Subaru’s all-new turbocharged Levorg All-Wheel Drive launches today, offering style with substance and sophistication in a sports wagon package.
The spiritual successor to the much missed Liberty GT wagon, Levorg’s compact sports wagon exterior dimensions cleverly clothe a cavernous cabin in which classy trim and leading-edge technology combine to produce a classic Subaru driving experience.
Among the highlights:
- Linear, efficient turbocharged performance – Direct Injection Boxer engine
- Sport Lineartronic™ Continuously Variable Transmission – to suit every style, with optional Manual Mode for enthusiastic drivers
- Third generation EyeSight® – Subaru’s significant safety story advances further
- Vision Assist Features (range-topping variant) – combine with EyeSight to produce a super-safe package
- Versatility – spacious wagon packaging offers multiple configurations to suit every lifestyle
- Optional GT-S Spec B – adds a wide range of local fit STI parts and accessories to the 2.0GT-S
Levorg’s sporty character is powered by the proven, efficient, turbocharged 2.0-litre Direct Injection engine, producing 197 Kilowatts of power at 5600 rpm and 350 Newtonmetres of torque from 2400-5200 rpm.
Levorg is available exclusively with the sport Lineartronic Continuously Variable Transmission (CVT), with Subaru Intelligent (SI) Drive, that enables stepless shift control for a wide range of driving styles, from sporty to economical.
Subaru is offering two Levorg variants: the 2.0GT and 2.0GT-S, which adds a wide variety of features including Subaru’s Rear Vehicle Detection System, Bilstein suspension and blue stitched interior trim.
The 2.0GT-S Spec B is a local fit option pack adding multiple performance parts from the Subaru Tecnica International (STI) stable, including:
- STI shift knob

- STI rear under spoiler
- STI rear side under spoiler

Levorg 2.0GT-S and 2.0GT-S Spec B are available with a choice of interior leather trim colour – Black or Bright Pearl, both with blue stitching.
Levorg is priced from $42,990 Manufacturer’s List Price* for the 2.0GT, $48,890 for the 2.0GT-S, and $52,890 for the 2.0GT-S Spec B.
Subaru Managing Director, Nick Senior, said: “Levorg is an exciting yet superior all-new sports wagon package that combines turbocharged driving performance, nimble handling, safety and versatility in an optimal body size.
“It’s innovative and embodies both sports and touring performance.”
Mr Senior said Levorg is the spiritual successor to fourth generation turbocharged Liberty GT wagon in size.
“The fourth generation was the most successful and endearing Liberty wagon and we’ve had many customers asking for a worthy replacement since we stopped producing it.
“The new Levorg is that replacement – it’s as endearing as a fourth gen, but modernised and built to take advantage of new production technology that gives heaps of internal space.
“It is a testament to modern design that although the Levorg is slightly smaller externally than a gen 4 Liberty, it has 27 cubic litres more of carrying capacity with five passengers.”
Levorg has the same external width as fifth generation Liberty.
Mr Senior added: “It’s an exotic mix combining wagon utility – wide cabin space and comfort, and a sense of security – with the handling, dynamic performance and style of a sports car.”
Every Levorg has an independent high five-star rating for occupant safety from the respected Australasian New Car Assessment Program (ANCAP), in line with the entire Subaru new car range in Australia.
Levorg is Subaru’s first all-new model since BRZ launched in 2012.
