The Subaru Legacy Outback, a pioneer in the crossover SUV segment, offered a unique blend of car-like handling and wagon practicality when it debuted in 2001. This generation, produced from 2001 to 2002, marked a significant evolution for the Outback. Building upon its predecessor's success, the 2001-2002 Legacy Outback boasted a more refined exterior with a larger grille, restyled headlights, and a slightly longer wheelbase. Inside, the cabin was modernized with a new dashboard design, improved materials, and more spacious seating. The signature ground clearance, synonymous with the Outback, was maintained, providing confidence on unpaved roads and during inclement weather. This generation also saw the introduction of Subaru's Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive system as standard across the entire Outback lineup, enhancing its all-weather capabilities. Under the hood, the 2001-2002 Outback offered two engine options. The 2.5-liter flat-four engine, producing 165 horsepower, was the standard offering, providing a good balance of performance and fuel efficiency. For those seeking more power, a 3.0-liter flat-six engine was available, delivering 212 horsepower and a more robust driving experience. Both engines were paired with a four-speed automatic transmission, with a five-speed manual gearbox being offered in certain trims. The Legacy Outback's combination of practicality, all-weather capability, and comfortable ride made it a popular choice for families and outdoor enthusiasts alike. Its well-rounded nature, coupled with Subaru's reputation for reliability, ensured its success in a growing market segment.
