Staying close to the concept, the production-spec Subaru XV has arrived in Singapore.


Straight-up, you'll still be faced with the boxy looks. No swoopy rooflines and eye-pleasing curves - just the good 'ole 3 box design. Like the Range Rover we reviewed earlier, this fine example has been face-lifted with some snazzy LED daytime running lights and more LED business in the rear. Not quite our cup of tea for a vehicle which you can drive through a flood, but driving along a posh shopping belt means plenty of attention – may it be flooded or not.

First up: The looks. The Range Rover Sport is still as big and imposing, even though we noticed several “softer” features. The grille has been replaced with a less prominent two-bar design instead of the older three. The lights still maintain their shape, but the front lamps have been updated with a ring of LEDs that form the daytime running lights, while the lights in the rear get a subtle work-over.

The Special Stages (SS) challenged the driving and recovery skills in the two classes of competitor teams (Modified and Special) to the maximum as they shake, rattled and rolled their machines.

On the second day, the action shifted to the banks of the Isonzo river and the hills of Farra. It was time for very technical maneuvers which required nerves of steel even from the most seasoned teams, but everyone was on full throttle with passion and played out the SS with true grit.
