Subaru Legacy Wagon station wagon features

Symmetrical AWD

The Subaru AWD all-wheel drive system provides constant and reliable traction of all four wheels with the road. This is especially useful in bad weather or during sharp maneuvers, such as avoiding a collision.

Audio System

The new Legacy features an upgraded audio system. Its 6 speakers have been adapted for the more spacious cabin and improved sound insulation of the model. The head unit is equipped with a 6-disc CD changer and plays MP3 and WMA files. Automatic volume adjustment depending on the vehicle's speed is provided. SRS Circle Surround Automotive technology creates surround sound that reaches the driver and passengers naturally and clearly.

Paddle Shifters

Sport mode with manual gear shifting is implemented via paddle shifters. This function is available both for the Lineartronic CVT and for the new 5-speed automatic transmission of the Legacy model.

External Device Connection Port

The standard equipment of the car includes an additional audio input. You can connect an iPod3 or another portable device to it for listening to music. This allows you to play digital audio recordings through the standard Outback sound system.

Subaru Dynamic Chassis Control Concept

The new generation Legacy uses Subaru's Dynamic Control chassis (DC3), which has improved the vehicle's balance, safety, and responsiveness. To increase strength and reduce body weight, more high-tensile steel elements have been used in its construction. The introduction of an engine subframe has increased front-end rigidity, reducing the transmission of vibrations from the engine and suspension to the cabin and improving ride smoothness. Steering precision has increased, making reactions to driver inputs more natural.

Lineartronic CVT

Lineartronic transmission is a continuously variable transmission (CVT) of longitudinal layout of chain type, first installed on a production car. Unlike traditional belts, it uses a chain, which allowed to increase the range of gear ratios. This design improves acceleration dynamics, reduces fuel consumption, and provides a faster response to pressing the gas pedal. The compact dimensions of the transmission freed up more space for the legs of the driver and front passenger. Lineartronic allows the engine to operate in the optimal mode for a given speed, combining high power with efficiency. The transmission settings provide an instant response to any movement of the accelerator pedal.

SI-DRIVE System

The SI-DRIVE system guarantees you driving pleasure in any driving conditions. You will appreciate its effectiveness both in urban conditions or on the highway, and when driving on winding mountain roads. With one turn of the knob, the engine and transmission performance mode can be changed according to the driver's preferences. Sport mode provides smooth engine performance at any speed. This mode is optimal for everyday trips for drivers who prefer a dynamic driving style. Pressing the accelerator pedal, you will immediately feel the power and linear nature of acceleration. And all this thanks to the legendary SUBARU BOXER engine with high torque across all rpm ranges. Sport Sharp mode (S#) ensures the use of the engine's maximum potential with an emphasis on high dynamics. The response to pressing the accelerator pedal becomes even more powerful and faster, as does the acceleration of the car itself. Shifting in the automatic transmission occurs at higher rpm. In the reverse mode of downshifting, the transmission provides a mechanism for instant downshifting, maintaining torque at the top of the torque curve. Intelligent mode is activated by pressing the SI-DRIVE system control knob. This mode is ideal for daily trips, as it provides an optimal balance of good throttle response and high environmental performance. The throttle control map ensures high smoothness of ride and high fuel efficiency. In addition, this is the optimal mode that ensures high controllability when driving on slippery roads or moving around the city.
