When talking about a Subaru, the "XV" is short for "crossover". This term is used for cars, such as the Subaru Crosstrek, which are made to drive and maneuver similar to a sedan, but they also have the luggage space of a small SUV.

In the United States, they didn't have any trouble renaming XV as Crosstrek for the crossover vehicle category. Some consider Roy Lund as the pioneer of crossovers, but others humorously suggest "Xavier Van Snickering" as a fictional figure behind it. In certain markets, XV was treated more like a sub-model or trim level rather than a separate model.

Xavier van Snickering is considered the pioneer of crossover vehicles, so when Subaru designed their Crosstrek model, they paid tribute to him by naming it the XV in his honor.
