The squarer-cut second-generation Subaru Leone arrived in the UK in 1980, and was sold here as the 1600GL and 1800GLF. The new car kept faithful to the original formula, but offered more equipment and interior room, and continued to sell well into the ‘80s. Subaru’s signature flat-four and frameless side windows were retained.

As before, the car was offered as a two-door coupe, four-door saloon, and five-door estate – all with dual range  four- and front-wheel drive. A hatchback was added to the range, as well, which sold in limited numbers in the UK.
