Japanese model
Subaru still offers a choice between front and all-wheel-drive for its domestic vehicle market even after 1995.
GT (1993-1998)
Introduced at launch in October 1993, the Second Generation Subaru Legacy GT introduced a new version of the Subaru Sequential Twin Turbo from their 1994cc flat four engine. The new engine, known as the EJ20H, is operated with one small turbocharger at low engine speeds to deliver a good throttle response, equipped with a second turbocharger at high engine speeds for additional power. The maximum power output is 250 ps (246.6 bhp) at 6,500 rpm and the maximum torque is 308.9 Nm (227.8 lbfÃ, Â · ft) at 5,000 rpm.
The GT is available as a five-door Roof Touring Wagon (BG model code) or four-door Sedan (BD model code). The Sedan version is only available with a four-speed automatic transmission of the Subaru E-4AT with 4-Wheel Drive and Variable Differential Torque Distribution Center (VTD-4WD), while the Touring Wagon version has an additional option of a five-speed manual transmission with 4-Wheel Drive and Limited-Slip Viscous Center Differential (VCD-4WD).
In June 1996, the EJ20H engine was upgraded to 260.0 ps (256.4 bhp) at 6,500 rpm and 318.7 Nm (235.1 lbfÃ, Â · ft) at 5,000 rpm. GT/B (1993-1996) "> GT/B (1993-1996)
RS (1993-1998)
RS is a GT sedan for the second generation Outback, and is available manually and for the first automatic transmission. A GT sedan is available, with full leather and automatic transmission only.
GT-B (1996-1999)
Is a Japanese model station outlet introduced in June 1996 (BG5B). These include the front and back Bilstein struts, with upgrades also available in the RS. The designation of "B" means Bilstein. The Legacy GT is available for sale around the same time as the Nissan Avenir Salut turbocharged 2.0 L with AWD. The GT-B also offers larger brakes, sway bars, wheels, and several different interior options. The manual version of GT-B and RS also featured the twin-turbo EJ20R motorcycle, which is the first Legacy to offer 206KW. This manual also shares the TY752VBCAA manual transmission from Version 3 STI. Auto version of GT-B and RS but featuring less powerful EJ20H, as used in GT.
Type TS R
TS type R, is a natural DOHC version of the 2.0L Subaru flat-four version, and has the same trim as the GT. B spec TS type R is also available, with the same body kit, interior, wheels, and Bilstein suspension.
250T
250T is a natural-aspired DOHC 2.5H version of Subaru flats, available in full GT trims. The B 250T spec is also available, with the same Bilck body kit, wheels, and suspension.
GT-B Limited (1997-1998)
The Limited Edition GT-B wagon is only offered for BG5C (MY97) revision, with the modified front bumper featuring additional large floodlights. Other differences including the woodgrain MOMO wheels and dental gears are not available. They are mechanically identical to the BG5C GTB standard.
European Model
LPG
The LPG option was introduced as an alternative fuel source on European models with 2.0 L and 2.2 L engines, built by Necam Koltec company. Fuel tanks are installed in the spare tire compartment, with spare tires mounted vertically on the left side of the trunk or cargo area.
Legacy Twin Turbo
Turbocharged versions continue to be available in most international markets. Special tours and racing versions are available in Japan, as well as 2-liter twin sequential turbocharged (EJ20H & EJ20R) DOHC versions on both Legacy and wagon sedans, listed as "2-stage Twin Turbo Boxer" on the shroud of the machine.. The machine is popular among Japanese buyers due to reduced tax liability under Japanese vehicle size regulations that provide performance gains compared to larger cars sold there with larger engines and higher tax assessments. Twin turbo can only be mounted on the right-hand drive because the turbo on the left hand disrupts both the master brake cylinder and the steering relationship, among other things. The minor performance issue with twin turbo is "dead turbo zone" before the second turbo will kick around 4700-5200 rpm. The continuous traction transmission system, called VTD by Subaru, is used with all JDM turbocharged vehicles with automatic transmissions. The AWD VTD system is a permanent AWD because the division is 36%/64%.
Crop level
The brim trim Brighton is also carried over from the first-generation facelifted version that is priced under the "L" trim option.
The "GT" trim level appeared in 1995 for MY1996. The term "Limited" appears in "GT", known as "GT Limited" for the 1998 model. The term "Limited" is used by itself in Outback for the 1998 model.
The GT model, first offered as a trim-cart package for the United States version in 1994, became a full upgrade for the 1996 model, using the new 2.5L EJ25D flat-4 DOHC engine. The GT model continues into the current model, with Limited edition available, offering heated leather or chair cloth and trim and moonroof colored glass. Drivers and front passenger airbags are added to the redesigned interior. New equipment is added to the list of features including remote RF lockless entry, fog lights on the upper trim and variable-assist power steering.
Outback
The Outback concept comes from Subaru of America, which suffered sales slump in the mid-1990s partly due to the lack of entry of the ever-growing sport utility vehicle market. Not having the finances to design a new vehicle, Subaru decided to add cladding of the body and lift the suspension to their legacy wagon. Named Outback Outback , after the Australian outback, actor Paul Hogan is a spokesperson in the North American market, playing from the Australian name of the vehicle and describing the vehicle as a capable and more efficient alternative to large, truck-based SUVs. Sales exceeded expectations, with Tim Mahoney, Senior Vice President Subaru of America stating "[the Outback] saved our company."
The Legacy Outback was officially introduced to the North American market at the 1994 New York Auto Show, and was known in Japan from August 1995 as Legacy Grand Wagon , and in Australia as Outback trim with normal ground clearance but "SUV look" with two tone paint and fog lamps. For the 1995 model, the Legacy wagon in the North American market is available as Alpine Sport and Sun Sport, which is a Value Option Package included on the "L" level slim wagon, and a chart showing the option package being installed. In Japan, the Legacy train is called Wagon Touring Legacy so the Grand wagon nomenclature is meant to signify a more luxurious and luxurious approach to the equipment offered. The exterior was designed by Olivier Boulay, who was hired by Subaru for the short term.
For the 1995 model year, Outback's first year was introduced, Outback is a slim package on the basic model of Legacy wagon "L", which mainly consists of thick fabric interiors, carpeted berber rugs, luggage racks and fog lamps. with standard high suspension. This approach is also used on the smaller Impreza wagon, under the name of Outback Sport. When the 1996 model year arrives, it gets a more aggressive front bumper, with larger rally-inspired rally drives replacing pre-installed fog lamps, higher tires with a more aggressive footprint, and a ground clearance of 7.8Ã, (198à , Mm), with 7.87 in ground clearance (200 mm) in Japan. A more aggressive appearance is also used on smaller Sport Outback while eliminating the increased ground clearance of suspension modifications. This approach was inspired by the Legacy that has been incorporated into international rallies and long-distance racing events, and won the 1990 Safari Rally in the Group N category. In 1996, the Outback I1997 received a hoodscoop mounted on a bonnet without installing the usual innercooler used in conjunction with turbocharger.
The previous generation Legacy wagon had an optional air suspension, which allowed the driver to temporarily increase the vehicle's ground clearance, but the permanent ride height used in the Outback proved more practical. Subaru sales have declined to date in the North American market. With the help of ingenious marketing, a trim level called Outback intent to make Subaru a more capable multi-terrain vehicle offers an affordable and fuel-efficient alternative to popular SUVs that outperform Subaru's traditional offerings. Inheritance and Inland Railways are built at Subaru Indiana Automotive's production facility in Lafayette, Indiana which also produces Isuzu Rodeo and Honda Passport engineered badges, traditional SUVs with four-wheel-drive installed transfer cases and ground clearance extensions.
In September 1997, the Legacy Grand Wagon of Japan was renamed Legacy Lancaster even though the 1998 car retained the Grand Wagon nameplate along with the new Lancaster plates. Earlier versions of Outback continued to use the EJ22 four-cylinder engine, while the next generation introduced the larger EJ25 four-cylinder engine, revised with DOHC and more horsepower. The JDM Grand Wagon and Lancaster are only available with a 2.5-liter DOHC flat-4 engine, receiving an increase of 10Ã, hp (7.5 kW) in 1998. Some Japanese Spec Specs come with digital climate control, plaid seat upholstery, dual-range manual transmission and Momo's black leather steering wheel. Since the only engine available in Japan is a 2.5-liter engine, and engine displacement exceeds Japanese regulations for vehicles classified as "solid", Japanese buyers of the Grand Wagon are responsible for taxes charged on larger cars, and are considered vehicles luxury in Japan. Installing a 2.5-liter engine in the Japanese model also requires Japanese buyers to pay annual road taxes, which further enhance the luxury image.
All trim levels maintain a typical AWD layout that is visible in the legacy of previous generations, depending on the choice of transmission. The manual transmission model is equipped with a mechanical "Continuous AWD" system which is typically 50/50 front/rear, and relies on a limited slip differential to divert power from front to back, rear to front, and from one rear wheel to the other rear wheels (when mounted with differential slip limited back). The automatic transmission model has an electronically controlled AWD system that is 90/10 front/back and diverted to a number of different forces to the rear wheels continuously. When speeding or driving uphill, the weight of the vehicle shifts backward, reduces front wheel traction, causing the transmission to automatically send torque to the rear wheels to compensate. When the brakes or driving down, the weight of the vehicle shifts towards the front, reducing the rear wheel traction. Transmission re-compensates by sending torque to the front wheels for steering control and better braking performance. If automatically placed in Reverse gear or "1", the transmission divides the torque 50-50 to the front and rear wheels.
Legacy SUS
The Legacy SUS (short for "Sedan Sport Utility") was launched with a limited production test sold in the US in 1998 and, by virtue of its success, was launched in North America only the following year. The "Limited" trim level package for Outback carts is standard equipment on the body of the sedan, with extra spoon and rear hood mounted in the trunk. Despite the appearance of the front spoon hood, the SUS is not mounted with a turbocharged engine; the only engine installed from Subaru is the naturally aspired EJ25D engine. The "SUS" moniker has been removed with the introduction of the Second Generation. Plastic side sheets are not on the Outback side door; the underside of the door is painted a contrasting color that is also found on the front and rear bumpers.

Remotely locked entries can open just the driver door by pressing the unlock key once, while pressing the button unlocks all the doors. Using a key to unlock the door after using the remote keyless entry to lock the door will cause the alarm to sound, if equipped with a security system. The doors have to be opened by remote to avoid the security system being shut down.
Unusual interior changes place a flat power switch window against the door panels, while switch windows for first and third generation are extended from the door panels and oriented to horizontal positions and are located under drivers or residents hands for easy location. and used, and integrated into the door pull and armrest. The express feature for the driver window is also removed, leaving only its expression. The design of the power door lock switch is upgraded to a more conventional door lock switch, mounted next to the power window switch, with a secondary power lock switch installed for front passengers. This approach was also used in 1990-1993 Honda Integra
The turn signal repeater side lens introduced in USA 1992-1994 Legacy is replaced by a plastic cap covering the hole where the side repeater is used internationally, and the color of the hat corresponds to the strip color of the door rub on the sold vehicle. in North America.
Many 2.5J DOHC EJ25D engines for this generation experience an internal head gasket leak of about 100,000 miles, (160,000 km). Potential causes include head gasket design, and coolant and corrosion charges - compounded by the cavitation caused by the coolant acting as ground for the car's electrical system, causing it to pick up a positive charge.
