Around this time last month, the first images of the 2010 Subaru Liberty Touring - sold just about everywhere else as the Legacy - made their way online. Now, the Japanese-market version of Subaru’s new wagon has had a proper reveal.

The Australian-delivered model will be based on the Japanese version, so if you’re in the market for a new wagon, this is a glimpse of what to expect at Subaru dealerships later this year.

As to be expected, the technical details are much the same as the sedan version, with a 126kW 2.5 litre four-cylinder replacing the previous 2.0 litre unit, and a 190kW 3.6 litre flat six succeeding the 3.0 litre mill.

The performance model - the Liberty GT (sold in Japan as the B4) gets a boost as well, developing 197kW and 349Nm of torque.

All models will feature Subaru’s symmetrical all-wheel-drive, with a new CVT transmission joining the six-speed manual and five-speed automatic options.
