The New Subaru Legacy

Foremost, the Legacy is designed as a sedan from the onset. It offers maximum capacity and capability for its faithful owners. The doors open wide for everyone to get inside without hassle.  Not only do you have the security of a trunk, access is low - to the bumper - for easier loading and unloading of its contents. 

The Legacy comes with a choice of two horizontally opposed Subaru BOXER® engines. It starts with a 2.5-liter four-cylinder engine with 182 horsepower and 176 pound-feet of torque. It provides ample power for anything it is asked to do, while returning good fuel economy - up to 35 MPG on the highway. 

XT models have the 2.4 liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine with 260 horsepower and 277 pound-feet of torque for massive power when it needs it. It is also efficient, earning an EPA rating of 32 MPG on the highway. Both engines are connected to a Lineartronic® CVT transmission with a 6-speed manual mode. 

Only Subaru offers standard Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive for superb traction all year round. The design of the system is rooted in its horizontally-opposed engines, which provide a lower center of gravity for optimal operation of the system. Within the system, there is standard Active Torque Split, which distributes power between the two axles depending on actual throttle response. Active Torque Vectoring is an enhancement on the standard Vehicle Dynamics Control stability and traction control system. It allows for more neutral cornering, even in wet or snowy surfaces. This all-wheel drive system is made for year-round capabilities in the snow, on wet surfaces and wherever there is no road at all. 

Legacy drivers will love how well laid out the cabin is. It seats five, plus 15.0 cubic feet of trunk space behind the rear seats. Fold down the rear seats, and there is expandable room for longer items. Drivers have great access to a clean instrument cluster, superb controls all around and great vision all around. 

STARLINK is how a Subaru driver communicates, stays informed, and entertains. It is a hub of connected services, now including smartphone connections, such as Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. Plus, STARLINK offers enhanced service offered by SiriusXM, including real-time Traffic reporting. Certain trim levels will include STARLINK Safety Plus and Security Plus packages that reports accident information and stolen vehicle tracking. Depending on trim, the touch screen measures to 7.0 or 11.6 inches. 

Subarus are built safe and secure. The Legacy is no exception. It all starts with Eyesight, the most advanced driver assistance technology in the automotive industry. It uses stereo cameras to sense the road ahead enabling such features as Adaptive Cruise Control, Pre-Collision Braking, Vehicle Lane Departure Warning and Lane Keep Assist. It is one of the highest rated active safety system according to the Insurance Institute of Highway Safety. Other active safety features available on the Legacy include Blind Spot Detection and Rear Cross Traffic Alert, as well as Reverse Automatic Braking and High Beam Assist, when equipped with Eyesight.

The Legacy sedan start at $22,995. Trim levels include Base, Premium, Sport, Limited, Limited XT and Touring XT.
