Value for money? What do you think?
Hot items ang Rush and Xpander so baka mahirapan ka magpaschedule ng test drive due to unit unavailability. You'll just have to trust the car reviews from websites and actual owners.
Subaru almost always has test drive units available.
My wife loves her XV. It's a very easy and friendly car to drive in the city.
The XV is pricier than the Rush or Xpander but it is reasonable as it is a better vehicle overall. The XV will drive better and offers a more premium experience.
If you really need 7 seats and with a budget for an XV, I guess the Innova is the practical choice.
If you don't need the extra row of seats and are willing to pay more for acquisition and maintenance, the XV is the better choice. Handles better, more capable with AWD, and the materials used and build quality seem to be a lot better.
My choices would be in this order: XV > Xpander > Rush
I'd also take a look at the Mobilio, BR-V, HR-V and base diesel CR-V.
Di maganda reviews ng Rush. Mas maporma, maganda pricing and loaded sya vs competitors pero sa space, ergonomics, overall comfort, driving dynamics, power, FC etc bagsak sya.
Based on some quick checking, the RAV4 sold 1000 units last year:

Subaru as a brand sold 3000 units in 2016.

I see more foresters than XVs so the number of XVs sold probably aren't a lot more than the RAVs. I am also assuming that Subaru didn't have crazy 2017 wherein nag triple yung sales or something.
Guesstimates lang lahat ito though. By this reasoning, I suppose parts for the XV should probably be == parts for the RAV4.

Personally have driven the XV multiple times and I would say it drives better than a Hyundai Santafe. Its good to drive, that 4wd is incredible pero one slight underwhelming thing about the car is that it is not so powerful.
XV if you like the AWD, semi autonomous driving cruise control, top class safety features enabled by eye sight and relative sportiness compared to the other choices. It feels more premium as well.
The Rush or Xpander if you need the 7 seats. But dynamically they cant really compare favorably to the Subaru.
