I didn't managed to test drive the Levorg but I put together 2 Youtube playlists which consists of 37 Videos of the Levorg review WORLDWIDE.
My Rating:
Exterior: 10/10 (That WRX Front and Airscoop, Handsome overall)
Interior and practicality: 8.5/10 (smallish boot space and tight rear legroom)
Mechanicals: 9/10 (Love the S-AWD, Boxer-4, Turbocharged Direct Injection CVT)
Safety and security: 10/10. (One of the Safest Car in the World).
Drivability: -NA-.
OVERALL: 37.5/40.

Why the name LEVORG?
In the world of weird Japanglish, the Levorg has got to be the best. It combines LEgacy, eVOlution and touRinG. There isn't much official story behind the creation of this sports wagon, but as a deeply disappointed fan who witnessed the 2009 Subaru Legacy BR5 dropping the iconic frameless doors, while in the process getting uglier and fatter, I can't help but wish that it's actually secretly conceived by engineers from Fuji Heavy Industry (Subaru's parent company) who missed the legendary BP5 and created the Levorg.
The LEVORG is actually the wagon (or Touring) version of the Subaru WRX, but with a smaller, newly developed 1.6 Direct Injection Turbo (DIT) engine making 168hp and 250Nm. In Japan however, there's a 2.0 DIT that produces 300hp and 400Nm - which should prove more fun if not for its transmission option - exclusively only available with a CVT transmission, sending power to all four wheels via Subaru's trademark Symmetrical AWD system. While many would like to think of the Levorg as a continuation of the wagon version of the current Legacy, which only lives on as the Outback, (raised ride height), the truth is the wheelbase of the Levorg is only 2,650mm - similar to
the Legacy BP5 in terms of size - and design too.
