2022 Subaru WRX Sportswagon (Levorg) 0-100km/h & engine sound 

In this models case "exciting"

@UCOyf56jLDA6TZ1ogbhN2bSw Incorrect. The video shows the CVT Sportswagon as shown in the rest of the video.

Lol the last time the WRX rumbled was 2014.

Long gone. Even the previous-gen WRX and Levorg didn't have the rumble.

Sadly yes.

Dudes been living under a rock the last 7-8 years

Tbh I would only consider buying a CVT if it simulates purely cause CVT's just revving out remind me of conventional transmission slip too much

he is in S# that's why. If it was in standard mode it would mostly hold the same rpm. My Vorg usually likes to pick somewhere between 3000 and 4300 rpm for acceleration from standstill depending on depth of go pedal depression. But it has a throttle controller on it to get rid of subarus rubbish adaptive throttle maps.

@@techforge-Nate The simulated gearing is there no matter which driving mode. I have a long-term WRX tS Sportswagon at the moment.

watch honest measurement 0-100 on my channel

@@phyju Smooth until they inevitably explode

Something seems off cause I have seen many videos of the 2022 cvt wrx in america do 0-60mph in 5.2-5.6 seconds stock so idk what the hell they did with this 😂

@@ryanjones7202 weight maybe. levorg looks quite heavier then the sedan.

Even if Subaru buys an off the shelf DCT (from say Getrag), it would still cost a lot of money to develop the right installation (with a front diff and transfer case) for the Subaru AWD system... Costs that I guess the gearbox supplier would want Subaru to cover. Whereas Subaru are, of course, trying to design and build this model on the cheap. 🙂

The irony of a CVT that's mimicking set gear ratios is hilarious.

@@Dan4096 haha people always need to complain about something. When it first came out CVT people hate how it sound when it keeps the RPM, now that it mimics gears they complain..

@@subazealand9158 seriously! It’s actually very impressive. I doubt 99% of drivers would even know it’s a cvt but would be happy with the fuel economy benefits..

​@@subazealand9158 It's not about the need to complain about something. The very point of CVT is literally removed once you mimic fake shifts. Since they're mimicking fake shifts anyway, why not just use a good torque-converter auto?

Because mileage go to the sky ...

I would be interested to see the torque curve compared to the levorg

I noticed the US model outback XT puts 375nm and a few more kw. I just ordered one in oz which is limited at 350nm. I’m not fussed as 350 is plenty for what I use the car for. I think the 2.4 is not too stressed but that’s just a guess without any science behind it.

Well said! If they were listening they'd piss that cvt right off! Bloody terrible..

@@malsmith2012 100% I wish they actually invested in their 6EAT proto-type they had for the B11S concept, would have kept the revs nice and low on highway and retained the torque converter.

Christ you people love to whine.

Just don't buy them . Simple

Not to mention all the interior trims are shared with the 2017 Subaru xv and are nearly 6 years old already

Why?

@@i_read_bad_reviews because it’s a Levorg just rebadged as a WRX for the Australian market to try & make more sales as the WRX name would most likely sell whereas the Levorg is still not a widely known name

Well it is literally the same as the cvt wrx, this is just a wagon instead of a sedan. The Levorg 2.0L should’ve always been called a wrx

I think the only issue with this is that it's CVT only. If it had a manual, then I'd say it's 100% a WRX

Only boy racers buy them with small ,u know

@cloud ix power to weight ratio. Brz is a rear wheel drive tiny sports car. Each car is for completely different lifestyles and the wrx would suit mine. The brz would be useless for my family.

Subaru are great at adding weight and rubbish gear boxes to ruin performance

@@pastorofmuppets8834 AWD adds weight. The BRZ is a Subaru too! Is the 6mt not available on the WRX? It is in my country.

@@steve8803 Subaru/Toyota have been working tirelessly to ruin the WRX over the last 15 years. It's been a roaring success. At being ruined. The 86RZ is a special case, the outlier of both manufacturers though thankfully Toyota realised they could sell a performance Yaris and resurrected the supra (sort of).

@@pastorofmuppets8834 lol you're overly dramatic. Reminds me of my ex.

Subaru can't put other type of transmission. The CVT fits in the layout in the same way as the old 5AT. To keep everything "symmetrical" they need to keep the same size of the current transmissions. Any other transmission will be bigger and it wont work with the idea of symmetrical AWD.

@@subazealand9158 having a decent trans would surely trump "symmetrical bs"

@@madrx2 lol then get rid of boxer engine and get a totally different car. Oh yeah, there's other brand out there.

What has that one done to you?

@@johncepha1046 Mostly the whole ergonomics, bad seating position, poor seats, bad noise isolation and the CVT is just sluggish. Also the gaspedal calibration is all wrong. I barely press it, and I'm already going 50-60km/h, which is the speedlimit in town. Also, when you keep your foot on the pedal in one position, the car still slowly accelerates/ doesn't keep the actual speed. Ahhh. Just an uncomfortable annoying car in general. Kudos to the engine and AWD... perhaps the only two positive things about the whole car. Oh and the AC - if set to blow on the windshield, somehow it never manages to cool down the interior enough... Very strange. In cooler temperatures, something gently rattles under the dash (got it checked, "no problem at all sir)... Nope, not the brand I'll be a fan of.

🤣

The rumble has been gone for YEARS!

Put an exhaust on it and it will rumble

Rumble comes from ULH which stopped rumbling since FA engines arrived... But you can add some aftermarket ULH to make yours sound like a proper Subaru!

extra KG's and no extra torque is the perfect recipe for performance regression. Levorg looks nicer outside too. Just a shame about the factory dampners and horrid audio quality and cabin roar on the Vorgs.

@@techforge-Nate The new car is lighter. This car has low kms on the clock so i would imagine this would improve.

Man I drove a demo yesterday and it went pretty good. Had abt 5000km on. Was def quicker than the old model. Was really smooth, responsive and torquey. Not sure what this ones story is..

it's size is comparable to Impreza, not Liberty/Legacy.

@@acstagger The Levorg is basically the same size as the bl/bp or 4th generation Legacy/Liberty or before they started prioritizing the Outback crossover size needs over the traditional size of the Legacy/Liberty.

Same as a Canadian!

Hot cakes? Thought Americans in general refused to buy wagons.

No one in America buys wagons anymore. It's the sad truth. I want one so bad.

After 80km/h this smokes that light fwd Cerato GT.

@@Eugen-E as it should with the much larger engine. But in reality the 0-100 is what matters.

@@samirfakoua No. In reality 0 to 100 does not matter at all, because you don't do drag racing on 1/4 mile on streets, starting from a dig. Every overtake is from a roll. So, the true acceleration times that matter are 80-120 or 80-140 or 100-150. On a highway pull your cerato gt is dead. This has a larger engine, but you forget it's way more heavier and is full time 4x4 with a real center diff.

@@Eugen-E still doesn’t excuse that poor 0-100 time considering a wrx badge. Seems like a NA car rather than having a turbo. In ur eyes u look at overtaking whereas most would look at acceleration off a traffic light (for the fun of it or to quickly pass someone). And even for overtaking, realistically ur never passing 120 unless ur speeding. The only real benefit I see here is that it’s AWD. Other than that it’s got nothing really going for it. Ill still take the sedan over it but even so it’s not much better.

@@samirfakoua Other cars have launch control for marketing - to write in the brochure they can do a faster 0-100 even if in the reality you never use that launch control because it looks stupid to stay at a red light waiting with the engine revving at 4000rpm... Racing in the city is not fun. A lot of traffic, pedestrians, traffic lights etc. Maybe you don't exceed 120, but in other countries on a highway pull this will be faster than a lot of cars with better 0-100 on paper (and in reality). If you want a big family wagon this car is ok. Those with DCTs are crap in city area. And they aren't faster at overtaking.

would be so much better if it was a standard torque converter or a Dct. dont get why they had to use a Cvt for the auto

Yes. WRX with CVT - Jeeesh!! I know manuals are a niche market, but then current sedan WRX gets a manual, so the platform design DOES support a full manual. Why not in the wagon too?

Because they add bs fake gears which makes them inefficient

Looks, weight gain is minimal probably 1 - 2kg if that

@@mitchell5064 buddy tgose pans are not light. Weight gain aint minimal.

@@mitchell5064 mufflers weigh way more than 1kg. More like 10kg each.

@@mrnicktoyou still never noticeable, wouldn’t be worried about it

BRZ?

Sadly its the cvt transmission. Subaru lost its touch after 2015

idk but prolly 400nm

Here here !! Where do I sign?

Mighty Car Mods did a STI gearbox and Engine swap on a Levorg. Check their page, its awesome

@@tellyawhatmate yeah I've seen that. Wish it was easy lol. Gearbox and loom anyway.

Would be another 20 years before they made a reliable DCT lol

And I think my current CX5 Turbo Big Blue Box would leave it for dead.....

@@acstagger I wouldn't be surprised!
