Subaru debuts seventh-generation Legacy
Subaru has introduced the all-new seventh-generation 2020 Legacy sedan – the most advanced Legacy in the model’s 30-year history.
With standard Subaru Symmetrical AllWheel Drive and EyeSight Driver Assist Technology as well as available tablet-style high-definition 11.6-inch Subaru Starlink multimedia screen, DriverFocus Distraction Mitigation System and new XT models with 260 hp, the 2020 Legacy offers greater technology, performance, safety and refinement than ever before.
It is built on the Subaru Global Platform, which offers increased safety, dynamics and quietness not to mention reduced noise, vibration and harshness (NVH)
The new XT designations mark the return of a turbocharged engine to the Legacy lineup, thanks to a 260 hp 2.4-litre directinjection Subaru Boxer engine, while other models sport an enhanced 182 hp 2.5-litre direct-injection Boxer engine.
Every 2020 Legacy features a Lineartronic Continuously Variable Transmission (CVT), auto stop/start and Subaru Symmetrical AllWheel Drive with Active Torque Vectoring.
Introduced for 2017, the Subaru Global Platform has been optimized for the midsize Legacy, boasting a structure that is 70 per cent stiffer in both torsional and frontsuspension rigidity and 100 per cent stiffer in both front lateral flexural and rear subframe rigidity compared to the previous Legacy’s platform.
Front and centre, and highlighting Legacy’s upscale interior, is an all-new tablet-style 11.6-inch Full HD multimedia display, the largest, most advanced infotainment screen ever in a Subaru.
For the first time in Legacy, available in-car Wi-Fi connectivity provides smooth internet access via high-speed LTE communications, broadening the range of entertainment options available to rear-seat occupants using smart devices.
