A new Subaru XV Crossover concept has been revealed in Geneva just as Subaru SA has introduced a facelifted version of the XV crossover.

This is an exaggerated preview of where the design of the next production model will be heading. The concept has a taller ride height, chunky 19-inch wheels and a new paint finish called ‘Glacier Khaki Silica’ with added orange accents on the body trim.

In concept form the XV is 70mm longer than the current car at 4 520mm, 140mm wider at 1 920mm and 45mm lower, while riding on a 35mm extended wheelbase.

It never felt like it was working hard, and after 2 400 kilometres, neither did I.
