Subaru Legacy B4,
Subaru Legacy Touring Wagon
Subaru Legacy. - Third generation of the mid-size sedan or station wagon of the Japanese company Subaru.
The B4 model moved from the second generation and was released only in the body of the sedan. RSK was equipped with a popular DOHC TWIN-TURBO 2.0 l., Outstanding 280 hp with a manual gearbox and 260 hp on the machine (tiptronic). As a result, the acceleration of 0-100 km / h occupies 5.7 C on a manual box and 6.7 with on the machine. Models intended for export to Australia were configured to use less high-quality gasoline, and as a result had a smaller power, 255 hp For models with MCPP and 236 hp with automatic transmission. As a result, the acceleration of 0-100 occupied 6.3 C per MCPP and 7.1 on the machine. B4 with MCPP had a 50/50 torque distribution between the front and rear wheels, with automatic transmission - 35/65. Turbines operate in tandem and this acceleration is due to the fact that the pressure of the exhaust switched from one turbine into two, ensuring greater power.
Also, compared with the standard Legacy, in B4 were modified brake system and control system. With front racks and rear shock absorbers Bilstein, B4 got tough, but at the same time, a very comfortable suspension. The brake system package included disk brakes and anti-lock system for all four wheels. Front, coupled with two-position calipers, 16-inch ventilated discs were installed. Rear - 15-inch discs equipped with single-passing calipers. The salon was frozen with black leather inserts. The driver's seat had an electronic adjustment system. B4 was supplied with 17 inch alloy disks BBS. What helped reduce the weight of the machine to 1495 kilograms with full of tank Fuel (64 liters). Low side fairings (t. N. Skirts) and rear spoiler helped some improve aerodynamics. In general, Legacy B4 has no radical differences from its predecessor. The B4 RS model was equipped with a less powerful atmospheric 2-liter engine, but also had the majority distinctive features A more powerful RSK model.
In 2001, the B4 RS25 model was released with a 2.5 liter atmospheric engine. In 2002, the B4 RS30 model was released with the atmospheric 3-liter EZ30 engine (FLAT-6).
Modifications [edit | edit code]
GT-B [edit | edit code]
GT-B SPEC, this is an advanced version of Legacy Wagon, "B" is a reduction from Bilstein, whose racks have been equipped with this version. E-TUNE II version was presented in 2001 as a 2002 model. Cars with Bilstein shock absorbers had a small Bilstein signboard from behind, under the inscription GT. In factory execution, motors were installed with a volume of 2.0L 2-Stage Twin Turbo in the configuration EJ208 (280 L. C.) on a manual box and, respectively, EJ206 (260 L. C.) on an automatic transmission. Also the car was equipped with an anterior screw lock.
Revision D [edit | edit code]
The fourth revision of the Legacy of the third generation brought several small but important changes in the front of the car. Wings, radiator grille and headlights have undergone minor changes. For the Japan market, the headlights received xenon lamps, as a result of which the headlights themselves became a little less and the radiator lattice also changed the dimensions. New lamps also had a regulator on the instrument panel, which allowed the driver to adjust the direction of light.
Blitzen [edit | edit code]
Avignon [edit | edit code]
Named in honor of the town in the south of France, this wagon was shown in 2001 at the 35th Tokyo Auto Show. He had a dark blue body color and equipped with an atmospheric engine with a volume of 2.5 liters. Avignon received a unique body kit, wheels and parts of the interior, such as light-drier chairs and dashboard.
STI S401 [edit | edit code]
In 2002, Subaru introduced a special series of cars B4 RSK, named STI S401, in which 400 cars were released only for the Japan market. The car engine is equipped with a large intake manifold with an intermediate cooler and an air duct, as well as an active low-pressure exhaust gases catalyst, so that the engine power is adjusted to 293 liters. from. (torque 343 nm). The transmission is equipped with a 6-speed manual gearbox. Brake system with Brembo production calipers with brake hoses in steel overall. Levers rear suspension on ball connections. The standard equipment includes 18-inch forged BBS discs, Perelli P-Zero-Nero tires, the upper shock absorber strut, as well as 10 mm springs lowered. Outwardly distinguished by another front bumper, radiator grille, thresholds and overlap on the air intake on top of the hood. In the cabin chairs, skin and alkantara, a speedometer with a markup up to 240 km / h, aluminum pedals, as well as a special set of tool, manufactured by SNAP-ON. There are three body colors: exclusive blue and gray opal, as well as an existing Black Topaz model in the basic model.
Sti S402 [edit | edit code]
In 2003, the Subaru model sold the LEGACY limited series developed by its Subaru Tecnica International. And again only 400 copies of the sedan were released. .
On the four-wheel drive Today is a robust demand. Without crossovers here, of course, it did not cost. But they started to promote the idea of \u200b\u200ball leading wheels at all. Here is one of the evidence: the middle class sedan, eliminating buyers from the type of actuator choices - Subaru Legacy ve.
Outside
At the end of the nineties, the Japanese auto industry has not yet realized the need to lure the buyer with a bright exterior. Renaissance happened later, approximately with the advent of the seventh Honda Accord and the first Mazda 6. Here is the Legacy number three - a typical child of one of the most conservative in terms of design companies. Unfortunately, in Subaru did not risk developing the idea of \u200b\u200ba wedge-shaped coupe svx. Jorgetto Judjaro works. But it cost without the bulk of the second generation Impreza. The brightest design feature is to recognize the tailgate connecting the tart lights with the lagacy inscription. As a result, we have a rather conservative externally sedan, clearly aspire to everyone and immediately, especially in the American market.
Inside
The interior hidden behind the cramless doors, as a logical continuation of appearance, is uncomplicated by design. Two-color finish - a classic reception that makes the salon is visually more expensive, works and this time. Drawing of door cards, covered with light skin into the tone of the seats - with a claim on style. The more interesting to see not too inconclusive imitation of the tree on the central console. Especially in contrast with the real tree on the Steering wheel Momo, which moved here from the three-liter version.
The front chairs will not name sports: bridge support rollers are too wide. But to the profile and the length of the pillow - no complaints. Only electrically regulators, alas, no. Rear enough space for two people of medium height, provided that the front passengers are similar to them.
Equipment, including leather finishing, automatic, heated seats, climate and cruise control - very convincingly by the measurements of the indifferent segment of the beginning of zero. All controls in their places, but without ergonomic miscalculation did not cost. For example, the backlight and the motor-brever has only a driver's windows, the pockets in the doorway, and the central armrest is also not a record holder. In Subaru, say, not this important?
In move
Unlike Impreza, Legacy is not strict with a strict dress code that binds to have a turbo engine and mechanics. If you look at Subaru as a typical middle class sedan, then the atmospheric opposite "four" volume of 2.5 liters is even more in the theme. Breaks power - only 156 hp, and besides, in combination with a four-speed machine. Does this not kill the sportiness, according to the legend living in every subaru?
The slightest touch to the LEGACY gas pedal is regarded as the "FAS!" Command. Wear from the place of cutting and looks promising, but the miracle does not happen. The dynamics cannot be called a completely vegetable, the sedan confidently holds in the stream, but the Sport Legacy 2.5 is undoubtedly far away. And the main share of guilt here is still definitely lying on the machine. The box, slowly groaning its four transmissions, is clearly sharpened to comfort and not embarrassed by stealing the lion's share of torque. Sports regime saves only in part.
It is a pity, because 223 nm is worth more reasonable use. Especially taking into account how obediently the sedan will obey the teams of the four-span steering wheel. Turns Legacy prescribes easily and naturally, as if sticking to the road: a low center of gravity (partly thanks to the opposite motor) makes its business. With increasing speed, the situation does not change. Rolls and rolls are still minimal - legacy clearly demonstrates that the limit features have not yet been achieved.
Suspension (McPherson Racks Front and Multi-Tuples Rear) Attempts to find a balance between comfort as an integral part of a solid sedan and sports that the ideology of the brand dictates. It turns out or not - depends on the situation. Over the city, unnecessary reading of numerous folds of asphalt periodically generates small lying. But in the city, the energy intensity of the suspension allows you to storm, without reducing speed, even the interweaving of the tram paths on the intersections.
Four-wheel drive have all the legacy of the third generation, but, as they say, there is a nuance. The fate of this sedan determined the presence of a machine and not the most powerful motor. For the redistribution of the torque here, it is not answered by an inter-axis differential, but a hydromechanical coupling. In the case of slippage of the front wheels, it is capable of throwing up to the back to 50% of the thrust. "Honest" symmetric four-wheel drive with an inter-axis differential was a lot powerful versions. But confidence on a slippery road is able to give even such Subaru. Let not the brightest, but still the star from the constellation Pleiad.
Purchase history
Roman with Subaru Boris began in 2010. The first was Impreza of the first generation, it would be better to conquer it with a combination of reliability and gambling manageability, affordable all year round. Appeared after her Ford Focus. Boris still remembers with shudder. Naturally, when in 2014 he was talking about buying a new everyday car, the question of choosing the brand was not stood - only Subaru. Since it was necessary to slightly more comfort compared to Impreza, but not to the detriment of manageability, the search began. Legacy began.
The appropriate instance was found only after a month and a half. The 2001 sedan of release in the European specification, driven from Germany in 2007, was sold with a mileage of 190,000 km. Boris was brought primarily a living body - almost entirely in their native paint - and good equipment. The price was slightly higher than the average at that time on the market - 310,000 rubles.
Repairs
Immediately after the purchase, all filters were replaced, new oils in the engine and a box were filled, air conditioning is filled. When replacing the brakes, the choice fell on larger discs with a diameter of 294 mm (instead of 276 mm) with two-position calipers taken from the next generation Legacy. Boris candles replaced independently, just removing the battery and moved to the air filter box. Master the engine for this was not required.
After a small accident, the back of the car had to be repaired. A left back wing went under the replacement, the trunk lid along with the decorative lining and the rear optics. Spare parts were bought in Vladivostok, which gave a tangible savings compared to prices in St. Petersburg. With the recent, the next replacement of oil in the ACP was made. At the same time, ball supports and steering tips were replaced and the liquid was updated in Gura.
Exploitation
The present mileage Legacy has already exceeded 300,000 km. The sedan copes perfectly with the role of a daily car and easily transfers long-range voices - for example, in Abkhazia. Alternatives to him Boris still sees so far, even among more modern models of Subaru. It prefers to serve the car yourself.
Costs
- Then with the replacement of oil in the engine (Motul 5W-40) and filters - every 10,000 km
- Fuel consumption in the city cycle - 12-13 l / 100 km
- Fuel consumption in the route - 8-9 l / 100 km
- Fuel consumption in a mixed cycle - 10-11 l / 100 km
- Fuel - AI-95
- Plans
Plans for everyday car are purely domestic. It is a replacement of windshield, deleting the catalyst and repair graduation system. And the most important thing is to deal with the Mouse. With a recent trip to Voronezh (almost 1,300 km), LEGACY ate almost liter of oil.
History of the model
The premiere of the third generation Subaru Legacy was announced in 1998. The model was collected in Japan and in the USA. For the first time in its history, the sedan was equipped with a non-alternative full-wheel drive regardless of the sales market.
Subaru Legacy '1998-2003
Gamma Motors consisted of traditional opposite "fours" with a volume of 2.0 and 2.5 liters. The capacity of atmospheric versions began with 125 hp, but the turbocharged Legacy had 265 and even 280 hp An options with a three-liter six-cylinder "opposite" with a capacity of 223 hp were struck by a limited edition. Civil sedans were completed with a five-speed mechanics or a four-band automaton, and for the STI version, the six-speed MCP was detached.
Subaru Legacy '1998-2004
The production of the third generation LEGACY ended in 2004.
Subaru began selling the third generation Legacy in Japan and in the world in June 1998, while in North America, the sales of the model began only in 2000. The models sold in the United States were equipped with a standard symmetrical full-wheel drive. LEGACY - was the only car in its class, which had AWD in the standard of equipment in most of the world markets. The models sold on the world and Japanese markets were equipped with engines ranging from the atmospheric two-liter horizontal opposite engine to the EZ30 on the 3.0R model. In the four cylinder engine continues to be used toothed belt The camshaft drive to replace every 100,000 mileage kilometers, while the six-cylinder 3-liter engine was equipped with a chain of the gas distribution mechanism that did not require replacement during normal use. In 2001, a new 3-liter 6-cylinder EZ30 engine, installed on Outback, was developed.
The production of universal plane roofs was stopped in the world, and the embossed roof was used instead, which was installed on the Legacy Wagon and Legacy Outback universities.
4-speed automatic transmission had a plug-in first transmission function. It helped driving a car in difficult road conditions, such as snow or ice. The system has activated by transferring the gear lever from the "d" position to the position "2nd". In this case, the car will be touched from the second transfer, and not from the first. The transmission will also change the distribution of the torque between the front and rear wheels in the 50/50 ratio.
Automatic transmission also had the ability to change the transmission moments, and do not switch the transmission longer when the engine runs on large turns. This was achieved by sharply pressing the accelerator pedal, as a result of which the transmission spun the engine to 5000 revolutions before switching to the next transmission. Unlike previous generations, no indication appears on the instrument panel. The transmission also had protection against speeding, by switching to the next available transmission, if the engine turnover reaches 6,500 revolutions, even if the selector is in the lower transmission position.
Specialized for the Japanese market Cars with a twin turbo engine had a semi-automatic transmission, which allowed the driver to translate the gear lever to the left, and, then, switch transmissions as on a manual transmission.
The B4 model moved from the second generation and was released only in the body of the sedan. RSK was equipped with a popular DOHC TWIN-TURBO 2.0 l., Outstanding 280 hp with a manual gearbox and 260 hp on the machine (tiptronic). As a result, the acceleration of 0-100 km / h occupies 5.7 C on a manual box and 6.7 with on the machine. Models intended for export to Australia were configured to use less high-quality gasoline, and as a result had a smaller power, 255 hp For models with MCPP and 236 hp with automatic transmission. As a result, the acceleration of 0-100 occupied 6.3 C per MCPP and 7.1 on the machine. B4 with MCPP had a 50/50 torque distribution between the front and rear wheels, with automatic transmission - 35/65, and as a technically luxurious sedan, the new Legacy B4 was designed for both good and sports drive. But first you must understand what an impressive makes the car the Twin-Turbo system (Twin-Turbo). On low revs, the machine uses only one of two available turbines. You will receive a real pleasure when you work both turbines. So, when the turns below 4000, B4 uses only the main turbine. But it is worth pressing the accelerator pedal, bringing the turnover to 4500, and the car will come to life. And really will come to life. Relief from the turboyama made B4 exciting and intriguing at the same time. She is really fast. 0-100 km / h in just 6.5 seconds. But feelings are very different from other cars. Let's release the clutch, you put on the gas, and the car rifles forward. However, after a second, an excellent acceleration, the car seemed to lick his acne. Then, when you think that you are no longer pressing more in your leather armchair, there is even greater acceleration, while the tachometer arrow is moving rapidly from 4500 to 7000 marks. Now turbines work in tandem and this acceleration is due to the fact that the pressure of the exhaust switched from one turbine into two, ensuring greater power. B4 has a relatively small 2-liter block of cylinders. However, this does not prevent it from developing the power comparable to 3-4 liter sports cars. With horizontal-opposite, called yet 'Boxer', a 2-liter engine, equipped with two turbines, two camshafts, a sodium-cooled exhaust valve system (providing the best heat removal), B4 issued a colossal 260 hp. 6,400 revolutions (for cars in Australia). That at 10 hp More than WRX. The torque of 320 nm at 4,800 turns are more than enough for rapid movement. In the market of Japan B4 had as many as 280 hp. It was possible because in Japan there is gasoline with an octane number 100. Since we have, and in most markets in the world there are only 98th gasoline, engines for these markets were defined in accordance with the quality of gasoline. Also, compared with the standard Legacy, the brake system and control system were finalized in B4. With front racks and rear shock absorbers Bilstein, B4 was tough, but, at the same time, a very comfortable suspension. The brake system pack included disk brakes and anti-lock system for all four wheels. Front, coupled with two-position calipers, 16-inch ventilated discs were installed. Rear - 15-inch discs equipped with single-passing calipers. As a result, the brake system was very predictable and quite powerful. Inside the new subaru you got a great leather steering Momo and Mcintosh audio system with 7 speakers and 60-watts subwoofer. The salon was cooled with black leather with inserts from blue skin. The driver's seat had an electronic adjustment system. Externally, Legacy B4 does not look too sporty, however, the bucket on the hood with interest gives it a turbocharged nature. B4 was supplied with 17 inches BBS alloy discs. What helped reduce the weight of the machine to 1495 kilograms with a full fuel tank (64 liters). Low side fairings (so-called skirts) and the rear spoiler helped some improve the aerodynamics. In general, Legacy B4 does not have radical differences from its predecessor, however, these small changes definitely improved the picture as a whole. The B4 RS model was equipped with a less powerful atmospheric 2-liter engine, but also had most of the distinctive features of a more powerful RSK model.
In 2001, a B4 RS25 model was released with a 2.5 liter atmospheric engine. In 2002, the B4 RS30 model was released with the atmospheric 3-liter EZ30 engine (FLAT-6).
GT-B SPEC, this is an advanced version of Legacy Wagon, "B" is a reduction from Bilstein, whose racks have been equipped with this version. E-TUNE II version was presented in 2001 as a 2002 model. Cars with Bilstein shock absorbers had a small Bilstein signboard from behind, under the inscription GT. The factory execution was installed motors with a volume of 2.0L 2-stage Twin Turbo in the configuration EJ205 (280 hp) on a manual box and, respectively, EJ206 (260 hp) on an automatic transmission.
Revision D.
The fourth revision of the Legacy of the third generation brought several small but important changes in the front of the car. Wings, radiator grille and headlights have undergone minor changes. For the Japan market, the headlights received xenon lamps, as a result of which the headlights themselves became a little less and the radiator lattice also changed the dimensions. New lamps also had a regulator on the instrument panel, which allowed the driver to adjust the direction of light.
Blitzen
The Blitzen model was the result of cooperation with Porsche, as a result of which the car received many unique parts and a color scheme. Wheels, body kit, interior were developed by Porsche engineers. The car was also equipped with an automatic Tiptronic box from Porsche, first used in Subaru models.
The version of the station wagon became available in 2001 with the EZ30 engine.
In 2002, the model was updated, receiving a finalized body design.
Avignon.
Named in honor of the town in the south of France, this universal was shown in 2001 on the 35th Tokyo Auto Show. He had a dark blue body color and equipped with an atmospheric engine with a volume of 2.5 liters. Avignon received a unique body kit, wheels and parts of the interior, such as light-drier chairs and dashboard.
Sti S401.
in 2000, Subaru introduced a special series of cars B4 RSK, named STI S401, in which 400 cars were released only for the Japan market. The car engine is equipped with a large intake manifold with an intermediate cooler and an air duct, as well as an active low-pressure exhaust gases catalyst, so that the engine power is adjusted to 293 liters. from. (torque 343 nm). The transmission is equipped with a 6-speed manual gearbox. Brake system with Brembo production calipers with brake hoses in steel overall. The standard equipment includes 18-inch BBS forged discs, Pipelli Tires "P-ZERO-NERO", as well as 18 mm lowered springs. Externally distinguished by another front bumper and grille, in the cabin seats, skin and alkantara, a speedometer with a markup up to 240 km / h, aluminum pedals, as well as a special set of tools, manufactured by Snap-on. There are three body colors: exclusive blue and gray opal, as well as an existing Black Topaz model in the basic model.
STI S402.
In the 2003 model year, Subaru sold a limited LEGACY series developed by its Subaru Tecnica International unit. And again only 400 copies of the sedan were released. .

cCGRANT / S401.HTM English version of the S401 review
Cars model Row SUBARU LEGACY Since its first appearance in 1989 survived the six more changes. To date, the last sixth generation, manufactured since 2014, is widely popular among various motorists.
The perfection of this model range is supported by a huge amount positive feedback and photos, both from experts on the assessment of cars and from the owners. Especially positive in reviews there is a high level of variability when buying a car Subaru Legacy, an affordable cost, high specifications and modern technological equipment.
In general, it is not surprising that Subaru Legacy, be it a new or old model, is in the first lines of the ranking of cars from Subaru. Machines from this manufacturer have always enjoyed and will be widespread.
Cars of the first generation Legacy have long been removed from production and now such a vehicle is extremely difficult to find. At the same time, Subaru Legacy at one time brought significant changes, as it was extremely different from all previously produced cars, which can be seen in the photo.
The car quickly gained popularity on the same level with other cars from manufacturers with world fame. However, in comparison with the analogues, the first generation, unlike the Subaru Legacy 2019, was not equipped with top power units, but in production were used exclusively qualitative spare parts.
Second generation
Subaru Legacy II generation is probably the most famous, among the whole model range. This is due to the fact that Subaru Legacy II received many global changes that are noticeable in the photos that have touched, primarily technological equipment.
This model range is represented by three variations:
The most popular of them is sUBARU car Legacy BG5, which was actively subjected to tuning.
Subaru Legacy II generation lasted on the market for 4 years with a high level of sales. It seriously affected the manufacturer, so that subsequent modernization allowed significantly to improve the model range.
Today, if you visually compare Subaru Legacy 2 (2 generations) and Subaru Legacy 2019 in the photo, it's hard to find something in common. In particular, due to the fact that over time the car accepted the appearance of Outback.
Often, the tuning of the car Subaru Legacy touched upon the form of the rear bumper. Because of this, it is often possible to meet Legacy with non-standard elements of the appearance.
Third generation
Subsequent for Subaru Legacy II, the third generation of Subaru began to be sold since 1998. Like predecessors, the car quickly found his amateur. In particular, the car was in demand in the native country - Japan.
Model is represented by the following variations:
The SUBARU LEGACY BH5 model was particularly popular, what the owners are talking about.
The main feature of Subaru Legacy BH5 was the fact that the car was directly related to the car's sports class, which is visible in the photo. Despite this, Subaru Legacy Outback continued its existence.
Fourth generation
In 2013, another updated version of Subaru appeared on the world automotive market, which became even less reminded by Subaru Legacy II. Wherein, this car, like his early versions, received global recognition and a high level of sales.
The updated model is represented by the following options:
Even today, many car enthusiasts, preferring cars Subaru, the rest of the car, remember and appreciate Subaru Legacy BL5 and Subaru Legacy BP5, which are presented in the photo.
This vehicle has many features, the main one was equipped with sports engine Imprem VRH.
From the market, the car left gradually, and the new generation of Legacy came to replace it, in particular the new Subaru Legacy Outback.
Fifth generation
New Subaru Legacy as accepted with fourth generation, was released in two variations:
This car Subaru Legacy was equipped with four various engineswhich, however, in any form were sports. Plus, some changes touched the rear bumper, which are noticeable in the photo - to clarify the best way to watch the video test drive.
The main feature of this car is that the manufacturer pays much attention to the characteristics of the car, which was the exact opposite of Subaru Legacy BH5 and Subaru Legacy BG5.
To date, this machine is not obsolete, and on the Internet still you can find the opinion of the experts on Subaru Legacy, photos and reviews of the owners.
Unlike early versions, the new auto Subaru model of Legacy Tuning practically does not affect. It also applies to Subaru Legacy Outback.
Sixth generation
This generation of cars Subaru Legacy 2019 is the last to date. This model, like all the predecessors, is represented by two variations, sedan and universal, respectively:
Especially strong changes in the case of this Subaru Legacy touched the rear bumper. In addition, the car received many modern technological additions, in particular the on-board computer.
You can purchase a sedan or wagon today in many car salons worldwide in all existing equipment. For this, for example, the Kemerovo region will suit.
Many Owners Subaru Legacy visit Drom, leave their feedback and shared photos. If you are interested in Subaru Legacy 2019, it is recommended to refer to this Internet resource. In addition, there you can find the latest information about Subaru Legacy B5.
Specifications
Everyone generation Subaru. Legacy model has unique specifications. If the first generation could not boast the presence of a top-end engine under the hood, then Subaru Legacy 2019 has a sports power unit.
The early models of Subaru Legacy experienced the engine tuning or, for example, the rear bumper several times. As a result, on the Internet, in particular, on a dome, you can stumble upon modified versions of cars from this model line.
Last generation
The last sixth generation of Subaru Subaru car is equipped with one of two engines. Each engine is at the expense of gasoline and has unique power indicators:
The first motor is the following:
- working volume - 2.5 liters;
- power - 175 horsepower.
The second engine, as well as the first, is the echo of the early version of Legacy. He has the following:
- working volume - 3.6 liters;
- type - 4-cylinder opposite;
- power - 256 horsepower.
Both power units, regardless of the type of car, whether Subaru Legacy wagon or sedan, provide excellent performance characteristics. In particular, this refers to the fact that the new Subaru Legacy fuel consumption has a minimum.
In detail to study the features of each engine you can watching the video test drive or photo on the Internet.
Notes
For cars from the LEGACY model range, the price has always been on accessible, for the average consumer, level.
In terms of the cost of Subaru Legacy Outback and the sedan are not very different from each other.
In the manufacture of Legacy cars, high-quality spare parts are used. Due to this, it is possible without much concerns and extra costs, for example, to remove the rear bumper. If you are interested in this removal, you especially recommended to watch the car test drive.
Often, the controls of the car are on the left side. In the case of the Subaru Legacy Outback and the sedan machine can be a right-handed. Clarification about this is on the Internet on trusted resources.
On the Internet you can find a lot of official photos Subaru Legacy.

Turns Legacy prescribes easily and naturally, as if sticking to the road: a low center of gravity (partly thanks to the opposite motor) makes its business. With increasing speed, the situation does not change. Rolls and rolls are still minimal - legacy clearly demonstrates that the limit features have not yet been achieved.
Consumption per 100 km
Suspension (McPherson Racks Front and Multi-Tuples Rear) Attempts to find a balance between comfort as an integral part of a solid sedan and sports that the ideology of the brand dictates. It turns out or not - depends on the situation. Over the city, unnecessary reading of numerous folds of asphalt periodically generates small lying. But in the city, the energy intensity of the suspension allows you to storm, without reducing speed, even the interweaving of the tram paths on the intersections.
Four-wheel drive have all the legacy of the third generation, but, as they say, there is a nuance. The fate of this sedan determined the presence of a machine and not the most powerful motor. For the redistribution of the torque here, it is not answered by an inter-axis differential, but a hydromechanical coupling. In the case of slippage of the front wheels, it is capable of throwing up to the back to 50% of the thrust. "Honest" symmetric four-wheel drive with an inter-axis differential was a lot of powerful versions. But confidence on a slippery road is able to give even such Subaru. Let not the brightest, but still the star from the constellation Pleiad.
Purchase history
Roman with Subaru Boris began in 2010. The first was Impreza of the first generation, it would be better to conquer it with a combination of reliability and gambling manageability, affordable all year round. After her Ford Focus, Boris still recalls with shudder. Naturally, when in 2014 he was talking about buying a new everyday car, the question of choosing the brand was not stood - only Subaru. Since it was necessary to slightly more comfort compared to Impreza, but not to the detriment of manageability, the search began. Legacy began.

|
The appropriate instance was found only after a month and a half. The 2001 sedan of release in the European specification, driven from Germany in 2007, was sold with a mileage of 190,000 km. Boris was brought primarily a living body - almost entirely in their native paint - and good equipment. The price was slightly higher than the average at that time on the market - 310,000 rubles.
Repairs
Immediately after the purchase, all filters were replaced, new oils in the engine and a box were filled, air conditioning is filled. When replacing the brakes, the choice fell on larger discs with a diameter of 294 mm (instead of 276 mm) with two-position calipers taken from the next generation Legacy. Boris candles replaced independently, just removing the battery and moved to the air filter box. Master the engine for this was not required.
After a small accident, the back of the car had to be repaired. A left back wing went under the replacement, the trunk lid along with the decorative lining and the rear optics. Spare parts were bought in Vladivostok, which gave a tangible savings compared to prices in St. Petersburg. With the recent, the next replacement of oil in the ACP was made. At the same time, ball supports and steering tips were replaced and the liquid was updated in Gura.
Exploitation
The present mileage Legacy has already exceeded 300,000 km. The sedan copes perfectly with the role of a daily car and easily transfers long-range voices - for example, in Abkhazia. Alternatives to him Boris still sees so far, even among more modern models of Subaru. It prefers to serve the car yourself.
Costs
- Then with the replacement of oil in the engine (Motul 5W-40) and filters - every 10,000 km
- Fuel consumption in the city cycle - 12-13 l / 100 km
- Fuel consumption in the route - 8-9 l / 100 km
- Fuel consumption in a mixed cycle - 10-11 l / 100 km
- Fuel - AI-95
- Plans
Plans for everyday car are purely domestic. This is the replacement of windshield, deleting the catalyst and repair of the exhaust system. And the most important thing is to deal with the Mouse. With a recent trip to Voronezh (almost 1,300 km), LEGACY ate almost liter of oil.
History of the model
The premiere of the third generation Subaru Legacy was announced in 1998. The model was collected in Japan and in the USA. For the first time in its history, the sedan was equipped with a non-alternative full-wheel drive regardless of the sales market.
Subaru Legacy "1998-2003 Gamma Motors consisted of traditional opposite "fours" with a volume of 2.0 and 2.5 liters. The capacity of atmospheric versions began with 125 hp, but the turbocharged Legacy had 265 and even 280 hp An options with a three-liter six-cylinder "opposite" with a capacity of 223 hp were struck by a limited edition. Civil sedans were completed with a five-speed mechanics or a four-band automaton, and for the STI version, the six-speed MCP was detached.
Subaru Legacy "1998-2004 The production of the third generation LEGACY ended in 2004.
If you take the old Subaru, then ...
Subaru. released the third generation of the Japanese and global market Inheritance In June 1998, while the model in North America was introduced in May 1999 for 2000 model year. In all markets, with the exception of the United States, the production continued until 2002, with a limited production of Blitzen model sold in the middle of the cycle under the 2003 model in Japan. The production in the United States lasted until 2004.
On his introduction in 1999, he won automotive researchers and journalists of the Conference of the Year Awards in Japan.
All models were equipped with a standard, symmetrical full-wheel drive. The world market and Japanese models ranged from atmospheric 2.0 - liter flat-4 to EZ30 on the 3.0R model. Even if the dimensions have become medium in size, it is still assessed by environmental protection as a compact car.
no flat roofs of wagons are no longer produced worldwide, and instead of the raised roof, it is used as for the inheritance of the car and Legacy Outback (Lancaster in Japan).
In 2001, the EZ30 recently developed 3.0 liters was offered in Outbacks.
The legacy is the only car in its class, which provides four-wheel drive as standard equipment.

Blitzen (2000-2003)
1999-2001 Subaru Legacy B4 Sedan
The Blitzen model ("Blitz" German for lightning) was the result of cooperation with the Porsche Design designer house, and showed many unique parts and color schemes, and there was an upper level of a luxurious Sport Package from Subaru using elements from their STI performance separation. Wheels, body kit and interior were developed by this German group. It also showed the implementation of the new consecutive automatic gearbox AISIN SEIKI, the first use of the sequential shift on the subaru model. This model was updated in 2002 with an updated design. The model was re-updated in 2003 with the interior developed by Andreas Restinas.
B4.
The B4 model was introduced for the third generation, and was a sedan-sole model. RSK signs familiar DOHC, Twin-turbo 2.0 - liter engine with a capacity of 280 hp (210 kW) (265 hp (198 kW) for automatic with manual mode). This leads to 0-60 miles per hour 5.2 seconds for manual and 5.8 s for automatic. This engine was popular among Japanese buyers by reducing tax liability on the basis of the Japanese legislation of the vehicle size; The machine provides the benefits of performance compared to larger cars sold in Japan with more powerful engines, but with a smaller tax invoice. B4 nickname is also used for undead models, such as 2.0L TS-R.
Secondary turbo remains unchanged during this stage, as a separate control of the exhaust valve (located on the right side of the engine) remains closed. This valve prevents exhaust gases entering the secondary turbine.
During the 4000-4500 revolutions per minute in transition, however, the exhaust control valve is partially open, resulting in a secondary turbo to the nearest operating speed. ECU - work on another solenoid service and vacuum diaphragm - determines the value that opens the control valve. The ECU calculates this valve opening value based on the pressure drop sensor input, which receives the channels from the intake manifold and at the output from the secondary turbo.
Any pressure of the advanced production of the secondary turbocharger during the transition stage is redirected towards the atmosphere at the compressor entrance (between turbines and air filter).
With the main turbo, it continues to feed pressure in the collector and the secondary turbocharger, essentially bleeding from the pulse it makes during the transition, the EB will determine when to close the pressure reset valve and fully open the regulating valve. As soon as this is done, the computer will look at the entrance from the pressure drop sensor and another control valve is open - inlet valve (which is set between the output of the compressor of the secondary turbo and the intermediate cooler).
From the feed control, the valve is open, the pressure pressure from the secondary turbo is allowed to pass through the intermediate cooler (in addition to the supervision supplied by the primary turbo). The pressure in the collector during the second phase of the turbocharger remains regulated by the bypass valve of the primary turbocharger - there is only one turbine bypass valve throughout the system.
Subaru claims: "In the" setting "between one and two turbo-working range, which was rather noticeable for the driver on the previous model B4, is now largely" turned off "a thorough choice of the size of the turbocharger and control mechanisms. As can be seen from this curve of the torque, however, under certain conditions of motion, it is still possible to detect a slight decrease in the rate of acceleration in the preparatory or intermediate phase, which occurs between 4000-4500 revolutions per minute. "
turbocompressors
Despite the fact that the twins are called, B2 turbochargers are not identical. Primary turbocharger Block IHI VF33, which uses 46.5 / 35.4 mm 9-blades of the turbine wheel and compressor by 47.0 mm / 35.4 mm 6 + 6 blades. At idle, turbo rotates at a speed of about 20,000 revolutions per minute, and it can continue until the maximum speed of 190,000 revolutions per minute. It has 17 mm hole of the diameter of overlap bypassing an excess of exhaust gas. The secondary turbocharger is IHI VF32. In the exhaust side, it uses a 46.5 / 35.4 mm 9-blade turbine wheel, together with a 52.5 / 36.6 mm compressor wheel 10 blades. It is designed for 180,000 revolutions per minute. As primary and secondary turbochargers, use the floating metal center of the bearing - not ball bearings.
intermediate cooling
As WRX, B4 uses the hood of the scoop to feed the air-air upper fastening The cooler of the upgrade air. The Sanden manufacturer, the intercooler has an effective depth of 73 mm, width 140 mm and a length of 370 mm. C 26 tubes to take induction air from one final tank to another, the device has a heat transfer power of 13.37 kW and reduces 120-130 degrees Celsius of upgrade air to 70-80 degrees Celsius (claimed).
Transmission and Cardan
The Australian Liberty B4S delivered with a longitudinally installed 5-speed manual transmission only. This is essentially the same block that was introduced in the MY99 model (which most changes have seen, as Liberty has been introduced in 1990).
Among its list of improvements, the case of rigidity and a doubled number of fastening bolts to the engine (eight instead of four) are increasing. Syncromes grab ring, gear angles of docking of the teeth and the double cone of the sync signal at the 2nd and 3rd transmission were also remavated.
In B4 "S Type" a close attitude has a higher built-in reducer of relations during the first three teeth than imperza WRX, but shorter 4.11: 1 The ratio of the main transmission counters are some of this effect. The gears are now a cold forging and now the blow hammer for additional strength and flexible design of the flywheel is turned on to reduce the vibration of the engine reaching the transmission. Draw a type of 230mm one-piece grip of an increased tap of torque due to the 830 kg clamping plate pressure plate.
AWD Layout B4 is a traditional subaru. A viscous center of the self-locking clutch of the forecasting front to the rear torque 50:50. The distribution of torque on the road, however, depends on the load distribution and tire clutch with the road. As a result, the static coefficient is direct driving 60:40 in front-rear. In dynamic conditions of movement, however, the distribution of the torque varies accordingly. The Viscounts perceives the difference in the speed of rotation between the front and rear axles and transmits the torque to the end with a larger handle (which has a smaller axis of revolutions per minute).
The rear viscous LSD is also used to improve stability at high speeds and adhesion with an expensive at low speed on the rotation.
Suspension
B4 suspended on the same platform as other Liberty models - MacPherson under the front and multi-dimensional rear rack with. The front suspension includes cast aluminum L-shaped transverse links and the transverse element has a recently developed "" productivity rod. Rod performance sidebar, which improves the rigidity of the side axis by 500 percent and longitudinal rigidity by 50 percent. This provides more permanent pendant geometry with a sharp turn. The rear suspension also receives additional support for the subframe to improve the rear suspension of transverse and longitudinal stiffness (200 percent and 20 percent, respectively).
Front Suspension Deckent - Bump / Rebound (N @ 0.3 m / s) 932/2159 Pendants - Bump / Rebound (mm) 105/95 Spring Rate (N / mm) 25.1 SWAYBAR diameter 20 Rear decrement suspension - Bump / rebound (N @ 0.3 m / s) 600/2350 suspension - Bump / rebound (mm) 125/85 Spring Rate (N / mm) 47.5 SWAYBAR diameter 17 Front rack is an easy bilstein . The struts are inverted to deliver higher rigidity during bending (due to the greater diameter of the shock absorb tubes) and less damping damping as a result of increased piston size. Springs are set in this way, their offset of the axial line coincides with the axis of rotation. This reduces the road shock and - by minimizing the tuberculosis and friction - provides smaller vibration.
Initial spring, damper and SWaybar Characteristics of B4 were developed in Japan, and then configured on the chain nurburgring. He said that the goal was at least equal to the performance of the BMW M3. Here are some of the comparison figures:
PERFORMANCE LIBERTY B4 BMW M3 Roll Angle @ 90m Circle with a diameter of 4.5 degrees 4,45 degrees Roll Angle @ 190m Circle with a diameter of 4.25 degrees 4.0 degrees Slalom - 8 Pylons separated @ 13m 8.0 sec 7.9 seconds Slalom - 6 Pilons are spaced @ 30m 6.4 seconds 6.2 seconds Slalom - 10 pylons separated @ 18m 10.2 sec 10.1 seconds
braking
1495 kg The weight of B4 slows down 294 mm of ventilated front disc brakes and a double pot with floating calipers and 290mm rear-driven ventilated discs and one pots of floating calipers. The increased vacuum of the tandem help diameter amplifier gives a reduced force on the pedal, although relatively solid braking feel (see the graph). The diagonal system is associated to maintain security in case one line should fail, and the front and rear pressure control valve are used to balance the braking force in accordance with the distribution of the weight. Maximum braking inhibition from 100 km / h is 0.99 g from 39.4 meters of the braking path.
Standard anti-lock brake system B4 is Bosch 5.3i System "S (which is completed in accordance with the Nippon ABS license). This is a 4-channel, 3-phase system with front wheels controlled separately, while the rear is controlled together (through the "Select" low method). Select a low method uses rear wheel with a smaller clutch coefficient to calculate the brake line pressure apply to both rear wheels.
The advantage of the new system is an increase in the level of control of the wheel rotation speed provided by the 3-phase control cycle, which currently operates at 18 MHz (compared to 12 MHz) and has an enlarged ROM capacity (32KB up from 12kb). Under driving conditions, the result is about 50 percent less than the moment relative to the vertical axis (turning / turning ratio), when one side of the vehicle braking on ice, and the other on the asphalt. One third of the steering correction is required under these conditions.
Above "choose" a low method of the rear brake force, together with the electronic brake ray, on the front wheel with a high clutch coefficient and the negative radius of the steering shaft, ensures the maximum stability of the chassis when braking.
electronics
Combined key, remote central locking Transmitter and immobilizer transponder protects B4 Liberty from theft. After the key is inserted into the ignition lock cylinder and turns on, the antenna amplifier (located around the ignition trunk) reads the respondent code and transmits it into the engine control system. Without the correct code sequence, the engine cannot start.
In addition to the key immobilizer, Subaru Australia also establishes a two-stage security system (as it has been installed on the previous IMPREZA BPP). The remote control is the first security step, while the console is set to the numeric keypad forms the second stage. In order to neutralize 6 immobilization items, the correct code of four digits must be entered from the keyboard. The system also has anti-d-hijacking, mode, anxiety invasion, false anxiety Prevention, internal siren SCREAMER, an infrasound sensor, a chamelner mode and anti-virus cross-pollination software.
The combination of B4 devices is rear backlight and provides excellent visibility under any conditions. Clock rings, pointers and calibration data are sequentially illuminated as soon as the ignition is turned on.
The American Automotive Audio System Mcintosh spent 12 months in Japan Sound System Settings in accordance with B4 Acoustics. A double DIN head block includes a single CD player, a tuner and a cassette deck, while some units also had a mini-player disk. The system has a high-performance digital-based (D / A) converter 20-bit BURR-BROWN chip, Dolby b Noise cancellation (ribbon), AM / FM dual antenna - Radio and GUARD MCINTOSH power technology, which gives a low level of distortion into high levels of sound pressure. Parametric 6-band equalizer, 4-channel was also configured specifically for B4.
Separate to the head unit - under the front passenger seat is a system amplifier. The output power is processed by each of the 4 channels 24W and the subwoofer is 60W. The overall harmonic distortion of the system is only 0.05 percent - comparable to a good home audio system.
Acoustic system includes 20 mm soft tweeter dome in the area of \u200b\u200bthe sail, 165mm polypropylene cone 2-ways in the front and rear doors and 152 x 228mm subwoofer offset in one direction on the rear deck. The whole system weighs about 10 kilograms.
FROM electronically control The muffler is used to keep B4 quiet at low speed speeds. The pipe that leads to the rear muffler is divided into two parts, with one tube equipped with a folding valve. ECU - Working with a drive and cable - opens this valve when moving with the speed of medium and highway. This increases the flow of exhaust gases.
body
Liberty B4 hood is made of 1 mm aluminum thickness. After it is installed with its intermediate cooler, the lid node weighs 9.5 kg - about 8 kg is easier than the steel cover installed on other models Liberty.
The body strength was also improved compared with the first 1999 current-form of freedom. The torsion rigidity increased with the model 1999 2.52 x 106 nm2 / rad to 3.5 x 106 nm2 / Rad. Bending rigidity increases with 4.89 x 106 nm to 5.47 x 106 nm.
Other technical facts about B4 Liberty ... The B4 has 0.34 CD and CDA from 0.703 m2. This is 190 kW at 6,400 revolutions per minute and 320 nm at 4800 revolutions per minute - compared to Australian delivered Impreza Sti. Made 206 kW at 6,500 revolutions per minute and 353nm at 4000 revolutions per minute. The maximum pressurization pressure is quoted by 0.933 bar (at 4800 revolutions per minute). The engine has a minimum fuel rating with an octane number of 98 RON. Subaru Australia lists a vehicle capable of 0-60 miles per hour (not at all 100 km / h) in 6.5 seconds, and 14,6 second quarter miles, and maximum speed 220 km / h. Seventy-six percent of its galvanized metal body. Front Caliper Diameter Pot 42.8mm (x2), and rear caliper diameter Pot 38.1 mm (x1). B4 has a combined training cycle of 650 km.
GT.
GT is a configured Legacy Wagon version using 2.0L Twin-Turbo Engine.
USDM GT is a neat model that showed large brake caliperthan standard finish, as well as the imitation of the tree internal decoration. The engine is the same 2.5L EJ251 atmospheric motor found in standard trim.
USDM GT Limited
GT Limited is a package offered on the legacy of USDM, which had the same addition like a neat GT, and added the weather a weather package. This includes features such as heated seats, anti-icing and rearview mirrors, but saved the same EJ251 engine.

GT VDC.
The main specification of GT Twin Turbo, but came from Subaru own traction effort and the control stability of the VDC (third generation) VDC, (Vehicle Dynamics Control). These models were available only in AUTO.
GT-B.
GT-B is an extended version of GT Legacy Wagon, then "B" in the title with the link to the Bilstein spacers that the car was equipped. E-TUNE II was introduced in 2001 as a 2002 model. Cars with Bilstein shocks was a small bilstein icon attached to the back of the car, under the "GT" icon. They are shown some different internal options, large brakes and discs, and much more.
D-Type
The fourth revision of the third generation Legacy was introduced in 2001, made several important, but subtle changes in the front of the car. Buffers, radiator grille and headlamps were slightly changed, which makes interchangeability with the type of power it is impossible. The headlights in the Japanese market continued to use HID lamps, as in previous years, but the form on the spotlight was slightly changed. The grille was made slightly higher than the models of the AC, and the form of the bumper around the radiator grid was slightly changed to accommodate the lower seam, where the hood and bumper meet. In accordance with previous models, that HID headlights were dashboard An adjusting switch is installed, which allowed the driver re-directed the headlights to reduce the glare of the approaching vehicleAlthough the switches have been changed a bit internally adjust to increase the power required to configure the new style headlight. The hood has become light - aluminum alloy, similar to that, is placed on the STI "S at a time. Compression and deadlines to change to further reduce the effect of lowering the loss during switching from the main to the secondary stages. ECU also received an update, now the manufacturer's restructuring or the workshops of the third side setting. Additional optional additional offered when buying, including, but not limited to; New kit, headlight surrounds, and 4-sweat brake - stock wheels are designed to host this update. D-Type Legacy Best Subaru Frame on Serial Twin Turbo Engine In addition to the STI revision.
LEGACY WAGON AVIGNON CONCEPT (2001)
It was a concept car named after the district in the south of France, based on the station wagon. It includes a cobalt blue body, an atmospheric 2.5 l engine, a unique set of body, wheels and internal accents, such as seating color clay and a light dashboard.
The car was presented in 2001 by the 35th Annual Tokyo Motor Show.

With the arrival of the legacy of the third generation of the second generation OUTBACK, the wagon was his own model. The Heritage SUS remained unique for North America and was rebuilt with the Outback Limited package, offering a sedan with an additional horizontal six-cylinder engine, also additionally on the cart. The new body shape was introduced in Japan in September 1998, and called LanCaster. The Outback US specification was available since 2000. In October of the same year, Nissan introduced only for Japan called a competitor with Ouback, as an appearance is called Nissan Avenir Blaster.
The raised roof was saved, but the new body was smooth, round, and about 3 inches longer, with a slightly longer wheelbase. The new version of the flat four-cylinder "Boxer" The Subaru engine was standard, offering lower torque, better fuel efficiency and smooth operation. There were no new changes in the front suspension, but there was a complete makeup for the rear suspension, which included in itself new designLeaving less in the bottom. It adds more space in the trunk and cargo floor for the convenience of the owner. With a point of view of security, the improvement that was made consists of a three-point seat belt for the driver and four additional passengers. There is also an anchor child safety child for all seat positions in the back. For the front, seat belts are located so as to better keep the driver and front passenger, as well as with the front and rear pillows The safety established to protect people in such cases is a collision. Subaru Outback received good mark From Insurance Institute Security road In 2000, for its work in the safety of the demonstration of crash test 40 miles per hour. Outback was with the development to make it as safe, smooth and easy to drive, which can be.
The back seat on the Outback sedan does not fold, unlike the previous generations, where the back seat had 60:40 folded seat for extended length elements. Rear head restraints are now included as standard equipment at all levels of the interior trim. Clearance in 190 mm () 7.3. The engine now meets California Lion emission standards.
Outback has come standard from 165 hp. (123 kW) in SAE, 4-cylinder Opposite engine, with four SOHC design cylinders with a maximum torque (166 LB⋅ft (225 nm)), which was available on low revs compared to the previous generation. 2.5 liters of SOHC four-cylinder engine uses a toothed belt that needs to be replaced about 100,000 miles (160,000 km), while a 3.0 l six-cylinder engine uses a temporary chain that does not require replacement when normal conditions.
The base model with six cylinders was proposed as H6-3.0 - its interior, and the available options were identical to those from Outback "Limited", with the exception of a manual transmission, although many successful transmission swaps without a factory proved that it is physically bolts without release (but still requires some significant changes in electrical system). Badging for all 6-cylinder Outbacks was located on the front grille, as well as on the back of the vehicle.
At a higher level of interior decoration, known as Outback LL Bean in the USA, 200 Watt Makintosh Stereo system was standard from 2001 to 2003, these were some of the few vehicles, when there is a factory equipped with stereo equipment Mcintosh. Options are also included in the dash six CD drives - changer, VDC (for car dynamics), and double Moonroofs. OnStar was available as an option in the US-Specifications LL Bean. In the dash of satellite navigation, it was proposed on the Japanese-specifications of vehicles on the top wagons of the finishing level, starting from the 1998 model year, and the Momo black leather steering wheel with natural wooden inlaid, the handle of the gear shift knob and parking brake pens. Plaid the upholstery is still offered on the Japanese-specifications of Lancaster.
The six-cylinder was also available as a direct current, with Subaru VDC (Vehicle Dynamics Control) system, integrated control of stability with thrust control. The system was also connected to a previously used system of full drive of the Japanese market, called CD, in which the power was divided 45/55 in front-rear under normal conditions. When slipping the wheels detected, the system turns off the power with a bark and directs the energy to those that are not. Only when it is necessary to make the brakes will slow down the affected wheels when the vehicle detects excessive redundant or insufficient turning. This package was more sound insulation than other finishes, as well as the functions found on LL Bean, such as Makintosh Stereo, OnStar, and leather interior. Its cutting mass was slightly higher than that of the standard LL Bean finish, and while the VDC kneading was placed on the front panel of the quarter only that the H6-3.0 and Outback marking were also applied as usual.
Australia
2002-2003 Subaru Outback 2.5 Universal
2001-2002 Subaru Outback H6 3.0 Universal
Australian vehicle specifications differ from cars supplied in the USA, following the Japanese model; First of all, the headlights, side indicators (on the front panel of the quarter), rear lights, rear front and rear bumpers and a higher placement of the "outback" on the Identification signs of the front door of the body (unlike plastic shell).
This Outback generation was released in the style of an early golden colored shell, all-in-one headlights (do not differ from the US headlight model) and internally light gray fabric (sometimes spotted with different colors), light brown with wood textured dashboard and a simple tool cluster. Push bar (less kengular or rooobar style) was also available as an option on secondary market. Late Style (2002-2004) was updated with a silver sheath, an updated range of paint colors, apartment headlamp (where the lamp and indicators were in different sections of the unit) and internally dark gray / black fabric, dark gray plastic, very dark brown weak Texture of tree and metal sheets on the dial of the instrument panel.
Available models included the basic "Outback", "Limited outback", which is added by the hatch and cloth / leather seats and "Outback H6", which included a 6-cylinder engine with VDC, as described in this article. The H6 was released from a slightly different 16-inch wheels and are available in one metal pearl of dirty and white color instead of the usual color with a gold or silver sheath. H6 was available only in automatic, apparently due to the size of the 6-cylinder engine takes too much space to fit the manual box and associated with them mechanical devices Double range.
Japan
Lancaster (as you know, in Japan) was released initially in September 1998 after the initial issue of the third generation of Legacy in May 1998, the Lancaster model was available initially in 2.5L engine volume with E-4AT gearbox or 5-speed manual, in May In 2000, Subaru released LanCaster 6, which is distinguished by the revived Flat-6 Subaru engine. It was in production from April 2000 to May 2001, when Subaru has released a repaired outdated model included the revised Lancaster design. These changes were seen on "outbacks" produced in Japan, the USA built outbacks did not use the repaired design of the released Subaru Japan.
Lancaster ADA. (Active Driving Assist) was introduced in September 1999 the system of signs of two CCD - cameras are installed on both sides of the rearview mirror. The system was installed on models with 2.5L VDC, and later in 2000 on new Lancaster 6 VDC models.
ADA System Signs 4 Key Safety Components:
| function | Description |
|---|---|
| Lane Departure Warning | ADA will detect when the vehicle is divergent from the planned road. The audio sound is performed through the navigation system and the prevention of the dashboard is highlighted. |
| Inter-Vehicle Distance Warning | When the ADA detects the machine rapidly approaching another vehicle, in front, the system will warn the driver using the audio signal. |
| Dynamic cruise control | While cruise control is active, the ADA will keep the car at a safe distance from the car in-front. This, in turn, does not require input from the driver when the car quickly approaches the car forward. |
| Curves alarm / shift down | If the ADA detects the upcoming corner and calculates the car may encounter a thrust loss or / turning, the ADA will warn the driver with heard and down to move the transmission automatically to ensure the engine braking to the vehicle to slow down before entering the corner. |
Although recently in the Subaru Hay: Vision System (Japanese) (essentially, ADA) is located in the 5th generation of Legacy and Outback attracts the media for "new advanced technologies", the ADA system was actually a system designed in The late 1990s, along with the development of the 3rd generation of Legacy and in any way "new technologies", as such, and rather, the system is "again recognized" for a safer conscious global market.

Boxes gear
The 4-speed automatic transmission was a feature where the transmission can be instructed to ignore the 1st transmission from a constant stop to help driving on traction limited situations, such as ice and snow. The system is activated when the gear shift lever moves from the position "D" to the "second". The car will begin at the 2nd gear, and not the first. The transmissions also divides 50-50 torque between the front and rear wheels. After the machine stopped, the transmission will start back at 2nd, and not the 1st, while the system does not increase, to the 4th.
Japanese models with an automatic transmission include the "Power / Econo" button, which was previously installed on the gear selector, was translated into the rear transmission on the right side, due to the redevelopment of the automatic gearbox shift gear handle.
The automatic transmission also has the ability to change the switching torctions, and hold the gears more when the engine operates at high speed. This is achieved by pressing the accelerator pedal quickly, which leads to the transfer, do not hold the gear to 5000 revolutions per minute before moving to the next transmission. No indicator is displayed on the instrument panel, in contrast to previous generations. The transmissions also has a circulation motor protection by shifting the transmission to the next accessible gear once 6,500 revolutions per minute has been achieved, even if the gear selector is in the lower transmission position.
The Japanese-specification of cars with a double turbo had a "sportshift" of a transmission tytronic, which allowed the driver to press the automatic gear selector to the left, and then allow the driver to switch automatic as a manual transmission. In the dash of satellite navigation, it was proposed on the Japanese-specification of vehicles on the upper sedans of the finishing and wagon levels, starting from the 1998 model year, and the black leather steering wheel, the handle of the gear shift and the parking brake handle, are still offered.

Despite the fact that Subaru LEGACY sedan, nor when it was not sold in Russia with gigantic circulations, in our country the car was respected. The main reason for low sales circulation was the high cost of the car, and it, in turn, was due to a high technical level and reliability.
True, 4 years ago, after stopping the release of the 5th generation, the car went from our market. But with the beginning of the release of restyling subaru, the Legacy of the 6th generation, the prestigious Japanese car returned to Russia. And it's time to meet him in more detail.
History of the model
Compared with many models of Japanese cars, Legacy model is relatively young. Its first generation appeared in 1989 year. The car was externally intense, but at the same time there was an advanced technical stuffing. Opposite engines were installed on the machine, with a volume of 1.8 to 2.2 liters. At the same time, the most powerful EJ22 motor developed the capacity of 280 liters. from. In addition, four-channel ABS, adaptive suspension and other "chips" of prestigious models installed on the machine.
Subaru Legacy of the first generation
But the main feature of the model was the all-wheel drive transmission, which at that time was established exclusively on SUVs. This option led to increased controllability of the machine.
However, due to an unsuccessful appearance, the first generation of Subaru LEGACY in our country was almost unknown. Then, no one of the companies officially selling cars in our country, and the gray dealers were ignored by the car due to the high price. Although single cars can meet, even now.
Second generation The models appeared in 1993. Naturally, the right-hand drive version appeared first, but the version with the left handle appeared 2 years later - in 1995. This model is perhaps known to all motorists, because the car was sold from us officially and quite decent circulations.
Subaru Legacy Second Generation The car retained the philosophy of the previous generation, but his appearance was much more pleasant. This and official sales led to the success of the car in our country. The exact figures of the car sold could not be found. But even visually, on the roads, they met more than often.
One of the "chips" of the second generation was the all-wheel drive suspension, which was installed solely on all variants of the model. True, the front-wheel drive Legacy was sold on the Japanese Islands and in small quantities fell to us at the Far East.
Third generation I saw the light in 1998, in Japan. On the world market, the car came out only in 2 years, in 2000. Modernization was quite traditional. The appearance has changed not radically. The model removed the engine with a volume of 1.8 liters, but was added a new three-liter power unit. There were a number of changes, but we will not describe them. The main thing that must be said is that the success of the second generation did not repeat the model, and these machines were sold much less.
The model stood on the conveyor, relatively long, and in 2003 it changed the next generation.
Subaru Legacy of the Third Generation Fourth generation Legacy began selling since 2003. The machine radically changed its image. According to the technical part, there were also serious changes. Powerful turbocharged motors began to be installed on the car. In addition to the power units, almost all car systems underwent upgrades.
As for Russia, in despite the fact that the car was officially sold, he did not receive great popularity.
Subaru Legacy Fourth Generation Release of the fifth generation Began in 2009. Compared to other generations, this generation in Russia is as little-known as, for example, and the first generation. Machines, though sold in our country officially, they are rare on the roads. In total, about 150 copies were sold somewhere in the year. This was due, first of all, with a high price of cars, and not because of any technical problems.
Fifth generation Subaru Legacy Given this situation sixth generationwhich appeared in 2014 year, it was decided in Russia not to sell. However, at the Far East, directly, the car will be soldered and sold quite decent circulations. It seems not less than 150 cars that have been sold officially before.
Assessing the situation, the Japanese understood that they made a mistake, and the car still has good potential and need to return it to the market. Moreover, Subaru Outback, on the basis of Legacy, as sold, and sold.
In 2017, the sixth generation has undergone a planned restyling, it was decided to return it to Russian market. And we will look at it in more detail.
Sixth Generation Subaru Legacy Appearance
Despite the fact that it is just a restyling, the appearance of the Japanese sedan has changed significantly. Radiator grille changed the form and increased in size, which gave a car solidity. Headlight headlamps became a wonderful complex form, but at the same time they fit very well into the exterior. By the way, they are on the Japanese sedan LED.
Front bumper, like without, special delights, although large fake ventilation channels on its sides are also aimed at creating an image of a solid car. And it is not wonderful, because in the competitors of the sedan, such a powerful market player as Toyota Camry is described.

Engine
This motor appeared as a deepest modernization of at least the legendary SUBARU EJ253 power unit.
With the advent of aluminum blocks of cylinders, it was noticed that the reliability of motors suffers, as it is not possible to achieve the same resource as cast iron heads. However, the engines with aluminum heads had a lot of lower mass. Subaru engineers very elegantly solved this problem. They left the aluminum block, but at the same time it was projected by cast-iron sleeves, a thickness of 3.5 mm. Thus, it was possible to achieve reliability of cast iron motors and aluminum masses. In addition, the engine received pistons with new skirts that reduce friction.
This engine has a pretty decent power, despite the absence of turbocharging. It is 175 liters. from. The torque of this motor is 235 N * m at 4000 revolutions per minute.
