Subaru released its Legacy line, which was a deliberate departure from everything the car company had released, back in the late ‘80s. This line, which became their flagship, allowed Subaru to compete head-to-head with other Japanese car manufacturers including Honda in the lucrative international market. Legacy came in 4-door sedan and 5-door wagon models, and continuous to evolve up to this day.
This year, enter the 2016 Subaru Levorg, which can be seen as the successor of the Legacy Spec B Wagon. According to Subaru, its name is a portmanteau for “Legacy, ‘Revolution’, and ‘Touring’. It is out to win the low key race of performance wagons.
First Look
What initially arrests your attention is the Levorg’s prominent bonnet scoop on the hood. It gives the wagon a distinct look, and is reminiscent of Subaru’s rally cars. The chrome-trimmed grills, as well as the flared wheels, give the wagon a look that may be a tad too sporty for your soccer mom.
Under the Hood
The 2016 Levorg comes with four-wheel drive and turbo engine, similar to another Subaru model, the Impreza, or more specifically, the WRX STI. The 1.6-litre direct injection turbo engine gives a solid performance. The Levorg handles quite well, and hugs the road for those high-speed turns.

Inside the Levorg, you’ll find other features that make the ride a notch above the competitors. The interiors are clean, with comfortable seats especially for the driver. It can carry loads of up to 1,500kg. There’s also a 7-inch touchscreen that comes with satellite navigation and multimedia entertainment. The push button start, keyless entry, and blind spot monitoring add to the comfort and convenience of this wonder wagon.
