2018 Subaru Levorg 2 0 STI Sport Interior Exterior

“It’s not a real STI!”

I expected that comment to eventually drop once the 2018 Subaru Levorg STI Sport rolled into the CarAdvice Sydney garage, though not in a matter of minutes. That’s how long it took the office’s Japanese turbo car tragics – none of whom are Japanese – to start poring over and under the blue wagon in search of, ahem, pink bits.

Turns out the most conspicuous extras minted in signature Subaru Tecnica International Pink is the Levorg’s badging. Precisely the reason, then, that this flagship variant, resplendent in its exclusive, oh-so-STI ‘WR Blue’ paintwork, is quickly assessed by traditionalist onlookers as “not real” rather than “unreal”.

Historically, with its long association with the WRX, the handsome premium the STI designation commanded, offered brand cache by way of bespoke engines, motorsport-approved differentials, tricky torque controllers, hardcore suspension and braking hardware, and transmission gear sets double the size found in regular ‘Rex’ stock.

The wings, paint and seats were extra garnish atop the hardcore hardware below. It’s a formula largely obeyed in WRX-dom to this day.

The Levorg STI Sport – see what Subaru did there? – tracks a different, more diluted STI course in the wheel tracks of the warmed-over Forester tS and the WRX Tuned by STI, essentially mainline version treated to lighter parts bin enhancement.
