The Subaru Legacy is Subaru's midsize car, and although the Outback has become separate in name to the Legacy, it still shares the same chassis with the Legacy wagon. It is larger than the Impreza

There are some markets (such as the USA) that did get the Outback sedan, or in some regions, named the "Legacy X" or "Liberty X" in Australia.

Also, the Subaru Baja is based off of the second generation Outback, which itself is based off of the third generation Legacy.

In North America, sales of the regular Legacy wagons without the Outback's various upgrades such as the raised suspension ceased on the fourth generation of the Legacy. Other markets can still get the Legacy wagon, but the Outback version of the Legacy wagon proved to be more popular than the plain Legacy wagon.

Since this is specific to just the Legacy, all Legacy chassis codes will be listed.


Chassis code on a Subaru vehicle can be found within the vehicle's VIN (Vehicle Identification Number). Fourth and fifth digits are the two digits that designate your chassis code.

For example:
JF1 GPA XXXXXXXXXXX

The "GP" in the VIN indicates:
G = Impreza
P = fourth generation 5-door hatchback

The "G" in the fourth digit indicates the Impreza line.

The fifth digit (in the above case, the "P") indicates the generation and body style.
