Subaru redesigned the 2010 model Legacy with minor changes are, 2011 Subaru Legacy. The Legacy 2.5 Limited is now the only turbocharged version with the 2.5 GT Premium discontinued for 2011. The harman/kardon Audio Package now includes XM Satellite Radio with a 3-month trial subscription.

Subaru will continue to offer three engine choices and three basic models.At the bottom of the lineup, the 2.5i continues with a mostly carryover 2.5-liter, 170-horsepower four-cylinder. Subaru says that a new resin-based intake manifold lowers the engine’s weight and improves low-end torque, which stands at 170 lb-ft. — now at 4,000 rpm versus 4,400 rpm before. Subaru also says that improved cooling and a revised catalyst will boost fuel economy figures above the 20/27 (manual) and 18/25 (automatic) before. The 2.5i will now come standard with a six-speed manual (versus a five-speed in 2009) and it will offer a CVT automatic rather than the four-speed conventional automatic from before.
