Motor Show debut for Boxer Diesel Legacy Saloon

Subaru has chosen the British International Motor Show (July 23 to August 3, ExCeL, London) to unveil the Saloon version of its critically acclaimed new Boxer Diesel Legacy.

Launched earlier in the year in the Legacy Sports Tourer and Outback, the world’s first boxer-diesel-engine for a passenger car offers outstanding refinement, throttle response and fuel economy coupled with class-leading ultra-low emissions.

Also exceptional is the new Boxer Diesel Legacy’s handling thanks to the engine’s light weight and low centre-of-gravity afforded by its horizontally-opposed cylinder layout.

The new Saloon is priced from £19,995 on-the-road and is available in the three trim levels of 2.0D R, 2.0D RE and 2.0D REn. It joins the Subaru Legacy Sports Tourer and Outback crossover mid-sized estates which were launched this February.

This is Subaru’s first diesel engine – developed in-house using over 40 years’ expertise in ‘boxer’ engine technology coupled with turbocharging know-how gleaned from the fierce World Rally Championship arena.
