Subaru to reveal production-bound Levorg wagon next week

Subaru has announced it will lift the veil off of the production version of the Levorg wagon on January 1st, 2014. The Levorg bowed as a close-to-production concept at last month’s Tokyo Motor Show.

Subaru is keeping official details under wraps until next week but rumors indicate the production-bound Levorg will be nearly identical to the concept that previewed it. The Levorg will take the form of a station wagon that will stretch about 184 inches long, 70 inches wide and 58 inches tall, dimensions that will make it slightly bigger than an Impreza but several inches smaller than an Outback. Its aggressive front end will borrow design cues from the all-new 2015 WRX.

With room for up to five passengers and their gear, Subaru’s latest wagon will be fitted with a straight-forward, function-oriented dashboard. Well-equipped models will come with a touch screen-based infotainment system.

Subaru will put a big emphasis on safety and the Levorg will be offered with a host of high-tech features such as Lane Departure Prevention Assist, Adaptive Cruise Control, Pre-Collision Braking Control and Lane Keeping Assist. The automaker’s highly-regarded EyeSight technology will be available on all models.

Entry-level Levorg models will be powered by an all-new 1.6-liter flat-four engine that is both direct-injected and turbocharged, while more expensive variants will use a 2.0-liter flat-four that will churn out 295 horsepower and 295 lb-ft. of torque. Both engines are expected to transfer power to all four wheels via either a manual gearbox or a continuously variable transmission (CVT).

Following its debut next week, the Levorg will arrive in dealerships across Japan on May 2nd. Expect the wagon to gain a different nameplate if Subaru chooses to distribute it in the United States.
