There continues to be indirect lighting in the side doors and ceiling in the production vehicle, providing soft ambient light at night. The instrument panel in the concept vehicle offered displays from eight monitors, providing excellent visibility around the vehicle, and also housed a clear blue multi-display zone. The rear seatbacks incorporate fold-down tray tables, similar to those on airplanes. Seats in the concept vehicle were upholstered in leather and trimmed in pearl white and blue. The vehicle boasts a supersize panoramic glass roof and theater-style seating, with rear passengers sitting a little higher than those in front. The Exiga name itself was taken from two unrelated Subaru concept cars: the Alpha Exiga from 1995 and the Exiga from 1997. According to the Japanese Subaru press introduction materials, the name "Exiga" is a neologism combination of the words "exciting" and "active". The Subaru Exiga ( Japanese: スバル・エクシーガ, Subaru Ekushīga) is a mid-size MPV that debuted as a concept car during the 2007 Tokyo Motor Show.

Keep it in the Intelligent setting, squeeze the throttle rather than stamp on it and you get a much more relaxed experience, the electric motor working in harmony with the petrol engine rather than being shouted down. Known in the jargon as a ‘CVT’, these can leave the engine revs feeling disconnected from the amount of forward progress you’re getting, and there’s still some of that clamour if you select the ‘S’ mode. The standard automatic gearbox was also a concern, given the way it works. And this, rather than plug-in charging and the ability to cruise for meaningful distances on electric power alone, is clearly Subaru’s focus. Rather than a rush of boost this manifests as a discreet electrical kick to the throttle, the XV picking up more enthusiastically than the numbers on the specification suggest. But, in truth, the technology does a similar job and helps boost the performance of the 2.0-litre petrol engine at its core in much the same way. Nor do you have to understand the mechanical intricacies of Subaru’s trademark ‘boxer’ engine layout and its partnership with the smooth hybrid system to appreciate its refinement compared with more conventional petrols or diesels.įans of old-school Imprezas with big wings and bonnet scoops inspired by Subaru’s 90s rallying successes may be glum at the thought of turbos being replaced by hybrid systems. It’s also got a nice balance between the soft, bump gobbling suspension of a traditional off-roader and the precise body control of the more conventional hatchback it resembles, underlining the fact this is a true crossover in substance rather than just style. On the flipside for all the crossover stance it feels usefully compact for threading along the narrow, twisty lanes the target audience will likely be driving on. It’s a little tighter in the back given the big hump in the middle of the floor for the four-wheel drive system and a relatively small boot thanks to the hybrid battery.

That’s true to the brand values, though, and driver and front-seat passenger are well catered for. Subarus tended to feel a bit cheap and plasticky inside but this updated XV thankfully feels more substantial in its top leather-lined trim, albeit still a bit old-school and not especially fancy.
