About this generation

The sixth generation of the Subaru Legacy made its debut at the 2014 Chicago Auto Show, and went into production for the 2015 model year. A 2.5-litre flat-four FB25 and a 3.6-litre flat-six EZ36D are carried over from the fifth-generation model. Output is slightly increased on the four-cylinder model. The six-cylinder model remains unchanged from the 3.6-litre engine. The Legacy still uniquely offers standard all-wheel drive and horizontally opposed engine layouts, but discontinues the manual transmission for the US market in favor of the Lineartronic CVT on both engine configurations.

The US market 2016 Legacy achieves a notable 36 highway MPG when equipped with the 2.5-litre flat-four.
