08:53 Verdict

You may have read or watched the reviews, but what's it like to actually live with the top-spec Subaru XV hybrid S? We ended up with one for six months giving us a chance to find out.

The hybrid S is Subaru's latest and greatest, but how did it compare to Tom's previous long termer, the Corolla ZR hybrid? There may be some surprises for better or worse.

We break our long term review down into the three things we liked the most about it, and the three things we didn't like so much over our time with it in the hope to give you a better picture of what it will be like to actually live with one.

We'll run you through where the XV sits in the market, before diving into our likes and dislikes, and overall leave you with an impression of whether this hybrid variant is worth the extra spend, or should you pick another option in the XV range if you're smitten with Subaru's all-wheel drive lifted hatch.

These long term tests give us a chance to rack up some serious kilometres, extract a long-term fuel consumption number, and make observations that usually only owners might find.

Make sure to check out the full long term review chronicle of where our XV hybrid S has been over its six months with us over on the CarsGuide site, and then check out the range review for a more comprehensive view of the XV range.
