The Legacy is brand new for 2015. Its platform has been revised and its silhouette modified to give it a more modern look. The mechanics are familiar as the base engine is a 2.5L 175-hp four-cylinder boxer paired with a six-speed manual gearbox. The only automatic transmission is a CVT, even with the 256-hp H6.
