Two types of engines are made available in Levorg, each with unique appealing qualities in its balance between driving and environmental friendliness.
- 1.6-liter Horizontally-Opposed direct injection turbo "DIT" Engine -
The newly developed 1.6-liter Horizontally-Opposed DIT offers both brisk driving pleasure and superb fuel performance of 17.4 km/liter (JC08 mode)*1. This feat is actualized by combining a low displacement engine with DIT.
Fuel efficiency was enhanced by Subaru's first adoption of DIT plus no idling.
A full tank can keep Levorg running for 1000km*2. The engine is fit for a sports tourer that can take passengers farther in more comfort. It is also economical, made for regular unleaded gasoline.
- 2.0-liter Horizontally-Opposed direct injection turbo "DIT" Engine -
A high output of 221kW (300PS)*1 and a torque that reaches 400NEm (40.8kgfEm)*1 with 2000 rpm are impressive performances suiting a high grade sports tourer. However, Levorg also achieved a superb environmental value of 13.2 km/liter (JC08 mode).
