Subaru's popular compact crossover XV family is now expanding with the addition of Subaru XV Black Limited Edition. The model will be offered with either 2.0-litre Boxer diesel engine mated to a six-speed manual transmission or 2.0-litre Boxer petrol unit coupled with a Lineartronic automatic transmission.

The exterior of this Limited Edition is decided in Crystal Black Silica paint, but what is more here is that the SUV offers also a range of one-of-a-kind visual additions that enhance the its rugged appeal.

To be more precise, these include front, rear and side silver-resin underguards, front and rear mudflaps, a cargo step panel and a foldable cargo tray. The interior of the car was also refined via the heavy-duty rubber floor mats.
