Subaru Legacy was the only mid-size sedan that was offered as standard with an all-wheel-drive system, regardless of the trim level or the engine choice. And the 2014 model made no exception.
Subaru chose to replace its flagship model, the Legacy, more often than the regular 8-years or more used for other car-makers. That is why the 2015 model, launched in 2014, was the seventh generation of a car that was unveiled for the first time in 1989. In the beginning, the Legacy was developed also as a rally car, but its smaller brother, the Impreza, was better on that game and remained the key member in the WRC program.
The 2015 Legacy was still a sport sedan, with a performance-oriented everything. The outside styling was sporty, with an aggressive look on its headlights and its big grille surrounded by a chromed rim. The bumper featured a central air-scoop and side-pods for the fog lights. In the back, a trunk-incorporated lip added a final touch of sportiness.
Inside, the car was outdated from the design point of view even when it was launched on the market. The high-mounted audio system and the bland style was unusual for that year. Other car-makers already featured infotainment units fitted as standard, but not Subaru.
The main advantage of the Legacy was the drivetrain. Its symmetrical all-wheel-drive system ensured a safe journey even under the harshest road conditions on snow, gravel, mud, or ice. The car was offered with two engine choices and a CVT.
