The year 2015 may not have come around yet, but the cars from Subaru already have. The latest iteration of the Legacy-its 2015 model-is already showing as a worthy successor. Miranda Lightstone writes about her first impressions of the 2015 Subaru Legacy in her article for Auto123.com:
"Changes to the outside of the Legacy are tasteful and just enough to make it stand out ever so slightly. The difficult thing about this segment is the fact that it wants to reach such a broad audience, and that means keeping designs in that comfortable box that everyone can agree on -- nothing drastic.
Inside, the interior is typically Subaru, and yet manages to feel upscale and even a bit on the lux side. Of note; Subaru widened and lengthened their front seats to accommodate more buyers and make them more comfortable. And heated seats are now available in the second row."
There are other reasons for asking Subaru dealers near New Orleans, LA, such as Baldwin Subaru in Covington, about the 2015 Legacy. An all-wheel drive sedan, the Legacy has overseen six generations of car models since the mid-eighties. The Legacy, however, stable but perhaps less glitzy or bold than Subaru's other impressive offerings, such as the Outback, has yet to catch with the hype. Subaru may be trying to change that with Legacy's striking upgrades.
The 2015 Legacy boasts of a perked up Boxer engine under the hood. This comes in two versions: a 2.5-liter and a 3.6. Since 2013, the Boxer engine has received several enhancements to its weight and efficiency, and is quieter than ever before. The weaker version pumps out 175 horsepower while the more robust one pushes a significantly higher output of 256 horsepower. That's nothing to sneeze at.
The improved continuous variable transmission is also an impressive feature. Well-refined enough to match the Nissan, the Legacy's CVT comes fine-tuned so that owners can expect a smoother drive with the same feel as driving with traditional automatic transmission.
Try out Legacy's new baby and check out prominent New Orleans Subaru dealers or those near you. With this new model, you can expect a cost-efficient 26 miles per gallon in city driving, and 36 mpg on the highway. The six-cylinder version may burn up a lot more at 20-mpg city/29-mpg highway. That's respectable for a sedan. With active torque-vectoring, you can also expect smoother turns and better cornering.
