Subaru XV Concept – 2011 Frankfurt Motor Show

At the 2011 Frankfurt Motor Show, Subaru unleashed their much anticipated 2012 Subaru XV concept. Part Outback, part Impreza, this crossover / wagon will be the next edition to the Japanese auto maker’s line up.

Not one, not two, but three different boxer engine options will be available starting next year for the vehicle. Choices are rumored to include a 1.6 liter and 2.0 liter gasoline engine, along with additional 2.0 liter diesel powerplant, even in North America!

Each features fuel sipping start/stop technology, matted to the Lineartronic continuously variable transmission. All aluminum wheels and new suspension help boost XV up to an 8.6 inch clearance underneath.

Subaru says the interior on XV is “luxurious” and “perfectly balances the different tactile and emotional qualities of leather, metal, and cloth.”
