2021 Subaru XV 2.0i-S EyeSight Review

If you want the comfort and handling of a sedan, but worry a little bit about Manila's frequent floods, and horribly paved roads, then a crossover is your best bet. Not all crossovers are created equal though, and more importantly, not all are blessed by engineers to handle well. Thankfully, Subaru has endowed upon us a power and nimble little crossover in the form of the Subaru XV (aka. Subaru Crosstrek) with great handling brought about by its low-mounted boxer engine, good suspension, and whilst still providing adequate comfort, and ease of drive.

For the 2021 model year, the XV receives a bunch of minor exterior, and interior updates, as well as new drive modes, and features which will make your daily drive, and fun rides just a little bit more enjoyable.
