FHI Introduces the 2013 LEGACY and OUTBACK at New York International Auto ShowTokyo, March 30, 2012 – Fuji Heavy Industries Ltd. (FHI), the manufacturer of Subaru automobiles, today
announced that it will showcase the 2013 Legacy and Outback (US specifications) at the New York International
Auto Show (Press day: April 4 and April 5; Open to the public from April 6 through April 15). Those two models
will be introduced to the US market this summer.
The product concept of 2013 Legacy and Outback is “All performance enhancement” that covers designs, fuelefficiency, driveability and safety. In pursuit of further evolution that greatly exceeds customers’ expectations,
FHI has developed the 2013 Subaru Legacy and Outback with more extensive modifications than a typical yearlymodel change. The modifications are not limited to exterior and interior changes. The Legacy and Outback-likesporty driving feel with comfort and peace of mind were further refined. The new generation
Horizontally-Opposed Boxer engine that features in both models for 2013 improves fuel efficiency. Whilemaintaining a top level safety assessment, the new models feature Subaru’s original advanced driving assist
system “EyeSight” for the first time in North America. “EyeSight” was previously introduced in Japan andAustralia markets and has received very high reputation.

Legacy (US specifications)

Outback (US specifications)■ Design< Exterior >By adopting the headlamps with the motif common with other Subaru vehicles and a hexagon grille that conveys
wideness, stability and sharpness in the front face, a sporty and sophisticated image is expressed. The new front
grille and bumper design accentuates both models’ uniqueness, providing a sharper look for the Legacy and more
powerful look for the Outback.

< Interior >With the design concept of “Sportiness” and “Luxury”, quality and functionality were improved. Two types ofgrain were newly adopted for the instrument panel, door panel and shift knob: one for Legacy and the other forOutback. The grain was also added to the shift knob for a harmonized interior design. The new
Electro-luminescent meter with color LCD was adopted for the upper trim levels. The color LCD corresponds tothe newly introduced “EyeSight”. Those modifications enhance both the visibility of the indicator and productappeals.
■ Fuel Efficiency
To satisfy the increasing demands for environmental consciousness and fuel efficiency, the new generation Boxer
engine was newly adopted for the 2.5 liter models. By combining the light and compact second generation
Lineartronic (CVT), first introduced in the new Impreza, fuel economy was further improved.
■ Driveability
Low to mid speed torque centers on manageability in practical use and was improved by the adoption of the newgeneration Boxer engine and the second generation Lineartronic (CVT). High fuel efficiency and engine output
were both achieved. Suspensions were also revised to further refine the unique driving experience of the Legacyand Outback: they are fun to drive, giving a secure driving feel, excellent stability in straight line driving and goodcornering performance. Body vibration is kept to a minimum and better maneuverability was also achieved due tothe setting change of damper and spring rate, reinforcement of the cradle frame and the body structure.
■ Safety
Subaru’s renowned crash safety performance, which receives excellent evaluations, has been enhanced by theaddition of body reinforcement and the design change of airbag. Moreover, the Subaru’s original advanced driving
assist system “EyeSight” is now introduced to North America. It features “Pre-Collision Braking Control”,“Pre-Collision Brake Assist System”, “Adaptive Cruise Control with all-speed range tracking function” and “Lane
Sway Warning”, providing drivers with more comfortable driving situations.
The Subaru press conference is scheduled at the Subaru booth on April 5, 2012 at 9.55h.
FHI will pursue further growth by offering customers “Enjoyment and Peace of Mind”, its brand statement“Confidence in Motion” at the foundation, through all processes in product planning, development, marketing andservice operations.
