Drive type | |||
| Wheel drive type: | All wheel drive (AWD, 4x4) | Front wheel drive (FWD) | |
| Ground clearance: | 220 mm (8.7 inches) | 172 mm (6.8 inches) | |
| Because of the higher ground clearance, Subaru XV can perform better on bad roads - it can go over higher obstacles and bumps. At the same time, the higher ground clearance can reduce stability and handling on paved roads, especially at higher speeds. | |||
Engines | |||
| Engine production duration: | 16 years | 9 years | |
| Engine spread: | Installed on at least 3 other car models, including Subaru Forester, Subaru Impreza, Subaru Legacy | Installed on at least 3 other car models, including Hyundai Sonata, Hyundai i40, Kia Optima | |
