SUBARU ANNOUNCES LEGACY PRODUCTION WILL END IN 2025
- Production will end spring 2025 at conclusion of 2025 model year

Subaru of America, Inc. today announced production of the Legacy sedan will end next year at the conclusion of the 2025 model year.
The Subaru Legacy was designed for the American market and on its debut in 1989 it became the first Subaru manufactured in the United States at Subaru’s new Indiana plant, Subaru of Indiana Automotive. The Subaru Legacy has been beloved by owners and renowned for its exemplary safety and reliability; over 94% of Subaru Legacy vehicles sold in the last 10 years are still on the road today* and the model has been an Insurance Institute of Highway Safety Top Safety Pick for 18 years running. ** ***
The first-generation Legacy began a new era for Subaru with a competitive mid-sized sedan and wagon that featured sleek styling and advanced technology such as multi-point fuel injection, four-wheel disc brakes, fully independent suspension, and available Full-Time AWD. Later, the Legacy Wagon became the foundation for the legendary Subaru Outback.
Since its debut, Legacy models sold in the U.S. have been assembled at Subaru of Indiana in Lafayette, Indiana. In total, the six generations of the Subaru Legacy have racked up over 1.3 million sales in the U.S. Though the Legacy is the longest-running Subaru model line, its discontinuation reflects market shifts from passenger cars to SUVs and crossovers and Subaru’s transition to electrified and fully electric vehicles. Including the Solterra EV, which debuted in the 2023 model year, Subaru Corporation, the parent company of Subaru of America, Inc., previously announced it would produce eight EV models by the 2028 calendar year.
The 2025 Legacy will arrive at Subaru retailers this spring and start at $24,895.
