Subaru XV

Subaru has revealed the new XV at the 2011 Frankfurt motor show, taking the company into the compact crossover segment for the first time.

Alloy wheels and cut-away cladding also aim to give the car a distinctive feel.

But that probably has more to do with alternators replacing dynamos than the batteries themselves.
