斯巴鲁在去年日内瓦车展发布了XV概念车,车厂将在今年日内瓦车展发布其量产版车型。该车趣图近日曝光,这款车在北美以外市场将作为XV销售。与其他概念车变成量产车后锐气全无不同,Crosstrek仍将忠实的保留概念车的外观设计并将具备运动和粗犷双重风格。虽然这张趣图并不能透露什么,但可以看出车辆整体形状和宽阔,低矮的车身姿态没有改变,甚至概念车性感的双色合金轮圈也保留了下来。不过,概念车时尚的侧后视镜以及与车门集成在一起的车门把手被拿掉了,替代它的是更传统的设计。斯巴鲁仍不愿透露该车规格,但已经有消息称该车与2017款翼豹基于同一平台,将为这款紧凑车型带来“具有世界级水平的安全性”。预计该车将配备车厂标志性的左右对称全轮驱动并结合新版本的2.0升水平对置引擎。最新一代斯巴鲁EyeSight辅助驾驶技术和Starlink信息娱乐系统也将出现在这款车上。斯巴鲁在上周蒙特利尔车展也发布了XV概念车,车厂承诺“概念车侵略性设计语言将铁定保留在Crosstrek量产车型上”,而从这张趣图上看,确实如此。
Next-gen Subaru Crosstrek teased for Geneva world debut
Exactly a year after Subaru revealed the XV Concept at the 2016 Geneva Motor Show, the Japanese brand will introduce the production version of the vehicle at the same automotive event in March. Attached here are the first teaser images of the Crosstrek, sold outside North America as the XV.
Thankfully, unlike many other concepts morphing into production models, the Crosstrek will remain faithful to the study's design and will feature the same mix of sportiness and ruggedness. The available photos are not quite revealing, but you don’t have to be a car guru to see the overall shape and the wide and low stance are unchanged - and even the sexy two-tone wheels resemble the alloys of the concept. Gone are the stylish side mirrors and door handles integrated into the door – all making room for more conventional details.
Subaru remains tight-lipped about the crossover’s specifications, but we already know it will be based on the platform of the new 2017 Impreza, which will bring “new levels of world-class safety” to the compact crossover segment. Expect to see the manufacturer’s trademarked symmetrical all-wheel drive system combined with a refreshed version of the 2.0-liter Boxer engine of the current model. The latest generations of Subaru’s EyeSight assistant technology and Starlink infotainment system are also expected to find a place in the 2018 Crosstrek.
Last week, Subaru also displayed the XV Concept in Canada at the 2017 Montreal Auto Show, confirming “the aggressive design language in the concept will definitely be the way Subaru goes when the production Crosstrek version comes out.” Thankfully, this statement is true, judging by the teaser images.
