The 2.0i Premium sits on the third rung up in the second-generation MY18 XV range and lists for $32,140.
Standard features include an eight-inch touchscreen with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, sat nav, Bluetooth connectivity, a six-speaker sound system with CD player, cruise control, dual-zone climate control, engine stop start system, X-Mode traction system, tinted rear glass, rear spoiler, 17-inch alloy wheels, two 12 volt power jacks, two USB ports, push-button ignition, premium cloth seats and an electric sun roof.
The new generation Australian XV doesn’t come with a manual gear box, instead buyers will have to go with the CVT automatic now on all cars. All XVs also have the same engine – it’s a four-cylinder petrol which is an overhauled version of the previous one which makes five more kW than the model for a total of 115kW and the same 196Nm of torque as before.
