The Subaru XV has been in continuous production since 2012, evolving through two main generations with a mid-life refresh around 2017. Early models carry straightforward laminated windscreens with basic features, while later variants from the mid-2010s onwards introduce heated windscreens, rain sensors, and solar-control glass to manage cabin temperature and visibility.
Subaru's EyeSight driver-assistance system, which uses a dual stereo camera mounted at the top of the windscreen, has been progressively integrated across the XV range. Later models equipped with EyeSight require static camera calibration after windscreen replacement to maintain lane-keeping and collision-avoidance accuracy.
