Year to Year Changes
1993 Subaru SVX:
No change was evident in the second season for Subaru's all-wheel-drive performance coupe. Due to a glut of cars, Subaru delayed the introduction of 1993 models until spring of that year.
1994 Subaru SVX:
New lower-priced L and LS versions of Subaru's sports coupe debuted this year, with front-wheel drive instead of permanent all-wheel drive. AWD was now limited to the top-line LSi model. A passenger-side airbag joined the driver's airbag on the LS and LSi models, which got conventional manual front seatbelts instead of motorized belts. Antilock brakes were standard on LS and LSi, but not available on the L. On all models except those with "pearl white" paint, the roof and trunk now were body-colored. With white paint, the roof and trunk were black, as on all prior models.
1995 Subaru SVX:
An expanded lineup for 1995 included two front-drive models (L and LS) and two with permanently engaged all-wheel drive (L and LSi). Antilock brakes were standard on all except the front-drive L. All models had dual airbags.
1996 Subaru SVX:
Two versions of Subaru's sports coupe were offered in 1996: base L and more costly LSi. Both had permanent all-wheel drive. The LSi had such features as variable-assist power steering, leather seats, a power sunroof, a CD player, heated mirrors, remote entry system and antitheft alarm, and a split folding rear seatback.
1997 Subaru SVX:
For its final season on the market, the SVX gained a new body-colored grille and 215/55VR16 tires. Laguna Blue was dropped as a color choice.
