You will find perforated metal pedals, a flat bottom multi-function steering wheel and paddle shifters. The only omission is a handbrake lever, which has been replaced by a flap that operates the electrically operated brakes.
Other modern conveniences include keyless access and ignition, dual-zone climate control and a decently sized infotainment screen.
But like all Subarus, the Levorg's main proposition is in the way it drives.
The car is powered by a newly developed turbocharged 1.6-litre "Boxer" engine that makes 170bhp and 250Nm of torque from 1,800rpm.
At the wheel, the Levorg feels as energetic as a 2.5-litre normally aspirated car. Its engine, paired with a continuously variable transmission (CVT), pulls willingly and enthusiastically.
Subaru has been using CVTs for several decades and the refinement of the Levorg's gearbox is proof of a recipe that works.
The same, however, cannot be said for the car's steering and suspension. The steering is inordinately heavy and the suspension is rock hard. These traits may well be suitable for a rally car, but not for a family wagon.
In tight carpark manoeuvres, it requires plenty of elbow grease. And even the slightest tarmac undulation results in the kind of jiggling that would curdle milk.
On the flipside, you get high-speed confidence as well as sharp and fearless cornering. Which, if you are a diehard Subaru fan, is all you need.
For others, the Levorg is a sporty, spacious and competitively priced station wagon that is worth considering. Just avoid long-distance milk runs in one.
