Subaru introduced the SVX in the United States in July 1991 (as a 1992 model), following the US debut with a Japanese market introduction in September of that same year.
The model was designed and marketed as the replacement for the Alcyone XT and Alcyone XT6 coupes.
Outside Japan, the Alcyone designation was dropped, and the car was marketed as the Subaru SVX.
The 1992 Subaru Legacy received a facelift inspired by the SVX.
The introduction of the SVX followed the 1990 introduction of the Acura NSX and the 1980 introduction of the Isuzu Piazza.

The MSRP) for the US base model 1992 SVX-L was $24,445, with the top of the line model with touring package (leather trim, 8 way electronic seat adjustment, tilt and slide sunroof), the LS-L, listing at $28,000.
This was $8,000–$11,000 higher than any previous Subaru.
A rear spoiler was optional on the 1992 L and LS-L models and was included as standard equipment beginning in 1993.
There was a brief XR model in 1992 that included the spoiler standard but put the vehicle over the import weight limit.
As a result, the spoiler was shipped separately.
By the end of its production run in 1996, the price had risen to $36,740 for the top-of-the-line LSi, which was the same trim level as the 1992 LS-L
A front-wheel drive version was offered on the SVX during the 1994–1995 model year, which cost about $5,300 less than the AWD version in 1994 and $1500 difference in 1995.
In 1994, FWD was offered on both the base L model (X33 in the VIN) and on the mid-range LS model (X34 in the VIN).
In 1995, only the base L model was offered in FWD (X33 in the 5th, 6th and 7th digits of the VIN).

With Subaru forecasting sales of 10,000 each year, SVX sales reached 5,280 in 1992 and 3,859 cars in 1993.
 Production ended in December 1996, with sales continuing into 1997 — and 640 units sold in the final year.
