Product Overview

Subaru Legacy IV (code BL) facelift is an affordable mid-size sports sedan in production from 2006 to 2009. It is available with a range of flat-4 and flat-6 engines that displaced 2.0L to 3.0L.
The facelift was limited to the design of the model, and it made the Legacy look a bit more upscale.
As it is the case with the original Gen4 Legacy sedan, enthusiasts probably find the H6 engine in the 3.0R model most interesting. Indeed, Subaru is one of the only manufacturers that puts flat-6 engines in their vehicles, with Porsche being another example. Unlike the 911, which has the H6 hanging at the back, however, the Legacy has it hanging out front.
This setup, together with Subaru's symmetric AWD system, contributes to Legacy's unique handling characteristics.
