All about Subaru

On April 23, Subaru said it will end production of its oldest U.S.-built model, the Legacy sedan, at the conclusion of the 2025 model year, citing a shift in consumer preferences from passenger cars to SUVs and crossovers, and Subaru’s transition to electrified and fully electric vehicles.

Subaru previously announced it would produce eight EV models globally by the 2028 calendar year.

The 2025 Legacy will arrive at U.S. Subaru dealerships this spring starting at USD 24,895.

As the first Subaru model built in Lafayette, Indiana, the Legacy entered the marketplace in 1989, resulting in total U.S. sales to date of 1.3 million vehicles across six generations.

The first-generation Legacy launched in the U.S. market with a competitive mid-sized sedan and wagon featuring multi-point fuel injection, four-wheel disc brakes, fully independent suspension, and available Full-Time AWD.  

The Legacy Wagon later became the foundation for the Subaru Outback.

On April 19, Subaru announced a collaboration with AMD to design circuits for a system-on-chip (SoC) that integrates stereo camera recognition processing with AI inference, enabling the generation of optimal decisions. Through this collaboration, Subaru aims to further enhance its safety performance toward the goal of “zero fatal road accidents in 2030.”

Subaru has partnered with AMD to design circuits for an optimized SoC based on the recently launched AMD Versal AI Edge Series Gen 2 adaptive SoC, with the goal of achieving cutting-edge AI inference performance and ultra-low latency processing at a low cost. With this optimized SoC, Subaru will further enhance the recognition processing capabilities of stereo cameras, and aims to incorporate this new technology into its next-generation EyeSight system in the second half of the 2020s.
