It seems that the creators of the Subaru Legacy tried to provide everything in this sedan to diversify the life of the driver and passengers: dynamics, ease of control, four-wheel drive, comfort, and capacity.
Despite the fact that the Legacy belongs to a very hot segment of the car market, which in addition to it has unwavering sales leaders such as the Toyota Camry, Honda Accord, Ford Fusion, and Nissan Altima, Subaru’s share is barely visible to buyers of new cars in this class. In other words, there are 17 Camry for every new Legacy.
Naturally, Subaru is well aware of the state of affairs and knows how much they need a different percentage in the segment of midsize sedans.
