Subaru XV Hybrid tS
Subaru Tecnica International has started
taking pre-orders for the new XV Hybrid tS, set to go on sale locally this
fall.
Priced from 3,226,400 Yen (US$ 30,599), the
SUV is based on the standard XV Hybrid and adds orange highlights on the
exterior, which can be seen on the front spoiler lip, side skirts, roof spoiler
and 17-inch aluminum wheels. The vehicle also features dark grey grille, black
side mirror casings and special STI and tS badging, and it can be had in
Crystal White Pearl, Crystal Black Silica and Hyper Blue body colors.
Open the door and you will find the same
orange theme on the door armrests and seats, while the latter also feature
embossed STI logo and come equipped with heating capabilities in the front.
Orange stitching is also part of the package, along with beige door trim, piano
black instrument panel and side sill plates with STI logo.
The
Subaru XV Hybrid tS benefits from flexible tower bar, flexible draw stiffener,
strut suspension and coil springs at the front and dampers and coil springs at
the rear. Power comes from a 2.0-liter DOHC Boxer engine, rated at 150 PS and 196 Nm of torque, aided by an electric motor; the output is
channeled to all four wheels through a CVT transmission.
