Is the Subaru Levorg all-wheel drive?

Yes. Every VM Levorg grade sold in Australia came standard with Subaru Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive paired to a Lineartronic CVT, so there was no front-wheel-drive or manual option.

What is the difference between the 1.6 and 2.0 Levorg?

The 1.6 GT and 1.6 GT Premium use a 1.6-litre turbo Boxer making 125kW/250Nm, while the 2.0 GT-S and 2.0 STI Sport use a 2.0-litre turbo Boxer making 197kW/350Nm with Bilstein suspension and larger 18-inch wheels for a sportier, quicker drive.

The VM Subaru Levorg (2016-2021) is a turbocharged Boxer Sports Wagon with standard Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive and a Lineartronic CVT across every grade. Buyers chose between the 125kW 1.6-litre (1.6 GT, 1.6 GT Premium) and the 197kW 2.0-litre (2.0 GT-S, 2.0 STI Sport), all carrying a 5-star ANCAP rating and Subaru's EyeSight driver-assist. It's a practical 489L wagon with genuine performance, though the CVT and turbo boxer mean fuel use and servicing are worth budgeting for on a used example.
