Subaru previews Legacy Concept ahead of LA Auto Show

Concept Cars 15 Nov 2013

Subaru has revealed the first images of the Legacy Concept, a four-door coupe show car that will give indication on the design direction for the next-generation flagship model.

The Legacy Concept showcases sporty proportions and very generous dimensions, with a length of 4,930 mm and a height of 1,500 mm, visually balanced by an impressive width of 1,940 mm and a long wheelbase of 2,880 mm and large 21-inch wheels.

The dynamic look is underlined by the fast, arched roofline, the muscular wheelarches and the accelerating shape of the sharp character line that runs along the sides.

The front end and the rear end have a very similar graphic motif, with C-shaped lighting units, vertical air intakes/exhausts at the bottom sides and the hexagonal-shaped front grille/license plate holder.

The front end, in particular, bears some resemblances with the recent VIZIV Concept, presented at this year’s Geneva Show.

Concept-only features include the clean, two-window design of the DLO, the sharply designed side mirrors and high-tech, full-LED headlights, and the absence of conventional door handles: all elements that will be almost certainly left out in the upcoming production version.

The body is finished in “Ocean Silver Metallic” paint, a special color blend that consists of a light blue metallic silver with a metallic sheen and feel.

The interior – which is yet to be revealed – can accommodate four passengers and combines the brown base tone of the leather trims with blue accents.
