SYDNEY: Subaru has dropped the prices of its XV small SUV by $1250 for 2015, after already reducing prices of the previous model by $750 in January.
These reductions follow the recent arrival of stiff competition like the Mazda CX-3, Honda HR-V and Renault Captur in the booming small SUV segment.
This brings a new XV starting price of $26,490 for the entry-level 2.0i. The mid-level 2.0i-L is now priced from $29,990, while the top-spec 2.0i-S starts at $32,490.
The 2015 update also brings updated trim to the cabin, as well as new touchscreen multimedia system.
The entry-level 2.0i model now features a 6.2-inch touchscreen, while the 2.0i-L and 2.0i-S receive a 7-inch unit and an updated information display for the driver.
The 2015 Subaru XV retains its 110kW/196Nm 2.0-litre four-cylinder boxer petrol engine, as well the choice of six-speed manual or CVT automatic transmissions powering all four wheels.
