Subaru didn't want to waste too much time with facelifted versions and introduced the Legacy's third-generation after just six years from the second generation's launch.
By 2002 Subaru was already a known name among car enthusiasts, and the Impreza was a top contender in the World Rally Championship. For those who needed a good, reliable, spacious vehicle, the Japanese carmaker made the Legacy, and especially the Legacy Wagon. A car designed for families that offered all-wheel-drive safety and the comfort provided by independent suspension in all corners.
The carmaker improved the car's design, understanding that a good look will help a car sells better. Even though it wasn't everyone's vanilla, it showed that it tried to make it better. The bigger headlights and taller grille offered a better stance for the Japanese all-wheel-drive wagon.
Inside, the Japanese carmaker offered premium-segment details such as automatic climate control, leather seats, and plenty of room for five, despite the transmission tunnel that crossed the vehicle from front to back. Subaru asked the designers to install low seats to help in the corners with a lowered gravity center. For a good impression on long trips, the carmaker included a 6-CD changer as standard on the upper trim levels. Thanks to its rear split-folding bench, the Legacy Wagon provided up to 68.6 cu-ft (1942 liters) and a cargo area length of up to 6.25 ft (1.90 m).
Subaru installed a boxer engine under the hood mated to either a 5-speed manual or a four-speed automatic. A flat-six engine with a 3.0-liter displacement was available on selected markets only, and so was with the turbocharged 2.0-liter version. The turbocharged versions featured an air-intake on the hood for the intercooler.
