The area the Legacy needed the most attention, was the exterior. Compared to other cars in its class, the Legacy just appeared bulky and turned a lot of buyers away. With great design in the competitor's eyes (Mazda 6, Ford Fusion), the Legacy needed a revamp bad. It got it, and it looks great
Exterior profiles of the vehicle show little changes. Same ride height and everything.
Thicker grille lines and a more angular design gives the 2015 Legacy a distinct front end that matches up with the Outback and shows the design direction Subaru is heading.
A small headlight design revision. The "hawk eye" look of the 2014 on the right gets a little more angular and rounded for 2015. It's follows the slope of the Legacy body line instead of rising giving the Legacy a more aerodynamic look.
Much like the current model Forester, the A-Pillar was moved forward and the side mirror was moved to the door to increase visibility in the front of the vehicle. It also gives the effect of a more open cabin as your view is less obstructed.
Like the head lights, the tail lights get a more narrow and rounded design. The darker red in the tail lights makes them look more modern and is a small touch that give the Legacy a new look.
The trunk design and opening remain largely unchanged with the exception of the tail light housing. The trunk and interior volume remain largely unchanged.
Also updated for 2015, the wheels on the Limited's get their own design that is different than the Alloy Wheel Package and Premium trim's. The new design helps the higher trim level stand out amongst the crowd with its stylish black accents. These are obviously the wheels standard on the Premium.
The back up camera is now standard across all 2015 Subaru Legacy models. From the 2.5i to the 3.6R Limited, no moonroof package required.
