The Subaru Legacy is a mid-size sedan and wagon that Subaru introduced in 1989 as its first model built specifically for the North American and broader export markets, offered with the brand's signature horizontally opposed boxer engine and, in most versions, standard all wheel drive. It has served for decades as Subaru's flagship passenger car, distinguishing the brand from mainstream front wheel drive competitors in its class.
