The all-new 2017 Subaru XV has been teased ahead of its global debut at the Geneva motor show in March.

THE ALL-NEW 2017 Subaru XV has been teased via a dimly lit profile shot and will be revealed in full at the Geneva Motor Show in early March. It will arrive in Australia later this year.

Subaru didn’t make any additional statements about the new XV, but we can expect it to run the same engine and CVT arrangement as the Impreza and, like the Impreza it is based on Subaru’s new platform architecture, so we can expect ride and handling improvements.

Like the current XV, we can expect to see design departures for the new XV around the front and rear of the vehicle. The teaser image suggests, the new car will get the trademark roof rails and higher ride height as well as the body cladding down the side. We’ve lightened one of the images, but it doesn’t reveal much more.

Question: Are you looking forward to the new XV. If you were thinking about buying an Impreza, would you wait to buy the XV?
