Subaru Levorg updated in Japan, not yet for Australia

Subaru has updated its mid-size Levorg wagon in Japan with new features, new tech, slightly revised styling and newly available models. 

To be released in Japan in June 2019, the updated Levorg now includes the STI Sport Black Selection and Advantage Line specs, with the former based on the 2.0-litre turbo-petrol engine, and the latter on the smaller 1.6-litre turbo. 

The updates to the Levorg won’t land immediately in Australia however, with Subaru Australia spokesperson Dave Rowley telling CarsGuide that there are “no changes planned imminently for our Levorg line-up.”

The updated Levorg features some new stying cues.

Based on the STI Sport that’s currently sold in Australia, the STI Sport Black Selection adds black mirror caps and new two-tone 18-inch alloy wheels for a sportier look.

The inside now has new 'Ultrasuede'/leather Recaro front seats, with the same upholstery mix spreading to the rear seat. The lower centre console now has soft-touch materials, and new stitching has been added all over the cabin for a more upmarket look.

The updated Levorg features new materials and a new centre screen.

The Levorg Advantage Line is based on the 1.6-litre turbo-petrol engine and adds new black 18-inch alloy wheels, as well as black mirror caps, door handles and exterior badging. 

The interior of the Advantage Line adds black and blue Ultrasuede/leather seating, as well as blue interior stitching and a blue dashboard inlay.

Subaru has also given the Levorg the brand’s latest 8.0-inch touchscreen with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, as well as the brand’s latest SmartLink multimedia software. 

The updated Levorg isn't immediately due in Australia.

The Levorg’s auto high beam now operates from as low as 30km/h, instead of the former 40km/h threshold.
