Subaru Legacy evolution

Launched to enter the North American mid-size market, introducing the EJ engine series with optional AWD.

Full redesign where AWD became standard for North America and the Outback debuted as a trim package.

Offered engines from a 2.0L flat-four up to the EZ30 flat-six and dropped the flat-roof wagon worldwide.

Returned turbocharged engines to North America after a 12-year absence and sharpened the styling.

Grew larger and adopted the Lineartronic CVT across much of the range.

Debuted at the 2014 Chicago Auto Show, dropped the US manual and kept standard AWD and boxer engines.

Moved to the Subaru Global Platform and replaced the 3.6L flat-six with a turbo 2.4L flat-four before the line ended in 2025.
