The 2020 model year of Subaru’s turbocharged, performance sports wagon, the Levorg 2.0GT-S has arrived.
To celebrate the release of the revised Levorg, Subaru of New Zealand has taken the opportunity to further enhance the already high specification performance wagon by adding extra kit to the standard model.
Established as an attention-grabber, the Levorg is the sleek, smart, spiritual successor to the much-missed Legacy GTB wagon. The 2020 model has been dressed up in 19” black STI wheels with cross-drilled brake rotors, along with an STI strut brace for even better cornering, a black mesh grille, black badges, and all chrome accents have been given the matt black treatment.
These additions boost Levorg’s performance credibility even further and in addition to All-Wheel Drive, it continues to be powered by the proven, efficient, turbocharged 2.0-litre direct injection Boxer engine, which produces 197 Kilowatts of power at 5600 rpm and 350 Newton metres of torque from 2400-5200 rpm. The factory Bilstein suspension completes the superior handling package.
Priced at just $57,990, the 2020 Subaru Levorg 2.0GT-S continues in this sole specification and represents excellent value for money. A striking new colour has been added to its seven-hue palette, with the sophisticated Cool Grey now available, as shown on the customised model in the accompanying photography.
Subaru of New Zealand’s Managing Director, Wallis Dumper, says: “The Subaru Levorg is my vehicle of choice and is the perfect drive to escape the city. What some Euro brands offer as optional extras, at many thousands of dollars more, are simply standard specification on the Levorg.”
“If you want a performance vehicle and enjoy driving yet want practical space for loading up for your escape time, this Subaru delivers in abundance, whilst leaving capital in the bank for those home or business needs,” Mr Dumper adds.
The Levorg sports wagon will continue to be available with the eight-speed Subaru Lineartronic™ Transmission (SLT), with paddle shift. It is coupled with Subaru Intelligent (SI) Drive, which features multiple performance modes to suit a wide range of driving styles, from sporty to economical.
The Subaru Levorg package offers multiple configurations to suit every lifestyle, offering the space you need for work or play but without a crippling petrol bill to accompany it. Fuel consumption is a moderate 8.7l/100km.
Whether you are heading into the office for the day, or away for a weekend adventure, the Subaru Levorg is highly equipped to keep you safe. Featuring Subaru’s award-winning, third-generation EyeSight® technology - which acts like a second pair of eyes, spotting potentially dangerous driving situations – it offers Pre-collision Braking, Adaptive Cruise Control, Lane Keep Assist, Lane Departure Warning, Lane Sway Warning and Lead Car Alert.
Further driver aids include Rear Cross Traffic Alert, Blind Spot Detection and a front and side camera that makes parking easier. For all-round luxury and comfort, the Subaru Levorg is decked out in premium leather upholstery (with 10-way power driver’s seat memory) and heated front seats to keep you toasty on those chilly winter’s mornings.
Like all Subaru models, the Subaru Levorg comes with a maximum five-star ANCAP safety rating and has seven airbags positioned throughout the cabin.
All the intuitive technology you need is at your fingertips with built-in Satellite Navigation powered by TomTom available, including real time traffic information. The easy pinch and swipe accessibility of a 7" touch screen allows you to enjoy features, such as, Apple Car play and Android auto.
The new 2020 Levorg is now available in Subaru’s 16 Authorised Subaru Dealerships nationwide. Customers are welcome to customise their new sports wagon to their preference with a range of STI accessories. The accessories fitted to the Levorg as shown in the imagery are valued at around $10,000 RRP.
