Design and Features:
The Subaru SVX features a bold and futuristic design with its signature “window-within-a-window” layout, which provides a sleek and aerodynamic profile. The interior is equally impressive, with leather upholstery, a driver-focused cockpit, and advanced technology for its time, including a premium sound system and automatic climate control.
Practicality and Versatility:
While the SVX is primarily a sports coupe, it offers decent practicality for its class. The front seats are spacious and comfortable, making long drives enjoyable. The rear seats, though more suitable for short trips or additional storage, add to its versatility. The boot space is adequate for a coupe, allowing for weekend luggage or daily errands.
Performance and Power:
The Subaru SVX is powered by a 3.3-litre flat-six engine, delivering robust performance with smooth power delivery. Paired with an all-wheel-drive system, the SVX offers excellent handling and stability, making it a joy to drive on both highways and winding roads. Its automatic transmission, though unconventional for a sports coupe, provides seamless shifts and complements its grand touring nature.
Driving Experience
The driving experience in the Subaru SVX is one of its highlights. The vehicle’s low centre of gravity and precise steering make it agile and responsive, while the suspension is tuned to balance comfort and sporty handling. The cabin remains quiet at high speeds, enhancing the overall driving pleasure.
Models Introduced to Australia
The Subaru SVX was introduced to the Australian market in limited numbers, making it a rare and sought-after vehicle. It was offered with a high level of standard equipment, reflecting its position as a premium model within Subaru’s range.
