Introducing the all-new 2010 Subaru Legacy.
Love the possibilities.

When choosing what to drive, make sure it’s something that drives you.
A new hobby. A new favorite drive. A new way to engage with life every day. Subaru
vehicles are uniquely designed and equipped to get you out, to connect you to
the road, and to inspire you to embrace more of life’s opportunities. It all starts with
the balance of Subaru Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive. Standard on every Subaru, it
gives you the stability and control to drive where you want, when you want—always
with the greatest confidence. That poise is matched with the reassurance of being
protected by award-winning safety. It’s why we hear again and again, “I love my Subaru.”
Love. It’s what makes a Subaru, a Subaru.

Subaru Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive

In any driving environment, control of your vehicle comes from one place—where your tires meet the
road. Rough or smooth. Curves or straight-aways. A sure grip of the road can give you the control
to step around danger, and the engagement to find exhilaration in every strip of asphalt. Subaru has
spent nearly 40 years developing a system for traction and control that employs an almost perfectly
symmetrical layout to maximize power delivery to the wheels, and to create balance and stability that
can heighten your enjoyment of every experience you have behind the wheel.

Better Balance

Every Subaru is built for AWD from the ground up. Each one
features a longitudinally mounted engine that feeds power to the
all-wheel drive system in a straight line. Which results in a balanced
drivetrain with almost total side-to-side symmetry that is free of the
extra components some other systems need to route power. This
symmetry and balance means stability that helps make driving your
Subaru safer and agility that makes it more fun.

Efficient Design

Because some systems lack the simplicity of Subaru
Symmetrical AWD, they not only sacrifice efficiency, but also
can incur more wear and tear. Subaru routes power directly
from the engine to all four wheels to keep components—and
frictional power losses—to a minimum. All while maximizing
the seamless feeling of traction whenever you need it.

Quicker Response

There are only four small patches of rubber that keep you in
control of your vehicle. The more your tires are engaged, the
more control you have. Subaru Symmetrical AWD keeps power
routed to all four tires all the time, so it doesn’t have to react to
slippage that has already occurred. Rather, it keeps your tires
as fully engaged with the road as possible.

Your Cabin

The interior of the all-new Legacy has been completely redesigned to give every
passenger more room. Hip room in the front, legroom in the back, and headroom
all around have seen generous enhancements for greater comfort. You’ll also find
features and design that make this space more purposeful and rewarding than
ever. Opt for the 440-watt, 9-speaker harman/kardon premium audio system—
with Bluetooth hands-free calling standard—and immerse yourself in your music
with its stunning clarity. And with the newly available voice-activated navigation
system, you can program destinations and find points of interest with spoken
commands. This totally new nav system also features upgraded Bluetooth
capability to include streaming audio.

Horizontally Opposed Design

The pistons move in 180-degree opposition
to each other on a horizontal plane, so
each naturally cancels out the vibration of
the piston opposite it.

Durable Design

The engine’s flat design is inherently rigid,
and reduces the amount of vibration that
“V” or inline engines—with more upright
pistons—are subjected to during operation.

Lower Center of Gravity

The flatter profile and perfectly symmetrical
design of the engine block, and the fact that
it sits lower in the chassis, make the overall
vehicle more stably balanced and resistant
to side-to-side motion than other designs.

Horizontally Opposed Design

The pistons move in 180-degree opposition
to each other on a horizontal plane, so
each naturally cancels out the vibration of
the piston opposite it.

Smoother Operation

Step on the accelerator and the revs come
on smooth. While there’s plenty of power
when you need it, it never compromises
your comfort or control.

Increased Reliability

An engine subjected to less vibration lasts
longer. It’s no wonder 94% of Subaru
vehicles built in the last 10 years are still
on the road today.

Greater Agility

The vehicle responds more quickly to changes
in direction, which gives a feeling of tightness
in turns. And it’s less likely to become unstable
during maneuvers, giving you an increased
feeling of being in control at all times.

Subaru Boxer Engine

We think about engines a little differently. We believe an engine should deliver
both power and control. That way, it performs as well in rush-hour traffic as it
does on a winding road. That’s why every Subaru is powered by the SUBARU
BOXER® engine. Its horizontally opposed design and symmetrical layout provide
powerful, yet smooth acceleration, but also give drivers balance and stability
that set it apart from engines with a “V” or inline configuration. It’s an insightful
difference that has the power to make driving more engaging.
