-

Subaru Canada has announces the updated 2018 Legacy will be available in Subaru dealership­s across Canada this summer with a starting price of $24,995.

With its major refresh, offering enhanced ride quality, handling and steering feel, the 2018 Legacy sedan looks sleek and appealing, is safer and more functional, and comes with several enhanced infotainme­nt features.

For 2018, the Subaru Legacy lineup includes five trims: the Legacy 2.5i, 2.5i Touring (available with optional EyeSight Package), 2.5i Sport with EyeSight Package, 2.5i Limited with EyeSight Package and the 3.6R Limited with EyeSight Package.

The manual transmissi­on option has been discontinu­ed.

For 2018, the Subaru Legacy achieves an improved look through revisions to the front grille, front bumper, door mirrors and rear bumper.

The standard continuous­ly variable transmissi­on on 2.5i models gains a new seven-speed manual mode, and all Legacy 2.5i models are also now PZEV-rated. Partial zero emissions vehicles have zero evaporativ­e emissions from their fuel systems and meet SULEV (super ultra low emissions vehicle) tailpipe-emission standards.

The brake booster feature has been revised to improve stopping power.

For the 2018 model year, all Legacy models are enhanced with next-generation safety features, including a stronger chassis, improved child seat anchors, window off-delay timer and a new auto door lock feature and collision detection feature that will automatica­lly unlock the doors if necessary. On the practical side, Subaru has revised the steering wheel, steering-wheel switches, and improved the steering feel for better control.

The Legacy also features added dual USB slots for rear-seat passengers, and improved air conditioni­ng. A standard 6.5-inch infotainme­nt system that now comes complete with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, allowing easy access to your smartphone device. As well, acoustic front door glass reduces engine, wind and road noise in the cabin.

 ??  ?? Boasting a sleeker design, both inside and out, the 2018 Subaru Legacy sedan will have a starting price of $24,995.
