WHILST WE COULD BE TALKING about the current pandemic restrictions, it’s nothing so monumental, although lovers of the popular Subaru Liberty may beg to differ.
The Liberty is about to be delisted, but in honour of its 31 years of success in Australia, a very exclusive Final Edition of just 31 vehicles, is now on sale.
Based on the Liberty 2.5i Premium, the Final Edition adds a long list of extra equipment, valued at $6400 (Subaru prices) – but with a price of $39,930 (plus on road costs), it is just $1990 more than the standard Liberty 2.5i Premium.
The Liberty Final Edition additional features are:
- 18-inch STI alloy wheels (wheel colour dependent on exterior paint colour)
- STI front lip spoiler
- Rear boot lip spoiler
- Front grille – mesh pattern
- Numbered internal badge – Final Edition
- Harman Kardon speakers, subwoofer and amplifier
- Seat and interior trim – Ultrasuede inserts
- Blue stitching – seats, armrests, dash
- Black stitching – steering wheel
- Black interior highlights (air vents, dash, door trim, steering wheel)
- Black exterior highlights (fog light surround, side skirt garnish, door mirror covers and rear exterior badges)
Adding to the Final Edition cache, it is only available in three colours, each with a different alloy wheel finish:
- Magnetite Grey, with black wheels – 15 cars
- Crystal Black, with silver wheels – 10 cars
- Crystal White, with gunmetal wheels – 6 cars
News of the Final Edition follows Subaru’s confirmation in September that after 31 years as a cornerstone of its range, the end of the Liberty era was imminent.
Subaru Australia General Manager, Blair Read, said: “We wanted to mark the end of Liberty’s distinguished history with the brand in a truly exclusive way and these individually numbered vehicles are a tribute to what it has contributed to Subaru over more than three decades.”
Liberty lovers are urged to move quickly.
