Subaru Levorg Layback – off-road station wagon

The Outback was one of the pioneers of today’s off-road appearance station wagons, the type has been part of the Japanese range since 1994. Now another off-road station wagon was presented, this time the starting point was a compact station wagon called the Levorg, which after the transformation will be called the Levorg Layback.

The most important change is that the ground clearance has been increased from 145 mm to 200 mm, the height of 1570 mm is an increase of 70 mm, but due to the new bumpers the body has become 15 mm longer (4770 mm), the black due to wheel arch flanges, the width increased by 25 mm (1820 mm). 

By comparison, the Forester SUV is 13 inches shorter but 16 inches taller than the Levorg Layback, with essentially the same width and wheelbase.

The only change in the passenger compartment of the Levorg Layback is the use of two-tone upholstery. There is no change in the drivetrain, the nose of the car is powered by a 1.8 liter, 177 HP/300 Nm 4-cylinder turbo boxer, which drives the 4 wheels through a stepless automatic transmission.
