Subaru Legacy 5 (BM)
Mid-Size SedanProduct Gallery
Product Overview
Subaru Legacy 5 (BM) is a sporty mid-size sedan in production from 2009 to 2014. It is available with a range of flat-4 and flat-6 engines that displaced 2.0L to 3.6L.
A large part of the reason that attracts buyers to the Gen5 Subaru Legacy is probably the flat-6 (H6) engine, which has very low center of gravity, instant power response, and perfect smoothness. It should be noted that the H6 engine is not a true "boxer" engine, as the opposing cylinders share the same crank pin.
The BM Legacy also comes with a high towing capacity.
Drivers who appreciate handling should keep in mind that the Subaru Legacy V uses MacPherson front suspension, which doesn't provide the best cornering performance.
