LINEARTRONIC® CVT + ACTIVE TORQUE SPLIT AWD For instant, seamless response to changing conditions, the Legacy 2.5i model is available with Lineartronic® CVT, a Continuously Variable Transmission that uses a chain instead of a belt—allowing a greater span of overall ratios for improved performance and efficiency as well as a faster response to your throttle input. It’s longitudinally paired with an active torque-split AWD system that responds to traction conditions, the transmission and driver inputs by continuously controlling the torque distribution front to rear. Paddle shifters also provide a six-step manual mode for quick response on demand. PADDLE SHIFTERS Every Legacy equipped with the innovative Lineartronic® CVT or 5-speed automatic transmission includes a sporty manual mode with paddle shifters mounted on the steering wheel. CRUISE CONTROL Standard electronic cruise control allows the driver to maintain a preset speed on the open road. Elegant metallicfinished controls are located on the steering wheel. 11
