3.6-liter 6-cylinder
A wealth of ultra-smooth power at the ready. That’s the
hallmark of the 3.6-liter 6-cylinder—the largest SUBARU
BOXER
® engine available. It produces 256 horsepower and
247 lb-ft of torque, moving the Legacy 3.6R models with
effortless confidence over the road. This commanding engine is
matched with the ease of a 5-speed automatic transmission with
manual mode and paddle shifters, which allow you to easily
control shifting for more direct access to engine power.
Turbocharged 2.5GT
For those who desire the kind of lift in their day that only
high performance can provide, the 2.5-liter 4-cylinder in the
Legacy 2.5GT Limited is ready to oblige. Named one of the
industry’s 10 Best Engines
1 , it features a large intercooler and a
turbocharger optimized for quick spooling. When you engage,
you’ll feel the responsive throttle and feel the turbocharged
punch of 265 horsepower and 258 lb-ft of torque. And a
standard 6-speed manual transmission with performance-
oriented gearing keeps you always in control of the action.
Up to 31 MPG
The 2011 Legacy 2.5i offers more value than any
previous generation Legacy. Its 4-cylinder SUBARU
BOXER engine generates 170 horsepower and 170 lb-ft
of torque. Ample power for confident driving. What’s
more, when paired with Lineartronic
™ CVT (Continuously
Variable Transmission), you can get 31 miles to the
gallon
1 . With the 18.5-gallon tank, you’ll spend more
time enjoying your getaways and less time filling up.
What’s more, every mile will be quiet and smooth,
thanks to the advanced design of the 2.5i.
Lineartronic ™ CVT
Experience smooth performance and save money at the
same time. Lineartronic
™ CVT is an innovative technology
that can reduce the amount you spend on fuel. Available on
Legacy 2.5i models, it eliminates the need to shift, thereby
preserving momentum. And your engine always stays in its
optimal rev range for maximum efficiency. In automatic
mode, it infinitely adjusts the transmission to match your
needs. Or use the paddle shifters and 6-speed manual
mode for quick access to power and torque on the fly.
