Frequently Asked Questions

What size wiper blades does a Subaru XV take?

The Subaru XV takes a 26 inch (650mm) blade on the driver side and a 16 inch (400mm) blade on the passenger side. This applies to both the G4X (2012-2017) and GT (2017-2022) generations.

Does the Subaru XV have a rear wiper?

Yes, the Subaru XV is fitted with a rear wiper blade as standard across both generations. The rear blade is 12 inches (300mm) and is sold separately from the front pair. Owners should replace all three blades at the same time for consistent visibility.

What wiper connector does the Subaru XV use?

The G4X generation Subaru XV uses a J-Hook connector on the front wiper blades, while the GT generation switched to a GWB044 connector. Owners should confirm which generation they have before ordering.

Is the Subaru XV the same vehicle as the Subaru Crosstrek?

The XV nameplate used on the G4X and GT generations was replaced by the Crosstrek name for the current G6X generation sold in Australia. Wiper fitment for these earlier XV generations should be matched against this page rather than the separate Crosstrek size guide. Owners with a current model Crosstrek should check the dedicated Crosstrek page instead.

How often should I replace Subaru XV wiper blades?

Wiper blades on a Subaru XV should generally be replaced every 6 to 12 months, or sooner if streaking, skipping or noise appears. Since the rear wiper sees less use than the front pair, it can often be overlooked, so checking it alongside the fronts is recommended.
