Subaru’s STI-tuned Exiga 2.0GT revealed in Tokyo
Subaru has revealed a limited edition Exiga 2.0GT that has been prepped by the auto maker’s STI division. The 7-seater station wagon has a 2.0 liter turbocharged engine under its hood. The 4-cylinder boxer unit that is linked to a 5-speed automatic transmission is able to churn out 221hp.
The exterior of the new Exiga variant is treated to features including 17-inch alloy wheels, a sports exhaust as well as a front lip spoiler and side skirts. Inside, you would be surrounded by sport seats finished with leather, alcantara and red stitching, carbon fiber trim, aluminium pedals and STI gauges in the instrument panel. STI-badging on the steering wheel, gear knob, seats covers and on the engine start-stop button make up the rest of the interior upgrades.
Apart from the upgrades above, STI also worked its magic on the chassis with tuning performed on areas like the suspension and steering systems. Unfortunately the Exiga 2.0GT STI is only planned for the Japanese market and only 300 units will be rolled out. Each costs 3,591,000 yen (about RM 133,000). Look for more images after the jump.

… Everything must be link to Proton…
Have u all notice that actually Proton saga got a bit same like Hyundai Getz in the front?!? Heard a korean guy said that when BLM was lunched…
Besides that Subaru 4wd + boxer engine already famous around the world… Even USA win a few awards there for their SUV, Forester.. How can we compare our car with them in term of technology & design wise?

The Saga BLM was designed with consultation from a Korean firm, so it’s not surprising…
