The 2011 Subaru Legacy Tourer. Unlike other cars from the very first drive. Nowadays, diesel engines are far from uncommon but the Subaru Boxer diesel towers above thanks to its natural balance, torque, low vibration and inherent smoothness, all thanks to it's uncommon design and engineering.

Inside, luxury & style include dual-zone automatic climate control with rear heater ducts, multi-adjustable front & rear seats and a richly finished air of refinement throughout.

Driving controls are all logically positioned with standard satellite switches for audio and cruise control situated on the steering wheel and dual zone climate controls residing on the centre console. After all, nothing should distract you from such a pleasurable drive. Models with the new Lineartronic transmission deliver seamless gear changing (with steering wheel paddles for manual control) perfectly in tune to the engines status at any one time resulting in better performance, instant response and fuel economy.

Choose a NavPlus model and refinement moves up another gear thanks to a 6-speaker premium sound system with in-dash DVD/CD player, MP3 and WMA capability and speed sensitive audio adjustment. All models feature Bluetooth connectivity and MP3 auxiliary input with navigation system models also featuring a built in reversing camera and a visual input jack for other devices. Navigation comes to the big screen courtesy of an extra large (8 inch) and high resolution VGA touch screen for faster, more accurate guidance with voice recognition in English, Dutch, French, German, Italian or Spanish. And, when you’ve finished your journey, and the car is parked, the DVD player features video as well as audio playback capability.

Cargo-handling is uncommonly easy. From the shopping bag hooks down to the 60/40 split folding and reclining seats and under-floor storage, the new Legacy also boasts a removable & retractable cargo cover to keep luggage out of view and away from sunlight.

The 2011 Subaru Legacy Tourer – if only all cars had this much in common.
