Overall rating 4.5/5Entering into the busy compact SUV class meant that the Subaru XV immediately hit established contenders like the Nissan Qashqai. However, what the Subaru was able to offer - four-wheel-drive on all models - meant that it could go further off the beaten track than your typical crossover.
With a sturdy interior and an impressive suite of safety features, the XV is a quirky alternative for drivers who need a more go-anywhere option.
