Series II XV

Subaru Australia dropped prices on its XV small SUV range in May 2015.

Already the benefit of cuts in 2014 on the back of the Japan-Australia free-trade agreement, the entire XV line-up was now $2000 cheaper across the board than it was in December 2014.

In line with the Impreza on which the XV is based, infotainment systems across the range were upgraded. The entry-level 2.0i scored a 6.2-inch touchscreen-based system, while the L and S variants were fitted with a 7.0-inch touchscreen system incorporating satellite-navigation.

Additional interior tweaks to the base car included the addition of a pair of five-volt USB ports for rear seat passengers, and improved steering wheel switchgear.
