Legacy
Sophistication and performance
Some cars look smart. Some cars perform well. The Legacy can do both at the same time, on almost any road in the country. The high performance, fuel-efficient Boxer engine comes in a range of diesel and petrol options, all sporting our low centre of gravity design for superb handling and super-stable cornering.
Subaru’s All Wheel Drive and exceptional safety standards across the range mean you’ll have total confidence. This new generation Legacy is also the largest and most luxurious Legacy ever, packed with technological innovations to bring you safety, fuel economy and superior driving performance.
