WHAT’S INSIDE:
Legacy of fers a choice in transmissions, each one
mated to its own variation of Symmetrical AWD.
WHAT IT DOES:
The choice is yours. Whether you decide on a manual
or automatic transmission, you’ll always enjoy the
distinctly stable balance and control of the Subaru
Symmetrical Full-Time AWD.
6-SPEED MANUAL TR ANSMISSION + VISCOUS
CENTRE DIFFERENTIAL AWD
For maximum control and spor t y satisfac tion, a slickshifting 6-speed manual transmission is standard on 2.5i
models. It’s paired with an AWD system utilizing a centre
differential with viscous LSD (Limited Slip Differential).
If wheel speed differs between the front and rear axles,
the system helps distribute power to the wheels with the
most traction. The 6-speed offers smoother, more precise
shifting, along with the compact size and light weight that
add to Legacy’s sporty feel.
5-SPEED AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION + VARIABLE
TORQUE DISTRIBUTION AWD
Legacy 3.6R models are equipped with a refined 5EAT
automatic transmission paired with Variable Torque
Distribution (VTD) AWD. VTD instantaneously distributes
the engine’s torque to all four wheels with a slight rear
wheel bias for enhanced handling, superior trac tion
and s tabilit y. The elec tronic ally controlled 5 -speed
transmission features driver-adaptive shifting, blipping
control for quicker, smoother downshifts, and manual-style
control via paddle shifters.
