Subaru Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive was engineered to give drivers the best traction system available.

Better traction means better control and handling.

It expands a vehicle’s limits and the conditions in which it performs. Traction increases the confidence a driver can put in their vehicle. Subaru believes in traction. It’s why Subaru owners believe in their vehicles.

All Weather Conditions

Accident Avoidance

Spirited Handling

Multiple Road Types

Snow and rain can surprise even the best planners. Be ready for less-than-ideal conditions with the exceptional traction, handling and control of Subaru AWD.

When danger steps into your path, the safest route is to step right around it. The trademark traction and control of Subaru AWD helps you stay safe by staying ready.

You won’t be the first to be impressed by the handling and agility of the Legacy. Subaru AWD maximizes the feeling of being connected to the road with its remarkable balance and grip.

Subaru AWD provides the adhesion to own your favorite stretch of immaculate asphalt. And it also gives you the freedom to tackle a myriad of road surfaces with confidence.

The Advantages of Subaru Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive All AWD systems are not the same. For more than 30 years, Subaru has been engineering Subaru Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive to have distinct advantages over other systems. Almost total side-to-side symmetry creates optimal balance for stability and sharp handling.

And since power flows in a more direct path from the engine to all four wheels, it works with brilliant efficiency for secure grip and quicker response to slippage.

Superior Control The Subaru Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive System, with its fore, aft and lateral balance, results in exceptional handling overall. Unlike a rear-wheel drive car which may oversteer, or a front-wheel drive car that is more prone to understeer, the full-time symmetrical AWD of the Legacy transfers power to all four wheels for more stable, neutral cornering. The result?

Greater safety and intensiďŹ ed performance.

SYMMETRICAL AWD FRONT-WHEEL DRIVE (FWD) REAR-WHEEL DRIVE (RWD)

Instantaneous Response

Road Adhesion

Only four small patches of rubber keep you in control of your vehicle. The more your tires are engaged, the more control you have. Unlike FWD or RWD vehicles, the Subaru Symmetrical AWD system keeps power routed to all four tires. So they’re all ready to respond when you use the throttle, especially in tight curves or unexpected maneuvers.

The greater the grip the tires have on the road, the more predictable your car becomes. With all four wheels receiving power all the time, chances are much more likely that tires will stick to the road, avoiding slippage, and your vehicle will stay on the intended trajectory. Think of it as prevention rather than reaction.

Performance and Handling The true measure of a sport sedan is how it makes you feel.

It’s when you experience the joy of being in complete control over every one of your movements, piloting a machine that is an extension of yourself. It’s in driving a car with quick reflexes that gives you unfazed predictability through S-curves, hairpins and switchbacks. That’s why every component of the Legacy is geared toward delivering a distinct experience that moves you physically. And emotionally.

Subaru Boxer Engine

Suspension

The flat, horizontally opposed configuration empowers the Legacy with a lower center of gravity, delivering precise handling and enhanced stability. The result is a car that goes where you want it to, especially when changing directions quickly, impressing driving enthusiasts and safety experts alike.

The inspiration Subaru engineers gained from driving on some of the world’s greatest roads, coupled with the insights learned from the daily rigors of realworld driving, went into the development of our 4-wheel independent suspension. The result? The responsiveness of a precision-tuned vehicle that also provides a supple, fluid ride.

2.5GT Spec. B and 3.0R Limited Suspensions Outfitted with a Bilstein® sport suspension, the 2.5GT spec.B and the 3.0R Limited take it a step beyond.

The spec.B suspension uses aluminum components to reduce weight. Both ride on 18-inch wheels with wide, performance-oriented tires to maintain optimal adhesion. All working together to form an intimate connection to the road.

4-stage heated front seats Performance-design front seats

Models equipped with 5- or 6-speed manual transmissions utilize a viscous-type locking center differential with torque distribution normally configured at a 50/50-split front-to-rear. If wheel speed differs between front and rear axles, the system helps distribute power to the wheels with the most traction.

2.5GT Limited and 3.0R models equipped with a viscous-type limited-slip rear differential. 2.5GT spec.B equipped with a Torsen® limited-slip rear differential.

Models equipped with 4-speed automatic transmission utilize an electronically controlled variable transfer clutch to distribute power to where traction is needed. Sensors monitor parameters such as wheel slippage, throttle position and braking, to help determine torque distribution and direct it to the wheels with optimum traction.

Models equipped with 5-speed automatic transmission utilize an electronically controlled variable transfer clutch in conjunction with a planetarytype center differential and a viscous-type limited-slip rear differential. Torque distribution is normally configured at a performance-oriented rearwheel-biased 45/55-split front-to-rear. Sensors monitor parameters such as wheel slippage, throttle position and braking to help determine torque distribution and direct it to the wheels with optimum traction.

STABILITY AND TRACTION

Vehicle Dynamics Control (VDC)

Traction Control System (TCS)

VDC electronic stability control utilizes sensors which constantly monitor wheel speeds, steering angle, brake pressure, vehicle yaw rate and lateral g-forces. If VDC detects a difference between the driver’s intended path and the one the vehicle is actually taking, VDC applies braking power and/or reduces engine torque to help correct vehicle path. 2.5i, 2.5i Special Edition, 2.5i Limited, 2.5GT Limited with automatic transmission, 3.0R and 3.0R Limited: Standard. 2.5GT Limited with manual transmission: Not available.

VDC also incorporates an all-wheel, all-speed traction control system which senses a loss of traction and applies braking force to the slipping wheel or wheels as necessary to maintain vehicle motion.

• Standard ° Optional - Not available 2009 Subaru Legacy non-turbo 2.5-liter models achieving a Partial Zero Emission Vehicle (PZEV) rating by the California Air Resources Board are available in all 50 states. Only those distributed in California, Connecticut, Maine, Massachusetts, New York, Rhode Island, Vermont and Washington are eligible for the 15 years/150,000 mile emissions warranty. (PA adopted CA LEV for 2008, but does not have PZEV warranty coverage.)

California PZEV certified vehicles are considered the cleanest gasoline powered vehicles because they meet California’s strongest tailpipe emissions standard for Super Ultra Low Emission Vehicles (SULEV). (Subaru offers other 2009 model emissions warranties for high-cost parts in only those states adopting the CA LEV Program.) 2 2009 EPA fuel economy estimates. Actual mileage may vary. 3 Regular unleaded gasoline with an octane rating of 87 AKI or greater may be used. Using regular unleaded gasoline could result in reduced engine performance. See Owner’s Manual for more detailed information. 4 With Off-Black leather upholstery. See color combinations chart. 5 With Warm Ivory leather upholstery. See color combinations chart. 6 Optional navigation system replaces in-dash storage compartment. 7 Available as an accessory. See your dealer. Satellite radio hardware and required monthly subscription sold separately. 8 Available only with optional automatic transmission. 9 The Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) affords the driver and the front passenger additional protection in moderate to severe frontal and side-impact collisions and outboard 2nd-row passengers additional protection in moderate to severe side-impact collisions. This system provides supplemental protection only, and seatbelts must be worn in order to avoid injuries to out-of-position occupants upon airbag deployment and to provide the best combined protection in a serious accident. Children should always be properly restrained in one of the rear seats. See Owner’s Manual for recommended seating position.
