Few cars drive with the self-assured confidence of the Legacy, so you won’t be surprised by how
uniquely it is accomplished. The configuration of the SUBARU BOXER® engine gives it a lower,
flatter profile than other engine types. This gives the engine, and therefore the overall vehicle, a
lower centre of gravity and a better sense of balance. Further, the pistons’ opposing movements
naturally help to reduce vibrations.

2.5-LITRE DOHC SUBARU BOXER® ENGINE
Already naturally smooth and strong, the Legacy’s 2.5-litre
DOHC engine is powerful and fuel-efficient. Its mid- to lowrange torque offers power when you need it from a complete
stop. You’ll also find that it’s responsive around town and
satisfying on the highway, thanks to a remarkable 174 lb-ft of
torque. When combined with the available Lineartronic® CVT,
it’s even more fuel-efficient and clean-running, making it
kinder to your wallet and the environment.
MAX OUTPUT: 175 hp @ 5800 rpm

need to pass another car or start from a stop at a red light
or stop sign. And to help ensure your Legacy gets optimal
fuel economy at every speed, the 3.6-litre engine has
