FactSubaru made the Levorg's new CB18 boxer 44 mm shorter than the engine it replaced, freeing room for a larger crush zone.
The second-generation Levorg was unveiled as a prototype at the 2019 Tokyo Motor Show and released in Japan in August 2020, moving to the Subaru Global Platform with a new 1.8-litre CB18 turbo boxer chosen to raise torque while using lean-burn for economy. Australia and New Zealand sell it as the WRX Sportswagon and WRX GT with the larger 2.4-litre FA24F turbo, which Japan also received from November 2021. A raised crossover-style Levorg Layback went on sale in September 2023, and a 2.5-litre S:HEV hybrid Layback followed in July 2026. Like its predecessor it is not sold in North America.

Owning one
We don’t estimate running costs for a car like this. What it costs depends on its condition, its specialist and how it is driven, and an average would mislead.

Photographs

All-wheel drive is the Levorg's whole identity, but when Subaru raced it in the BTCC, the rules forced the team to strip that away — the race cars ran rear-wheel drive only.
Rivals
Same body, same money, other badges — tap any card to flip.
Cooling the C6 RS6’s twin-turbo V10 took seven separate radiators and four electric fans under the bonnet.
The original RS6 debuted Audi's clever hydraulic Dynamic Ride Control suspension — and enough owners got tired of its leaking dampers that they ripped the whole system out for plain coilovers.
The C7-generation RS6 Avant never officially reached America at all — buyers there got the RS7 Sportback instead, running the exact same engine and platform in a different body.
For a few years, this Outback's six-cylinder trim came with genuine McIntosh audio — the same esteemed hi-fi name found in home theaters, one of the only cars ever to get it from the factory.
Subaru didn't have the budget for an all-new SUV, so it dressed up a Legacy wagon instead. A Subaru of America executive later put it bluntly: "[the Outback] saved our company."
The new Outback's full-width tail light bar has a 2 ft ruler built in, for measuring whatever you are about to load.
This Outback shared Top Gear's Car of the Year crown — an unusual honor for a jacked-up wagon to split with the Ford Mondeo in 2007.
A wagon beat the SUVs at their own game: this Outback generation won Motor Trend's Sport/Utility of the Year award for 2010.
