It features front sports seats with fabric upholstery, a leather wrapped steering wheel with silver stitching, as well as piano black and chrome trim. As with the variant it is based on, it sports Bilstein dampers, ventilated disc brakes and 225/45 R18 tires. V-Sport will be available in Japan and is priced at JPY 3,150,000.[5]

On 12 January 2016, Subaru announced that it was entering the British Touring Car Championship, as a manufacturer entry, in partnership with Team BMR.[7] For the 2016 season, the team were preparing four Levorg Sports Tourers to the championship's Next Generation Touring Car specification. The BTCC Levorgs are configured as rear wheel drive rather than four wheel drive (which is disallowed by the championship's regulations). Former double champions Jason Plato and Colin Turkington piloted the cars, along with team owner Warren Scott. The marque's FA20 2.0 litre boxer engine was race prepared for the team by Mountune Racing.[8]

The 2017 season saw some changes, including Ashley Sutton joining the team from MG Racing. Sutton went on to win the 2017 British Touring Car Championship for the team. Jason Plato continued driving the Levorg, but struggled to find pace throughout the season.[9]

The 2018 season saw Team BMR switch from Mountune to Swindon as engine suppliers for the Levorg.[10]

Unveiled as a prototype at the 2019 Tokyo Motor Show on October 23,[17] the second-generation model switched to the Subaru Global Platform, with a newly developed 1.8 L CB18 engine. Like the previous generation, this model would not be sold in North America, but would go on sale in Japan in the second half of 2020.[18]

On August 21, 2020, the second-generation Levorg was released in Japan.[19]

According to Subaru engine designer Tsuneaki Numamiyauchi, the displacement of the CB18 was chosen to balance an increase in maximum torque to 300 N⋅m (31 kg⋅m; 220 lb⋅ft) with improved fuel economy from adopting lean-burn technology.[20] Fuel economy improved from 16.0 to 16.6 kilometres per litre (38 to 39 mpg‑US) compared to the preceding generation's FB16 engine.[16] In addition, the overall length of the engine was shortened by 44 mm (1.7 in), allowing for a larger crush zone for safety.[20]

The second-generation Levorg is sold in Australia as the WRX Sportswagon and in New Zealand as the WRX GT ("Grand Touring"), leveraging the use of the WRX nameplate. For Australia and New Zealand, the Levorg is fitted with the larger FA24F 2.4-litre direct injection turbo engine.[21][22][13] On November 25, Subaru announced the FA24F-equipped Levorg also would be sold to the Japanese market as the STI Sport R model.[23]
