The 2018 Legacy, the roomiest sedan in the midsize segment, is available in a 2.5i model with an efficient and responsive 175-hp 2.5-liter 4-cylinder BOXER engine and as the Legacy 3.6R Limited with a 256-hp 3.6-liter 6-cylinder BOXER engine. Both engines come standard with the Lineartronic® CVT (continuously variable transmission) with manual mode and paddle shift control switches. A retuned ECU for 2018 provides the CVT with smoother and more responsive acceleration. The 2.5i is available in standard, Premium, and Sport trims; Limited offers a choice of 2.5i or 3.6R engines. Subaru Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive and Active Torque Vectoring are standard in all trims, making the Legacy the only midsize sedan to feature all-wheel drive standard on all models. Already an exemplar of passenger safety, the Legacy adds to its array of driver-assist features for 2018, including available new Steering Responsive Headlights (SRH). Available in conjunction with LED headlights, SRH aims the lights into turns as the driver steers. Also for 2018, models with EyeSight® Driver Assist Technology utilize the system’s cameras for High Beam Assist, which automatically turns the high beams on and off depending on traffic conditions.
