What is the Subaru SVX?
The Subaru SVX is a grand touring coupe with sleek styling and a distinctive window-within-a-window design. Styled by Italian designer Giorgetto Giugiaro, its unusual side glass gives the cabin a canopy-like appearance.
The SVX was Subaru’s more refined, long-distance coupe. Its first generation, known by the CX code, appears in US EPA listings from 1992 to 1997; Canadian NRCan listings cover 1996 and 1997.
Engines and power
The SVX used a 3.3-litre petrol flat-six, bringing a six-cylinder engine to a model in a range largely known for four-cylinder cars.
US EPA listings cover four versions, while the Canadian NRCan listing covers one. Each listed version has a 3.3-litre petrol engine.
How economical is the Subaru SVX?
The best combined US EPA rating is 19 MPG, with 12.4 L/100 km as the lowest listed EPA consumption. Canada’s NRCan listing gives 13 L/100 km on its five-cycle test. The EPA, Canadian five-cycle, and European WLTP or NEDC procedures differ, so results are not directly interchangeable.
