IN its first serious pitch at the company car driver, Subaru has launched its Levorg sports tourer boasting the highest specification interior ever installed on one of its models.

Billed as a spiritual successor to the fourth-generation Subaru Legacy Tourer, the Levorg promises increased interior space and comfort despite maintaining a compact on-road footprint.

Passengers get greater leg, head and shoulder room while the 522-litre boot, which swells to 1,446 litres with rear seats folded, provides carrying capacity fit for busy business travellers.

It comes to the UK next month in one high-end trim level the GT, boasting generous levels of standard equipment, including Subaru’s famed All-Wheel Drive (AWD) drivetrain.

Subaru claims the Levorg will offer one of the company’s most refined cabins created, with a greater use of high quality materials. Leather-trimmed sports seats with unique to Levorg blue stitching will come as standard.

Other standard specification includes:

• auto on-off LED headlamps
• rain-sensing wipers
• front and rear fog lamps
• metallic paint
• 18-inch dark grey alloy wheels
• privacy glass and a subtle roof spoiler
• keyless access and push-button start
• bespoke leather heated sports seats in the front
• 60/40 split-folding and reclining rear seats
• boot lamp
• two 12-volt power outlets, four USB ports (two in the front, two in the rear)
• 7.0-inch touchscreen infotainment and navigation system with Subaru STARLINK connectivity,
• dual-zone air-conditioning
• rear parking camera.
