Exterior
The new Subaru Levorg measures 4,690mm long, 1,780mm wide, and 1,490mm tall. At the front, it bears the signature wide grille that follows the Japanese company’s innovative branding. It is matched with a set of fierce-looking LED headlamps with an automatic leveler. The big hood scoop distinguishes itself from other wagons and serves as a preview of its unmatched performance.
Its body is filled with design lines meant to help the vehicle’s aerodynamic capability. The tilt-adjustable sunroof provides a more relaxed vibe, while the shark fin antenna and roof spoiler add a modern edge. At the back, exquisite details can be found such as dual exhausts, a rear spoiler, and rear fog lights. Its powerful stance brought about by a set of 18-inch wheels screams intimidation and power.
Interior
The vibe inside the Subaru Levorg is relaxed thanks to its subtle gray interior with blue trimmings. Drivers will be pleased with the innovations inside such as the 10-way power-adjustable seat, leather sports telescopic steering wheel, gear shift knob, multi-function display equipped with a boost pressure meter, and one-touch turn signal.
The Levorg’s cabin can comfortably accommodate five fully grown adults. It features reclining seats at the back using a one-touch switch. It comes with a center armrest with two cup holders.
