as most drivers may rev it to high rpms,hope that there will be a turbocharged version comes out.
Was told that subaru parts are extremely expensive.
If you are looking some suvs like the xv, please seriously consider the mit asx for its reliability and amount of horses under the hood
