CAR GARAGE | Subaru Legacy (2013) | The 2013 Subaru Legacy features new, sportier front styling with new headlights, grille and front bumper. Standard with Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive, the 2013 Subaru Legacy Remains the most fuel-efficient midsize all-wheel drive sedan in America. At the same time, the Legacy Engaging rewards drivers with performance and a high level of driving comfort and offers outstanding safety performance. For added safety, the 2013 Legacy adds a new Brake Override system. The new engine Produces Greater low-end torque across a broad speed range, making the 2013 Legacy 2.5i models more responsive in everyday driving. The 2013 Legacy 2.5i offers a choice Between a standard 6-speed manual transmission and the second-generation Lineartronic CVT (continuously variable transmission); the latter is standard on the 2.5i Premium and Limited.
The 2013 Subaru Legacy 3.6R Continues with a 256-horsepower 3.6-liter 6-cylinder Boxer engine and 5-speed electronically controlled automatic transmission. Although official EPA fuel economy figures are not yet available, the 2013 Subaru Legacy That projects with the Lineartronic CVT 2.5i Will Achieve 24 mpg city/32 mpg highway/27 mpg combined, compared to 23/31/26 for the 2012 model. Models with the CVT also features a 6-speed manual mode with steering wheel paddle shifters, the which allow the driver to control the transmission via six per-set ratios.
Inside, the Subaru Legacy features standard front side pelvis / torso airbags and side curtain airbags front and rear That offer outboard seat coverage. Vehicle Dynamics Control (VDC) combines stability and traction control functions, and traction control works to augment the Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive functionality. The 4-wheel disc Anti-lock Brake System (ABS) integrates Electronic Brake-force Distribution (EBD) and Brake Assist safety system the automatically APPLIES That maximum braking pressure in an emergency stop. New for 2013, a Brake Override That system ensures engine power will be cut when both the brake and accelerator are pressed simultaneously. Subaru Produces a full line of all-wheel drive sedans, crossovers and SUVs, and for 2013 has also introduced the rear-wheel drive sports car BRZ to its portfolio.
The 2013 Subaru Legacy (and Outback) models debut Subaru's new eyesight driver-assist system, the which integrates Adaptive Cruise Control, Pre-Collision Vehicle Braking and Lane Departure Warning. The eyesight stereo system processes images to identify the vehicles traveling in front, as well as obstacles, traffic lanes and other items Intended for freeway use, eyesight's Adaptive Cruise Control system can maintain a safe distance from the vehicle in front, braking and / or accelerating the car as needed to maintain the driver-selected target speed and traveling distance. Adaptive Cruise Control is operational from 1-87 mph and can fully brake the vehicle to a stop if the system "locks on" to a vehicle ahead.
Subaru offers three different Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive systems in the 2013 Legacy line, each tailored to the type of transmission. In Subaru Legacy 2.5i models equipped with the 6-speed manual transmission, the Continuous AWD system uses a viscous-coupling locking center differential to distribute power a nominal 50/50 front to rear. Slippage at either the front or rear wheels will cause the system to send more power to the opposite wheels. Legacy 2.5i models equipped with the Lineartronic CVT use the Active Torque Split AWD. An electronically managed continuously variable transfer clutch actively controls power distribution in response to driving conditions and wheel slippage. The 2013 Legacy 3.6R exclusively features the Variable Torque Distribution (VTD) AWD system with a 5-speed electronic automatic transmission.
