2017 Subaru Legacy

The Subaru Legacy sets itself apart by being the token mid-sized car that comes standard in AWD. Few other cars offer AWD, and it’s a pricey upgrade when they do. Even with all-wheel drive, which usually has a negative effect on fuel economy, the Legacy also is fuel efficient. EPA estimates range from 23 mpg combined (20 city/28 highway) with the six-cylinder engine to 29 mpg combined (25 city/34 highway) with the four.

This year will be Subarus 50th anniversary of offering its signature horizontally opposed, "boxer" engines in its cars. Powering the 2017 Subaru Legacy is a 2.5-liter four-cylinder boxer that generates 175 horsepower, whilst the Legacy 3.6R Limited is equipped with a 3.6-liter six-cylinder engine with an output of 256 horsepower. All models come standard with a continuously variable transmission, which drives like an automatic.

The Legacy really shines in regard to safety. Stability and traction control, antilock disc brakes, a rearview camera, front side airbags, side curtain airbags and seat cushion airbags all come standard this year. The Legacy aced every federal and IIHS test, and is one of the few cars on the road to do so. Subaru is also one of the first- if not only- automakers to test pet safety devices. This surprising effort was a wise decision that will offer a welcomed source of assurance throughout the imminent endeavors of pet owners.

The new Subaru Legacy hasn’t undergone any drastic styling changes, yet the fact remains that the Legacy can do things for you that no other midsized car is capable of. It’s safer than vehicles twice its price, is fuel efficient, and is extremely proficient. If you’re going to be shopping for a midsized car this year, the Legacy is a must try for you.

2017 Subaru Crosstrek

The newly released Subaru Crosstrek, at its core, is the Subaru Impreza with a tougher suspension and higher clearance.  It offers all-wheel drive, a fuel efficient four cylinder engine, and a roomy interior and cargo area. If you’d normally need a truck or tall SUV for outdoor activities or hindering weather, the Crosstrek could be a fresh alternative that meets your needs and provides additional comfort and safety that can otherwise be hard to come by in a utility centered segment.

If your adventurous heart desires a little luxury- the Crosstrek can easily be outfitted to meet your preferred level of comfort. The interior has a fairly simple and malleable layout. Optional adjustments include a personalized control center, available leather appointed seats and steering wheel, and striking contrast stitching. The versatility of the interior is one of the Crosstreks most useful and innovative new features. The exterior design is at first that of a sedan, with a sleekly detailed fascia and hood and an aerodynamic shape. However, the Crosstrek has more rugged appeal than a sedan with its high clearance and stout tires.

One engine is available in the 2017 Crosstrek, a 2.0-liter flat-four rated at 148 hp and 145 lb-ft of torque mated to either a five-speed manual or a continuously variable automatic transmission (CVT). Subarus unique Boxer engine sits low in the frame- allowing for a lower center of gravity for improved response and enhanced protection over the passenger area. The Crosstrek is also one of the most fuel efficient small crossovers available- rated at 26/34 mpg city/highway with the CVT and 23/31 mpg with the manual.

Standard features on the 2017 Crosstrek include a rearview camera, Subaru’s Starlink multimedia interface with a 6.2-inch touchscreen, fog lights, a rear spoiler, 60/40 split-folding rear seats,  Available features on higher trim levels include leather upholstery, heated front seats, a Harman Kardon audio system, and the Starlink infotainment system with a larger seven-inch touchscreen and navigation.

The Subaru Crosstrek literally looks down the road for you thanks to its EyeSight safety system. Using two cameras, EyeSight can interpret objects directly ahead of the car, allowing for adaptive cruise control, lane-departure warning, and collision warning and mitigation. NHTSA has given the 2017 Crosstrek a 5 Star overall safety score (out of a possible five stars). In IIHS testing, the crossover received a Top Safety Pick+ rating after receiving a Good score in all crash tests. The car also received a Superior rating on the crash prevention and mitigation test.

The Subaru Crosstrek is a fuel efficient crossover SUV that offers a refreshing alternative to the majority of off road capable vehicles. It’s easy to park and maneuver, all-wheel drive is standard, it offers plenty of clearance, and has an impressive suite of safety features as well.
