Last year saw a major upgrade on Subaru's Legacy sedan and Outback wagon, with both vehicles having sleeker, more modern looks that were received well by car enthusiasts and completely changed the game for mid-sized models. Despite the positive reaction, Subaru still strives to improve on their vehicles and up the ante of their mid-sized cars, and the 2016 Subaru Legacy is proof of their effort for constant improvement.
Starlink Infotainment System: Entertainment and Safety
The 2016 Legacy will still have the Starlink infotainment system, which now packs HD Radio, Sirius XM Satellite Radio, smartphone integration through Aha and Pandora, and live traffic alerts within a 6.2-inch single-touch gesture display. Premium and Limited trims, meanwhile, comes with a 7.0-inch display, which also comes with dual USB ports and hands-free text messaging capability.
The Legacy's Premium and Limited trims will also come with a new feature for the Starlink infotainment system-the "Safety and Security". This incorporates enhanced roadside assistance, maintenance and crash notifications, SOS Emergency Assistance, and remote diagnostic reports. Acquiring the Safety and Security Plus package will come with remote locking and unlocking, security-alarm notifications, stolen vehicle recovery, and the capability to manipulate the vehicle's horn and lights.
EyeSight Driver Aid and Power Steering Assist
Already having pre-collision automatic braking, adaptive cruise control, blind-spot warning, lane-departure warning, and rear cross-traffic alert, the EyeSight system will now also have a lane-keeping assist function, a function that may come in handy especially if you're going on a long drive where the risk of falling asleep at the wheel increases.
Another plus for the 2016 Legacy is its retuned power steering assist, which improves the vehicle's feel and linearity. These along with the changes made to the suspension to reduce vibrations while driving on rough roads will definitely give you a comfortable ride, no matter what terrain you're driving on.
Subaru never fails in providing drivers not only an improved driving experience, but a safe one as well. To experience these amazing new features and more, which only a 2016 Subaru Legacy can deliver, visit dealerships near Gulfport, MS like Baldwin Subaru that also offer a vast array of new and used Subaru vehicles.
