Subaru Levorg 1.6 GT-S: we try a unique family
Unlike others, the Subaru Levorg, which replaces the Legacy, provides a practical station wagon, all-wheel drive and a powerful gasoline engine turbo Boxer.
The Subaru Levorg replaces the Subaru Legacy, of inheriting some technical features, but now only is provided in familiar body, whose name stands for Revolution Legacy Touring. It has dimensions straddles the compact and middle saloons, as measures 4.69 meters long, and receives some sports features of the WRX STI, cooling outlet on the hood, narrower front grille, LED headlamps front or side skirts.
Subaru Levorg: large capacity
Good overall finish and classic atmosphere in the Subaru Levorg, which features a sporty driving position with analog clocks, aluminum bottom bracket, multifunction steering wheel, touch screen and well-grouped controls. Offers a comfortable seating area, something short bench, and some slack in all places, but It stands above its average luggage capacity: 465 liters on the loading plane and an additional 45 under the floor. In addition, it can easily be expanded by folding down the rear backrests. Yes, dispenses with the spare wheel, resorting to impractical emergency kit.
The Subaru Levorg It is only available with 1.6 Turbo petrol engine 177 hp, replacing atmospheric veterans 2.0, mated to a continuously variable 6 interlocks and steering wheel paddles. Develops maximum torque of 25.5 mkg at a rate of 1,800 rpm, allowing good push from below, although It shows a “turbo effect” midrange. Achieved a brilliant performance level, but lastra wheel drive consumption gradually being walked cheerfully throttle, It is very difficult to lose an average of 9 liters / 100 km in real spending, especially if we activate the command SI Drive, modifying the engine parameters and change.
Subaru Levorg: good dynamic behavior
Shown Subaru Levorg very fast tacking roads, helped by a fairly firm suspension, especially in compression, which only they are uncomfortable when driving on very broken land.
This is certainly a different sports with family vocation, although He would have sat well with Boxer Diesel engine to contain spending. Is very fun to drive, good shows response to any regime and allows profit from the CVT. The price of the Executive Plus version, 31,900 euros, can not be considered a gift, but we appreciate the full equipment always included in the standard equipment.
