Subaru Levorg Prototype STI Sport teased ahead of its debut

KUALA LUMPUR: Subaru has teased the prototype version of the Levorg STI Sport ahead of its scheduled unveiling at the Tokyo Auto Salon, which is scheduled to start from January 10th, 2020.

The Levorg (LEgacy reVOlution touRinG), is a midsize wagon that is offered with two turbocharged flat-four engine options, all-wheel drive and a continuously variable transmission, in Japan since 2014.

Previously, Subaru had previewed the next-generation Levorg wagon with a 'Prototype' version at the 2019 Tokyo motor show, with the production model set to hit the showrooms for sale in Japan during the second half of 2020.

The upcoming Levorg is all set to feature accessories that are targetted towards providing the car with a more aggressive look. The updated variant includes a body kit and sports new set of wheels. However, one can also expect a few performance add-ons in the vehicle with an STI exhaust system accompanied by sportier suspension and brakes.

The automaker has been light on the details for the rest of the car but mentioned that the base engine will no longer be a turbocharged 1.6-litre as the car will now feature a turbocharged 1.8-litre engine.

The upcoming vehicle is all set to feature Subaru’s next-generation EyeSight system with stereo cameras. The four radar sensors and high-resolution mapping are set to enable a reduction in cruise control speeds for curves and allow for hands-free gridlock driving.

For better and increased safety of the occupants of the car, the vehicle also features a new 'Advanced Automatic Collision Notification' system. The system alerts the emergency services when the vehicle gets involved in a significant collision, along with direct contact with an operator in case of an emergency.

However, the upcoming and updated Levorg isn’t slated for the US, and the company has not yet revealed any comments on the future of its release for the same.
