Subaru Levorg STI Sport is the Wagon We Want But Can’t Have

Japan’s sales will start in June of this year.

Subaru has already begun work on the next generation Levorg wagon, but the company isn’t ready to retire its current model. The Levorg was launched in 2014. It is currently getting a mid-life update in Japan, where it will also get two special edition models. We were attracted to one of these variants because it carries the STI suffix.

Before we get into the details, let’s answer the question you’re already asking: no, it won’t be available for purchase in the United States. The Levorg STI Sport Black Selection will be available only in the United States at this time. Japanese market We expect it to stay that way for the remainder of the model’s lifetime.

The wagon comes standard with 18-inch black lacquered wheels and 225/45 section tires. Other exterior changes include the black door mirror caps with integrated light and puddle lights. These modifications, while minor, give the wagon an aggressive look.
