CHERRY HILL, NJ– Subaru of America announced the EPA fuel economy results for 2010-MY Legacy. The 2010 all-wheel drive Legacy achieves up to 26 mpg combined and 31 mpg highway, despite having grown in size in almost every dimension.
Specifically, the Legacy 2.5i CVT now exhibits better fuel economy (EPA combined) than such Front-Wheel competitors such as Honda Accord, Mazda6i, VW Passat and Hyundai Sonata. Furthermore, the new Legacy is now the highest rated midsize AWD sedan (EPA combined) in the U.S. market for 2010-MY.
Tim Mahoney, senior vice president and CMO of Subaru of America said, "We are thrilled that the all-new 2010 Legacy not only offers more space and a more rewarding drive than the competition, but it also delivers better fuel economy at a very competitive price."
The Subaru Legacy comes with Subaru's legendary Boxer engine, Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive, quick-ratio steering and a new double-wishbone suspension system. The 2010 Legacy has an entry-level MSRP price of $19,995 (excl. delivery) and will provide an alternative for customers looking for more from the mid-sized sedan segment.
