Year to Year Changes
1991 Subaru Outback and Legacy:
The Legacy Sport Sedan and the LSi luxury sedans join the L and LS models introduced last year. The Sport Sedan has exclusive use of a new 160-horsepower turbocharged version of the 130-horsepower 2.2-liter flat-4 that's standard on other Legacys. The sport sedan also comes with permanently engaged 4-wheel drive.
1992 Subaru Outback and Legacy:
A new driver-side airbag and a mild facelift are the primary changes made to the 1992 Legacy. The new airbag is standard on LS and LSi Legacys and optional on L models, and was added to the options list of the Sport Sedan later in the model year. Other new features include a "pass-through" opening in the rear seat (on all but the L), a dash-mounted slide-out cupholder, and rear-seat heater ducts.
1993 Subaru Outback and Legacy:
The driver-side airbag that arrived last year, as well as other new equipment, become standard this year on the base-model Subaru L. In addition, two new wagon models join the lineup. Added to the L and LS versions are an LSi luxury model and a sporty Touring Wagon model. The new Touring Wagon joins the Sport Sedan model in providing the 160-horsepower turbocharged 2.2-liter Subaru motor. It comes paired with a standard 4-speed automatic transmission and all-wheel drive.
1994 Subaru Outback and Legacy:
To spark sales for '94, Subaru adds new series of "active lifestyle" versions to its four distinct trim levels of sedans and station wagons. The four new lifestyle models are called "Sun Sport," "Alpine Sport," "GT lifestyle," and "Outdoor lifestyle." All are based on the Legacy L wagon and each comes with its own distinctive interior fabrics, exterior trim, and alloy wheels. Sun Sport is the only one of the four with front-wheel drive; the other three are AWD models.
