The Legacy rides on the new Subaru Global Platform, and shares most of its underpinnings with the taller Outback wagon.

Regardless of engine, every Legacy comes with a continuously variable transmission and all-wheel drive.

The key way to spot a turbocharged model is from the rear -- it has visible exhaust tips.
