Subaru XV 2015

Motoring Crunch writes:

In January next-year, Subaru will be launching the next-generation XV Crosstrek. Yesterday, the Japanese carmaker revealed a lot on the upcoming Impreza and since the XV Crosstrek is its sibling, we can look forward to many similar features coming to the latter. Here are the things fans can expect coming to the next-gen XV Crosstrek.

1. Better sound insulation.
2. Upgraded interior materials.
3. More ground clearance.
4. Improved off-road capability.
5. More colour choices.
6. Tougher appearance and design.
7. Better fuel economy.
8. Better suspensions.
9. New centre stack.
10. Keyless Access system.

I'll take no. 7. Better fuel economy anytime, above all these other features/improvements.

The Sporty XV Made a Little Sportier

From Bangkok Post:

I say, the Subaru XV as is looks sporty already, and yet they're making it a little sportier? How cool is that? And is it really gonna be called Subaru XV STI?

Highest Safety Rating

New 2015 Subaru XV models immediately earn highest safety rating

And beginning with their 2014 models, Subaru improved occupant protection in small overlap crashes by improving all of their 2014 models structurally.

I just hope I don't get to test these safety features.

Shooting Time Lapse Aboard My Subaru XV

On my way to the office, I took a time-lapse video using the stock camera app of my iPhone running iOS 8, aboard Liana (my Subaru XV).

Wow! It seems like getting to my office, and actually parked, in 30 seconds? I wish that were true!

Average Fuel Consumption

Liana, my Subaru XV, is a little more than 3 months old today, and average fuel consumption for the last 3 months is pegged at an average 7.15 kilometers per liter (km/l). This was achieved on an estimated 20% highway and 80% city driving. Is it high or is it low? What about yours?

It's one of the objectives of this blog to post pictures of my Subaru XV that I named Liana. And these are a few of them.
