CHERRY HILL, NJ -- June 1, 2015: Subaru of America, Inc. today announced pricing on the 2016 Subaru
Legacy and Outback models, both now offering the new SUBARU STARLINK™
Safety and Security features and adding other enhancements. Legacy and
Outback were fully redesigned for 2015. A deft blend of confident design,
standard Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive, interior refinement, award-winning
safety technology and exemplary fuel efficiency has helped push both the
Legacy and Outback to new sales records. The 2016 Legacy and Outback arrive
at dealerships this summer.
In one of the industry’s
most competitive segments, the midsize Legacy sedan remains the only model
to come standard with all-wheel drive. The combination of Subaru’s
acclaimed Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive and standard Active Torque Vectoring
gives Legacy confident grip in all weather conditions. The 2016 Legacy
2.5i, featuring a 175-horsepower 2.5-liter Boxer engine and standard
Lineartronic® Continuously Variable Transmission (CVT) with manual mode
and paddle shifters, starts at an MSRP of $21,745 Legacy’s 26 MPG
city/36 MPG highway EPA-estimated fuel economy ratings are the best of any
all-wheel drive midsize sedan and are competitive with front-wheel drive
models.
The Subaru Outback, the World’s First
Sport-Utility Wagon®, continues to gain momentum and exert influence in
the segment it helped to pioneer two decades ago. Equipped as standard with
Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive, raised ground clearance, Active Torque
Vectoring, X-Mode, Hill Descent Control and Hill Start Assist, the roomy
Outback is a master of outdoors-oriented activities and everyday family
hauling.
The 2016 Outback 2.5i, with the 2.5-liter Boxer
engine and standard Lineartronic CVT with manual mode and paddle shifters,
starts at an MSRP of $24,995. The Outback 2.5i achieves 25 MPG city/33 MPG
EPA-estimated fuel economy, among the highest for midsize crossovers with
all-wheel drive.
On Legacy 2.5i and Outback 2.5i models, the
Active Grille Shutter system helps to improve fuel economy by reducing wind
resistance. The Legacy 3.6R and Outback 3.6R Limited models are powered by
a 256-horsepower 3.6 liter, 6-cylinder Boxer engine teamed to a high-torque
Lineartronic CVT with manual mode and paddle shifters.
Both
the Legacy and Outback receive several refinements for 2016. On all models,
a new auto on/off mode operates the windshield wipers with the headlights.
Subaru retuned the electric power-assist steering for all Legacy and
Outback models to provide an even more linear and natural feel. In the 2015
redesign, the Legacy Limited trims gained exclusive Stablex suspension
dampers, and these have been further refined to significantly reduce
vibration over rough roads, especially those with washboard-texture
concrete surfaces.
EyeSight Driver Assist Technology
Adds Lane Keep Assist
The 2015 Legacy and Outback
earned the IIHS Top Safety Pick+ rating with the available Subaru-developed
EyeSight system, which includes Adaptive Cruise Control, Automatic
Pre-Collision Braking and Lane Departure and Sway Warning, and, for 2016,
adds a Lane Keep Assist function. Limited trims also feature standard Blind
Spot Detection + Rear Cross Traffic Alert, which are included with the
EyeSight option on the Premium trims.
Lane Keep Assist, which
the driver can activate with a steering wheel mounted switch, is an
enhancement of the EyeSight system that activates above 40 mph. If the
EyeSight camera detects the vehicle drifting from the lane, steering
assistance control engages to direct the vehicle back into the lane. If the
vehicle leaves the lane, Lane Departure Warning is triggered and audible
and visual alerts are engaged.
On Eyesight-equipped models,
Steering Responsive Fog Lights help support visibility in the direction of
a turn. In their redesign, the new-generation Legacy and Outback also
gained driver and front passenger seat cushion airbags designed to retain
the occupant’s seating position and hold the occupant in place in an
accident.
New SUBARU STARLINK™ Safety &
Security
For 2016, Premium and Limited trims now
feature the new SUBARU STARLINK Safety and Security features. Two STARLINK
packages are available and are among the most affordable in the industry.
The STARLINK Safety Plus package includes SOS Emergency Assistance,
Enhanced Roadside Assistance, Automatic Collision Notification, Maintenance
Notifications, Monthly Vehicle Health Report and Diagnostic Alerts.
For even greater peace of mind, the STARLINK Safety Plus &
Security Plus Package adds Stolen Vehicle Recovery Service, Vehicle
Security Alarm Notification, Remote Lock/Unlock, Remote Horn and Lights and
Remote Vehicle Locator.

connectivity and entertainment services. STARLINK is designed to work
seamlessly with the in-car head unit to provide smartphone integration and
