SYMMETRY GIVES YOU BALANCE
BALANCE GIVES YOU CONTROL
| SYMMETRICAL AWD Since introducing permanent Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive in 1972, Subaru has continually advanced its technology to meet the evolving needs of drivers around the world. A Subaru is engineered to deliver the best possible traction and stability through its AWD, with its engine and drivetrain in a symmetrical, straight-line layout. Power is routed to all four wheels simply and directly, for perfect balance and ultimate driver control. |

SUBARU BOXER ENGINE
The horizontally-opposed configuration of the Subaru BOXER engine places the pistons opposite each other, for a lower, flatter profile than other engine types. This gives the engine, and therefore the overall vehicle, a lower centre of gravity and better sense of balance. Furthermore, the pistons' opposing movements inherently counteract each other, naturally helping to reduce vibration. |

BETTER BALANCE
With its horizontally-opposed configuration, the Subaru BOXER engine lays flatter, and can sit lower, than other engine designs. The lower centre of gravity for the entire vehicle delivers more balanced handling and flatter cornering.

SMOOTHER OPERATION
The pistons lay flat on each side of the crankshaft in the Subaru BOXER engine, so they thrust away from each other in a horizontally-opposed configuration. This "punch-counterpunch" action naturally counteracts vibration, for inherently smoother running.

GREATER TRACTION
Whether you're negotiating a road in bad weather or reacting to avoid an accident, Symmetrical AWD is designed to deliver exceptional traction, and therefore driver confidence, by keeping all four wheels engaged at all times.

LEVELHEADED. SUREFOOTED.
AND WHOLEHEARTED.
Innovative Subaru engineering balances handling precision, occupant protection and driving passion. Subaru’s Dynamic Chassis Control Concept extends the benefits of its lower centre of gravity and AWD stability to virtually every measure of Legacy’s performance.

SUBARU DYNAMIC CHASSIS CONTROL CONCEPT
Legacy elevates the inherent advantages of its signature Subaru layout — balance, composure and response — with the Subaru Dynamic Chassis Control Concept (DC3). The body uses more high-tensile steel in critical areas to achieve high strength with light weight. A rigid new Cradle Mount front-end structure delivers more accurate, natural steering feel whilst allowing the engine and suspension to be more effectively isolated from the cabin for a smoother, quieter ride. The result is more of everything that makes driving a pleasure: confidence with comfort, sportiness with safety, and elegance with efficiency — all in perfect balance.
