== 1985–1987 (Pre-facelift) ==
[[File:Subaru EA82 Turbo in Alcyone XT.jpg|left|thumb|Subaru XT EA82T]]The XT was launched initially as the '''XT''' in North America, '''Alcyone''' in Japan and '''Vortex''' in Australia and New Zealand. The pre-facelift XT was only powered by an H4 and was produced from 1985 to 1987.

=== Drivetrain ===
The 1985 XT was fitted with one of two engines for the US market:
* [[Subaru EA engine|EA-82]]: 1781 cc H4 producing {{cvt|97|hp|kW|0}} at 5200 rpm and {{cvt|103|lbft|Nm|0}} at 3200 rpm (9.5:1 compression ratio).
* EA-82T: 1781 cc [[Turbocharger|turbocharged]] H4 producing {{cvt|112|hp|kW|0}} at 4800 rpm and {{cvt|143|lbft|Nm|0}} at 2800 rpm (7.5:1 compression ratio; some sources say 7.7:1.) in North American specifications. In Europe the power of the XT Turbo was {{cvt|136|PS|hp kW|0}} at 5600 rpm and {{cvt|145|ftlb|Nm|disp=flip}} at 2800 rpm;<ref>{{Cite news |date=1987-07-22 |title=When 4WD Is Not Enough |url=https://www.flickr.com/photos/triggerscarstuff/albums/72157615401242669/ |work=Autocar}}</ref> the naturally aspirated model was not sold there. Starting in 1987, power for North American cars increased to {{cvt|115|hp|kW|0}}.

These engines shared the following equipment and specifications:
* {{convert|1781|cc|cuin|0|abbr=on}} displacement (92×67mm/3.62×2.63")
* [[Fuel injection#Multi-point injection|Multi-port fuel injection]]
* [[Single overhead cam]]shafts

The XT was available with both [[manual transmission|manual]] and [[automatic transmission|automatic]] transmissions. 85-87 XT Turbos were available as either [[front-wheel drive]] or part-time [[four-wheel drive]], while the 85-87 XT non turbo cars were only available as front-wheel-drive. The part-time four-wheel-drive system, titled "On-Demand", was selectable by a [[push button]] atop the shifter.

=== Markets ===
Like other Subaru models of the same vintage, the North American market XT was sold in four models: the base-model '''XT''' '''DL''', the better-equipped '''XT''' '''GL''', the top-of-the-range FWD '''XT''' '''GL-10 Turbo''' and 4WD '''XT GL-10 Turbo-Traction'''. Many of the options mentioned above were available only on the GL-10 models. 

In Japan it was only available as 2 turbocharged models: the '''Alcyone 4WD VR Turbo''', and the '''Alcyone FF VS Turbo'''.

Australia and New Zealand also got 2 models, the turbocharged '''Vortex Turbo''' and the non-turbocharged '''Vortex XT.''' Initially the Vortex was only available as the non-turbocharged manual Vortex XT, but the turbo version and automatic gearbox came the following year.

European markets generally only received the '''XT Turbo''' and the '''XT Turbo 4WD''' (XT Turbo Allrad in [[Germany]]), where the car was sold in small numbers as a [[halo model]].
