The Subaru Levorg is what you get when you ask for performance and utility without jumping into a full-size SUV. Arguably, this is the best thing that ever happened to Subaru. Did you know the name Levorg is a portmanteau of Legacy, Revolution, and Touring? Now you know, and what makes everything exciting about this car, besides its family-friendly features and practicality, is that it shares some underpinnings with the WRX. Like other Subaru products, the Levorg also features Symmetrical AWD and EyeSight technology.

EXTERIOR
The Subaru Levorg punches above its weight, undercutting its German rivals in detailing and exterior design. The Subaru Outback is good, but the Levorg is on steroids when it comes to sophistication. Its low stance and aggressive look make it stunning and impossible to ignore.
The front fascia features a prominent hexagonal grille adorned with the 6-star general Subaru logo, flanked by C-shaped LED headlights and daytime running lights. Sculpted surfaces on the hood add some aggressive cues, and it looks more appealing with a hood scoop, a statement that it can show your Mazda CX-60 dust on the expressway. The STI version has sportier detailing on the lower fascia, maximizing its aura of elegance.
The side profile features subtle character lines, a strong shoulder line, and 18-inch alloy wheels for an alluring look. The rear has LED taillights and two exhaust outlets neatly integrated into the rear bumper, maintaining a clean and uncluttered appearance. To make your Levorg look sleek and stand out from the crowd, you need to incorporate body kits. To get them, visit: SAFARI SPARES
INTERIOR & TECHNOLOGY
The Subaru Levorg interior has a good balance of ergonomics, driver usability, and practicality. It may not be as luxurious as the Lexus LX 700h, but at least it gives you value for money from its modern features. For a premium feel, the cabin has a good blend of piano-black accents and contrast stitching.
The horizontal, architecturally designed dashboard features a touchscreen infotainment surface that enhances connectivity, allowing occupants who follow Abel Mutua’s “Mkurugenzi” minisodes to stay up to date. Both rows have ample legroom and headroom. You have multiple storage compartments, like cupholders to hold your Energizer drink, and a glovebox to keep the contract you have won from KURRA (Kenya Urban Rural Roads Authority) to construct a road.

The boot space is spacious enough to haul luggage. If you really must carry bags of maize from your countryside in Bungoma to Nairobi, why don’t you just get a Toyota Hilux because the Levorg is not meant for heavy loading.
PERFORMANCE: How Does it Handle Kenyan Roads?
The Subaru Levorg is not a joke when taken to the highway. On the Southern Bypass, the flat-four engine delivers beyond expectation. It has a low ground clearance, low center of gravity, spoilers for improved aerodynamics, and a hood scoop that channels cool air into the engine for better performance. The Symmetrical AWD, sharp response from the CVT transmission, and Subaru Intelligent Drive work in harmony for an exhilarating experience. Remember not to step too much on the gas because you risk a huge fine from the NTSA.
Safety has not been overlooked. The Eyesight technology comes in handy if you try to misbehave on the road. It comes standard with a blind spot monitor, lane-keep assist, lane departure warning, adaptive cruise control, and pre-collision braking.
