Subaru will unveil an all-new concept car at the Tokyo Motor Show in November, called Levorg. The Japanese carmaker said the study previews a production model, which is currently under development and will launch in 2014.
The name Levorg is a combination of the words Legacy, Revolution and Touring, which means the concept car might show what the next-generation Legacy Station Wagon will look like.
Subaru says the Levorg is a new type of sports tourer targeting the Japanese market which combines “an exquisite and stylish design with a sports car feel”, while offering the best in driveability, safety and environmental friendliness.
The car is powered by a newly-developed 1.6-liter Horizontally-Opposed direct injection turbo DIT engine which promises “superb driving pleasure and extraordinary environmental performance”. Other new technologies are the next-generation EyeSight with added safety functions and the newly launched steering support control.
In the company’s own words, the Levorg is “the car which carries on Subaru’s great heritage while pioneering a new age of touring car with innovation”. The automaker has launched a special microsite in Japanese where teaser images and other information will be released.
Alongside the Levorg, Subaru’s Tokyo stand will include the Crossover 7 Concept, a seven-seater crossover also aimed at the domestic market. The study’s exterior combines an urban look with “rough-road driving capability”, while the cabin features smooth tan leather seats and a roomy space.
Subaru’s booth will also host the world premiere of the Cross Sport Design Concept and the Japanese premiere of the Viziv Evolution Concept.
