Subaru Levorg STI confirmed Subaru’s performance arm Subaru Tecnica International has confirmed plans to launch a high-performance version of the Levorg wagon. The vehicle will be based on the Levorg STI concept presented at the 2016 Tokyo Auto Salon (shown above) and is due to enter production this summer. Sadly, it won’t be coming to the United States since the Levorg was never offered here. The Levorg STI won’t be another lame duck attempt like the previous BRZ tS and Forrester tS. Instead, it will be a dedicated performance offering akin to the WRX STI. A more mature performance car Subaru is launching the vehicle to help celebrate the 50th anniversary this year of the brand’s penchant for using horizontally-opposed “boxer” engines. However, it’s also to appeal to those buyers lamenting the brand’s decision to drop the hatchback bodystyle for the current-generation WRX STI. No technical details have been released but expect a turbocharged 2.0-liter 4-cylinder engine just as we saw in the Levorg STI concept. The concept was also fitted with 18-inch wheels, specially-tuned dampers and a more upmarket interior with two-tone leather trim. The concept also came with a CVT. These features were added in an attempt by Subaru’s design team to create a performance car that will appeal more to the older, conservative types than the WRX STI. Subaru has been hinting at the launch of such a vehicle since 2011 when it rolled out the Advanced Tourer concept. |

The good news is that Subaru finally introduced the STI version of their Levorg wagon today; the bad news is that it’s not a true-blue STI we were expecting, but rather a wishy-washy shade of blue. The one thing STI fans really want from a car bearing Subaru’s motorsport and tuning outfit’s name is more power, but there’s nothing of the sort on the Levorg STI, as the Japanese carmaker left the regular 168hp (170PS) 1.6-liter and 296hp (300PS) 2.0-liter turbocharged engines that are paired exclusively to a Lineartronic CVT automatic untouched. Instead, Subaru pulled some STI parts off the shelf and combined them with a few styling and handling upgrades. The only true performance improvements were made to the chassis with a specially tuned version of Subaru’s DampMaticII variable damping suspension with new Bilstein shocks, the modified electric power steering system, and the 18-inch STI alloy wheels. On the outside, the Levorg STI Sport gets a new front bumper and grille, LED fog lamps, chrome exhaust tips and the addition of an optional WR Blue Pearl paint, while inside, there are two-tone black and dark-red leather seats with STI logos embroidered in the headrests and dark-red contrast stitching on the steering wheel, gear lever and door panels. The new Levorg STI Sport will be available exclusively in Japan with prices set at 3,488,400 Yen (equal to $32,500) for the 1.6T and 3,942,000 Yen ($36,700) for the 2.0T. |

Ob er auch nach Deutschland kommt, ist nicht sicher. Die Chancen stehen aber nicht schlecht. |
