Of note, we are yet to become familiar with the finer details regarding these variants’ differences in specs. But we do know that Subaru Philippines did choose the WRX Wagon over the new Levorg due to the former’s more powerful engine.
Both the all-new WRX sedan and wagon both use the same 2.4-liter boxer engine that can produce up to 271 horsepower and 350 Nm of torque. It is then paired with either a six-speed manual gearbox or a continuously variable transmission with an eight-speed paddle shift manual mode.
