This latest crossover car from the brand will be offered here with a 2.0 turbo diesel engine, and priced around €34,500.
The XV has just been awarded the maximum five-star safety rating in the latest round of Euro NCAP safety performance tests.
The XV benefits from the brand's symmetrical 4WD and Subaru's version of ESP, Vehicle Dynamics Control, provides greater stability through the use of sensors throughout the 4WD system.
Subaru expect the XV to appeal to young families as well as to professionals. Subaru are currently taking the only XV here at the moment to visit their 12 authorised dealerships around the country to show the car to potential customers.
The car will compete against the Range Rover Evoque, Audi Q3 and BMW X1.
