    Doesn't look bad at all, but the Forester seems to make more sense due to its increased cargo capacity/luggage space. The XV can appeal to the customer who enjoy the "crossover-coupe" style, like the Ssangyong Actyon and the BMW X6, while the Forester is more conservative.

    why is it that none of their designs appeal to me at all? i thought this car would be an exception bec. the thread titles says it's tucson/sportage killer.

    oh well. pass.

    Thread title is misleading.

    Natural competitor of the Tucson and Sportage is the Forester.

    This one should be pitted up against the likes of the ASX and even the SX4.

    The Forester could also be quoted as a competitor of the Santa Fe and the Sorento. The XV actually seems to be a reasonable competitor against the Sportage, despite its small trunk.

    Agree with foresterx, Forester parin than XV. 2012 Impreza on steroids lang yan eh.

    And BTW, yung size ng Forester malayo sa SF at Sorento. Yung Tribeca competitor na ng CX-9 pero hindi naman ganun kalaki.

    VVT-i / i-VTEC / TFSi / Theta-II
    CRDi R-eVGT / DuraTORQ TDCi

    And since most SUV's and CUV's aren't driven off-road, then the Subie XV and Ford Ecosport would still compete under the same conditions: predominantly urban driving. Besides the XV press release says:
    the XV's product concept is that of "Urban Adventure" that means that it's suited for an "exciting, lively, yet stress-free use in the city."
    so I'm basing my observations on this.

    It can even be labeled as "Urban Adventure", but the XV still fares well above the average on unpaved terrains.

    Would actually be a better choice due to its better traction management.
