As much detail as I could eke out:



You can definitely see that there are some additional fender flares added on there, below the flaring of the body itself.

Yeah, that looks really similar. Now I just hope that they don't turn it into a paint stripe on the production version, like the current OBS...

The current Outback and Forester both have optional wheel arch moldings that look a lot like that.

How does the length and height of this compare to the current outback?

Can someone overlay a picture of the current outback on top?

It's much smaller. This is the size of the current Impreza 5 door but a couple of inches wider and a few inches taller because of the raised suspension and big wheels on the XV Concept. Think about the size of a Toyota Matrix/Pontiac Vibe but an inch or two wider. So it's not as big a car as the photo makes it look.

I'm surprised that no one has gone and posted what the current 2011 XV looks like in comparison to the current Impreza:



The Aussies get these instead of the Outback Sport.

Some places they come with the 2 liter Turbo Diesel.

Eek, that pick reminds of how bad the current Impreza's look at that angle. The headlights and grille look too low like someone just smooshed down the front end from the top. The sillouhetted pic of the new "concept" looks a lot more balanced from what I can see...

Agreed. I posted this more for comparison. Production-wise, I would assume that the differences between the new Impreza and the new XV to be similar to the current versions. The suggestion of wheel arches and the longitudial roof rack would bear that out for the new model.

Yeah, had you going there for just a second, didn't I. This is not the XV. It's the "Dongfeng H30".

From the FHI press release PDF:
Quote:
SUBARU XV CONCEPT
The SUBARU XV CONCEPT is Subaru's design concept car that defines a new generation of crossover vehicle, blending exceptional SUV practicality with a fashionable form. The key design concept is "Protren". This word was coined from "Professional tool" and "Trendy design". It expresses the integration of "authentic functionality as a professional tool" and "urban and stylish design".
<Exterior Design> ***12539; The vehicle was engineered to blend the crossover-like commanding silhouette with a fashionable image in a
single, modern package. Its contemporary looks and electrifying lines are guaranteed to turn heads, as its body
exhibits the very solid, dynamic and independent styling so characteristic of all Subaru's. ***12539; At the very front of the vehicle are standard design elements that are common to the Subaru stable, including
the hexagon grille, winged motif and sharply- and solidly-designed hawk-eye headlights. ***12539; The rear of the vehicle features the same hexagonal design as the front and more hexagons engraved into the
clear blue base under the license plate complement the consistent design theme. ***12539; To better embody the "Protren" theme, the wheel arch cladding offers the image of functionality, playful touch
and driving excitement, which is further enhanced with the black metallic highlights. ***12539; The aluminum alloy wheels are designed to combine a solid, intrepid form and a stylish appearance, while at the same time exhibiting a fashionable look suited to urban driving. Contrasting colors - silver spokes, black rims and clear blue center caps - are used intentionally to generate an exciting balance between quality and
performance. ***12539; The exterior of the vehicle is splashed in riveting "Electro Yellowgreen", resulting in a gleaming tinge
seemingly emanating from beneath the matte finish. The color embodies electrifying performance, and above all excitement, to round off a tasteful, and at times potent, package.
<Interior Design> ***12539; "Silvery white leather" is used as the base material for the seats, which firmly envelopes passengers to provide
a secure feeling. The use of sporty mesh in selected areas works to create a high quality, yet casual mood, and
"yellowgreen" piping gives the interior a sporty and stylish finish. ***12539; A large multifunction display sits in the center panel. Three different displays - one each for navigation, car
audio, and vehicle information are united in the design and touch panel technology expresses ease of use and
can be operated intuitively. ***12539; The concept car features Subaru's own advanced driving assist "EyeSight" system. An LCD monitor
positioned between the two well-balanced and highly visible combination meters allows the driver to check the images captured with the EyeSight's stereo cameras.
<Major Specifications> Body size (Overall: Length x Width x Height): 4,450 mm x 1,800 mm x 1,620 mm Wheelbase: 2,635 mm Engine: 2.0-liter four cylinder Horizontally-Opposed DOHC engine Transmission: Lineartronic (CVT) Tire size: 245/45 ZR19 Passengers: 5

This thing begs for Rallyarmor mudflaps
So far, I like. Except for the fluorescent green. Dash looks great, but no more space for additional gauges, except for A-pillar..
