Power to please.
Confidence you can feel.
Surefooted with plenty of power, the 2016 Legacy is agile and responsive, thanks to a precision-tuned
suspension and steering, and is exceptionally capable with standard Subaru Symmetrical All-Wheel
Drive. In nearly any weather condition, you’ll feel confident and in control.
Precision-tuned Steering
and Sharp Handling
There’s plenty of fun to be had in the
2016 Legacy with precision-tuned steering
to make it agile and responsive. Plus
it’s remarkably quiet inside with minimal
vibration, thanks to its aerodynamics,
insulation and stiff frame. Its Active Torque
Vectoring also supplies sharp turns
and precise handling for an especially
engaging drive.
Suspension and Chassis
Combining years of rally racing experience
and the demands of daily real-world
driving, the Legacy 4-wheel independent
suspension has been tuned to maximize
the feel you have for the road. The double-
wishbone rear suspension absorbs the
worst of the bumps without unsettling the
rigid chassis. And, complemented with
MacPherson struts up front, it’s a tight, yet
supple ride that always leaves you in touch
and in control.
3.6-liter 6-cylinder
A wealth of ultra-smooth power at the ready.
That's the hallmark of the 3.6-liter 6-cylinder—
the largest SUBARU BOXER® engine available.
It produces 256 horsepower and 247 lb-ft of
torque, moving the Legacy 3.6R with effortless
confidence over the road. For smooth shifting
to match the delivery of power, it's paired with
the Lineartronic® CVT with paddle shifters.
Lineartronic® CVT
Designed to get the most out of your
SUBARU BOXER® engine and Symmetrical
AWD, the efficient Lineartronic® Continuously
Variable Transmission keeps the engine in
its ideal power range to give the Legacy its
remarkable 36 highway MPG.1 Paddle shifters
with a 6-speed manual mode supply quick
access to power and torque on the fly, while
the Lineartronic® in the 3.6R also handles the
higher-torque output with less mechanical
noise for a smoother, quieter drive. Should the
weather turn rough, you can also count on its
standard Subaru Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive
for exceptional confidence and control.
