What Changed

The new Legacy sedan grows in wheelbase and width increasing rear seat leg room by some 4 inches. The Legacy continues to offer a choice of 4- or 6-cylinder boxer engines. The displacement of the 6-cylinder engine has increased to 3.6L. Legacy 2.5i models equip a CVT transmission in place of the traditional automatic. The CVT equipped models turn in better fuel economy.
