Independent Review of the Subaru Legacy Range

SUBARU LEGACY SPORTS TOURER 2.5I SE 5DR LINEARTRONIC

Subaru's Legacy Tourer estate is more efficient, better equipped and comes with greater peace of mind. Jonathan Crouch checks it out.

SUBARU LEGACY SPORTS TOURER 2.5I SE 5DR LINEARTRONIC

Some motorists swear by the Subaru Legacy Tourer. Its distinctive Boxer engines, all-wheel-drive and metronomic reliability all make it stand out from the other options in the medium range and compact executive estate sectors. But Subaru needs to reach out beyond its traditional customer base of loyal buyers and for this car to do that, it'll need to offer plenty more in the showroom. Greater efficiency and class-leading peace of mind for example. Both of which this revised model promises.

SUBARU LEGACY SPORTS TOURER 2.5I SE 5DR LINEARTRONIC

For years, Subaru's Legacy has offered family estate car buyers a different approach. Four-wheel drive security for the price of 2WD mediocrity. Flat four engines unique enough for you to miss their distinctive thrum once you'd moved to something more mundane. And a refreshing approach to design that set this model apart in a sea of ordinary alternatives. But times are changing and this fifth generation model must change with it. Being different is no longer quite enough.

In MK5 guise, this car was designed to be significantly larger than before, not only to distance itself from Subaru's own Forester go-anywhere estate but also to be able to compete with tough rivals like all-wheel drive versions of Volvo's V70 or Skoda's Superb Estate 4x4. So we've this longer, wider, taller and in every way bigger Legacy. It's proved to be a useful step forward - but not quite enough to tempt many buyers into the showroom that were new to the brand. Hence the improved model we're looking at here with much tighter running costs courtesy of a next-generation Boxer diesel engine. There's also the draw of Subaru's industry-leading ETCo aftercare package. Will it all be enough to rejuvenate this car's sales fortunes? Let's find out.

SUBARU LEGACY SPORTS TOURER 2.5I SE 5DR LINEARTRONIC

Almost all customers choose this car with 2.0-litre diesel power, though a 2.5-litre petrol model with clever Lineartronic CVT automatic transmission is available if you really can't abide the black pump. The diesel is a traditional Subaru 'Boxer' unit and is now significantly more efficient. To understand this unit's popularity, you don't have to drive one very far, it's 350Nm of torque offering pulling power that dwarfs the petrol version's breathless 229Nm figure and takes this Legacy 2.0D from rest to sixty in 9.6s if you're quick with the now much improved 6-speed manual gearbox. And of course, this wouldn't be a proper Subaru without permanent 4WD, in this case a Symmetrical set-up adapted according to the engine and gearbox options you've chosen. The system distributes power in a 50:50 split between the front and rear wheels via a viscous coupling centre differential and the functioning's pretty simple. If grip is in short supply at one axle, more power is diverted to the opposite one.

As for handling, Subaru's engineers have gone for a more comfort-orientated approach this time round: in other words, they've benchmarked a Volvo V70's solid but unexciting responses rather than a BMW 3 Series Touring's more dynamic ones. The result is a less entertaining Legacy than its predecessor but also one that thanks to recent suspension tweaks, rolls less, rides better and will be preferable on longer journeys.

SUBARU LEGACY SPORTS TOURER 2.5I SE 5DR LINEARTRONIC

Sleeker door mirrors are the only real exterior giveaway if you're looking to identify the improved version of the fifth generation Legacy Tourer we're looking at here. If you happened to be familiar with any of this model's predecessors though, you'd find this much larger MK5 version very different, lower and wider than anything that went before, with muscular curves around the front end. There are the usual SUV-like prominent wheel-arches, while the strong belt line and a chrome-rimmed glass-house are intended to give a premium feel.

Owners of older Legacys might miss the frameless doors that were a feature of previous models but once seated, they'll certainly notice the much bigger cabin, its size hardly surprising given that most of the external dimensions are up by around 50mm along with an 81mm wheelbase increase. That equates, amongst other things, to 21mm more front seat headroom. At the wheel, though there's nothing really to catch the eye, the dash is a step forward in quality from anything Subaru has offered us before.

There's an electrically operated seat to help you find the ideal driving position and all the major controls fall easily to hand, though this electronic parking brake can be a little awkward to find. Rear seat passengers, like those at the front, also benefit from the extra space on offer, enjoying 99mm more rear seat legroom and the ability to recline their seats to better while away longer journeys.

SUBARU LEGACY SPORTS TOURER 2.5I SE 5DR LINEARTRONIC

Expect to pay somewhere in the £27,000 to £31,000 bracket for your Legacy Tourer, a pricing span that puts it into direct competition with estates like Volvo's V70. A car that's very well equipped - but then, so now is this one. Inside, the improved version of this Subaru includes as standard cruise control, a glass 'tilt-n-slide' sunroof, dual-zone fully automatic air-conditioning, plus a premium audio system with six speakers (including two tweeters) along with USB and iPod connectivity and steering wheel-mounted controls. Also included are automatic lights and wipers and a powered driver's seat. A Bluetooth hands-free system with voice activation is standard too, while all variants but the base S model are trimmed in black leather. Models with Lineartronic transmission feature steering wheel mounted paddle-shifters as standard.

Subaru will contend that its Legacy competes in the BMW 3 Series Touring and Audi A4 Avant-dominated compact executive estate market sector but through its previous generations, the car has tended to sit amongst models which occupy a hinterland between the prestigious brands and more commonplace ones. Still, the larger dimensions of the latest car make it usefully more roomy than many rivals in either camp. Certainly the all-wheel-drive mechanicals, performance engines and relative exclusivity of the Legacy should give it an edge over ordinary medium range family models like Ford's Mondeo Estate and Vauxhall's Insignia Tourer.

SUBARU LEGACY SPORTS TOURER 2.5I SE 5DR LINEARTRONIC

The 2.5-litre petrol model is going to sell on its power and performance rather than low running costs but Subaru's flat four Boxer diesel engine should provide a viable option for those on a tighter budget, offering 7% improvements in both fuel economy and emissions. That sees the combined cycle fuel figure up to 49.6mpg, while the CO2 return is down to 149g/km.

Subaru is committed to doing what it can to make the ownership experience as painless as possible and to that end, its innovative ETCo (Everyything Taken Care of) package is like no other after-sales service around. It's a three-year scheme which includes a total of eleven different elements, and covers minor dent and scratch repairs, alloy wheel repairs, a monthly wash and vac, an annual full valet and wheel alignment check, lost key replacement, first MoT cover and contributions to any work needed to pass the MoT. You also get an accident management service, a contribution towards any out of pocket insurance excess bills and even a facility to store winter wheels and tyres. In total it can be worth up to £7,000.

SUBARU LEGACY SPORTS TOURER 2.5I SE 5DR LINEARTRONIC

By going large, this fifth generation Legacy Tourer has elevated itself into contention with cars like 4WD versions of Volvo's V70 and Skoda's Superb, against which it looks decent value, especially with the equipment enhancements visited upon the revised version we've been looking at here. When this car was originally launched, that wasn't enough to drive showroom traffic, but running cost improvements to the Boxer diesel engine option that almost all buyers of this Subaru choose could well make the difference.

Put simply, there are fewer reasons than ever not to consider this Legacy if you're in the market for a large £25,000 to £30,000 estate and like the idea of it coming fitted with standard 4WD. It's a characterful package and now, more than ever, a very effective one.
