2016 Subaru XV alternator — purpose, care and replacement

Yes, the 2016 Subaru XV petrol (non‑hybrid) models are fitted with a belt‑driven alternator (Subaru labels it “generator”). This is confirmed in the Subaru Factory Service Manual for the 2016 XV/Crosstrek under Charging System, the 2016 Owner’s Manual (Charging system warning light), and Denso’s alternator application guides. Note for clarity: the 2016 XV Hybrid variant does not use a conventional alternator
