The Subaru SVX was a bold grand touring coupe developed during Japan's bubble economy. Penned by Giorgetto Giugiaro at Italdesign, its most distinctive feature is the aircraft-inspired "window-within-a-window" canopy. Every SVX was powered by a 3.3-liter EG33 flat-6 engine making 231 horsepower, paired exclusively with a 4-speed automatic and all-wheel drive.
Collectors are drawn to the SVX for its rarity and standout 90s styling. With only about 14,000 sold in the US, it's an uncommon sight. The car's unique combination of a Subaru flat-6, advanced AWD, and Italian design makes it a fascinating, if flawed, piece of automotive history.
As a collectible, the SVX remains very affordable. The average sale price sits just under $8,000, making it an accessible entry into 90s Japanese classics. While pristine, low-mileage cars command prices up to $20,000, most examples trade for much less, though finding one in excellent condition is becoming a challenge.
Buying Tips
- The 4-speed automatic transmission is a known weak point and can be costly to repair. Check for smooth shifting and ask about any rebuild history or the addition of a transmission cooler.
- Rear wheel bearings fail frequently. Listen for a loud humming or grinding noise from the rear of the car during the test drive.
- Operate both power windows. The window-within-a-window regulators are complex, prone to failure, and difficult to source.
- Body panels, glass, and exterior trim are nearly impossible to find new. Inspect the car carefully for any damage or missing parts, as you'll likely be sourcing replacements from parts cars.
- The EG33 engine is robust, but make sure the timing belt has been replaced on schedule, typically every 60,000 miles.
Based on 64 recent sales, prices range from $500 for project cars to $20,000 for the best low-mileage examples.
