For 2021, the Outback combines a car-like drive and handling.

It includes standard full-time Symmetrical all-wheel drive, 220 millimetres of ground clearance and standard X-Mode with Hill Descent Control.

Like the Outback, Legacy too continues to offer standard full-time Symmetrical all-wheel drive.

Both the 2021 Outback and Legacy offer safety features thanks to their Subaru Global Platform underpinnings and are powered by the engines that offer varying levels of performance. The vehicles come standard with a direct injection 2.5-litre SUBARU BOXER engine that produces 182 horsepower and 176 lb.-ft. of torque. Outback XT and Legacy GT models offer a turbocharged 2.4-litre SUBARU BOXER that produces 260 horsepower and 277 lb.-ft. of torque.

The duo also come with convenience, and safety features — especially Subaru’s EyeSight Driver Assist Technology, LED steering responsive headlights and available in Brilliant Bronze Metallic, a fresh paint option for 2021.

2021 Impreza

The compact Impreza bundles plenty of features into an affordable package. Impreza benefits from EyeSight Driver Assist Technology, along with driver-selectable Subaru Intelligent Drive (SI-DRIVE) engine management system. Both systems are standard on CVT-equipped models.

Working alongside Subaru’s legendary Symmetrical full-time all-wheel drive and Lineartronic continuously variable transmission (CVT).

Subaru maintains its emphasis on world-class safety through features such as standard rear seat reminder and collision detection unlock function, all built on the Subaru Global Platform.

The Subaru Global Platform underpins Subaru’s new generation of vehicles, along with an increase in the use of structural adhesive and ultra-high tensile-strength steel, contributing to improved responsiveness and driving dynamics. Not to mention increased space and enhanced levels of safety.

Subaru’s goal is not only to reduce the impact of collisions, but to also prevent them wherever possible. The Impreza offers Subaru EyeSight Driver Assist Technology, which includes adaptive cruise control, pre-collision braking and lane departure and sway warning, as well as lane-keep assist, among others, available on all trims when equipped with the Lineartronic CVT.
