Subaru’s game changer
It’s been a while since the announcement of the Subaru Legacy’s discontinuation came out. 2025 marks the final year of Gunma’s all-wheel drive midsize sedan, wrapping up 36 years of production. Blame it on the rise of SUVs and crossovers of all shapes and sizes for the decline of the traditional midsize sedan.
For the brand to be taken seriously in the US, Subaru needed a car that could go up against the best-sellers at the time: The Toyota Camry and Honda Accord. The result of that ambition was, well, the Legacy.While Subaru hallmarks such as the boxer engine and all-wheel drive were present, the Legacy was actually a huge break from Subaru tradition. For staters, it was the company’s first-ever attempt at an executive midsize sedan.
From a humble 1.8-liter all the way to a 2.0-liter turbo, there was a Legacy for everyone. The best part was, those can be mixed and matched to both sedan and wagon body styles, giving the buyer more freedom of choice. On paper, the Legacy had a simple formula, but it’s one that worked not just in Japan but also in the US.
