What are the Subaru Levorg Features?
If a family man wants a spacious car that can fit the whole family and also wants to do exciting things alone, I think the Subaru Levorg is the right car for him. The Subaru Levorg, which entered the Turkish market in 2015, continues to be sold in 2016 with minor changes. With its C-shaped headlights at the front, the air intake on the hood to cool the turbocharged engine's intercooler, the front bumper design, and the chrome grille with its angular structure, and at the rear, the C-shaped taillight cluster and dual exhaust outlets, the Levorg manages to look both sporty and distinctive. When we get inside the Levorg, we are greeted with a high-quality cockpit. The dashboard covered with leather and the gear shift surrounded by leather contribute significantly to the high material quality inside. The center console features a 6.2-inch touchscreen multimedia system (7-inch in the Sport Plus package) and an information display on top of the console. You can access many functions with the buttons on the steering wheel, which has an ideal size and a design that suits the car's sporty identity. The electronic parking brake in the Levorg provides the user with more storage compartments. When it comes to the living space in the Levorg, there are no issues for the driver and front passenger, but considering that the Levorg is a family car, I must say that the rear seats are more comfortable than the front. Another area where the Levorg shows its sporty character is its suspension; while the suspension is satisfying for the driver on highways, it can be uncomfortable on rough roads due to its taut structure. In terms of headroom and legroom, the Levorg offers sufficient space. You start to hear wind noise in the Levorg after 110 km/h.
Technical Specifications
The Subaru Levorg is offered in our country with a 1.6-liter boxer gasoline engine. In this engine, which is of great interest to Subaru enthusiasts, the cylinders work horizontally, unlike in conventional engines. Subaru utilizes the advantage of this with a low center of gravity at the front and its contribution to the car's balance. This 1.6-liter engine can produce 170 PS of power and 250 Nm of torque. This engine accelerates this 1550 kg body to 100 km/h in 8.9 seconds, showing us that it performs well. Subaru has combined the Levorg with a CVT transmission called Lineartronic. The CVT transmission has six pre-set gear ratios and is continuously variable. You can also manually control this transmission using the paddles behind the steering wheel if you wish. While this combination may not satisfy users who prefer sudden acceleration, I find its smooth acceleration fitting for a family car. Like all other Subarus, the Levorg features a four-wheel-drive system, and combined with its stiff suspension, it impresses with its high cornering limits. The Levorg's 522-liter cargo volume can be further increased by folding down the rear seats.
Subaru's Four-Wheel-Drive System
Subaru's four-wheel-drive system has earned the respect of almost all car enthusiasts. We can also call Subaru's system intelligent four-wheel drive. Because while other systems constantly transmit power to all wheels in all road conditions, the S-AWD system does this in a controlled manner. You can benefit from this system with controlled cornering, better grip on slippery surfaces, and good acceleration.
Overview
Looking at Subaru in general, details that offer ease of use attract our attention. The absence of a lip in the trunk makes loading and unloading easier, while the rear door opens at a 90-degree angle for passengers to get in and out more comfortably. The ease with which the driver can reach the screen on the console at the front increases ergonomics, making it difficult for us to criticize the car. Subaru's average fuel consumption, which is 7.1 liters according to factory data, is around 10 to 10.5 liters in daily use. Considering the Levorg's weight, these are not bad figures.
Prices and Market
Subaru is offered in our country with a 1.6-liter engine in two different trim levels. The Levorg 1.6i GT-S Sport and the 1.6i GT-S Sport Plus.
