A couple of months after we saw the all-new 2021 Subaru Levorg appearing undisguised on the streets of Japan, we now know how it looks courtesy of a couple of leaks on Japanese media. It continues the recent trend of production cars looking similar to their concept counterparts as the all-new Levorg looks virtually unchanged from the concept shown at the 2019 Tokyo Motor Show. Sources also reported that the Levorg will come in several trims, however what’s named here are the GT, GT-H, and STi Sp

The Subaru WRX is one of those old-school four-door performance sedans that just refuses to give up. Even in an age where hot hatches are the in-thing. Subaru too isn’t giving up on an icon by slapping it on a crossover, unlike some other Japanese manufacturer. Just like the barrage of Mazda scoops yesterday, our Japanese media friends are also busy with another smaller Japanese carmaker.
