As the originator of all wheel drive sedans and wagons, Subaru reigns as the sole automaker to offer every one of its U.S.-sold cars with a system that provides a horizontally-opposed boxer engine, four wheel independent suspension, and all wheel drive system components. The Legacy Outback Limited sedan adds to the traction/handling/overall balance all wheel drive equation with more ground clearance than base, GT and GT limited Legacy (7.3 inches vs. 6.1 inches) and a two-tone body color (lower half is a titanium painted protective cladding).

Outback Legacy Limited employs a 2.5-liter 4-cylinder 165 horsepower engine. (The new Outback H6-3.0 VDC uses a horizontally-opposed 6-cylinder, 212 horsepower engine.) The 4-cylinder engine mated to a 4-speed electronic automatic transmission achieves fuel mpg ratings of 22 city and 27 highway. Outback Legacy Limited retains the base dimensions of base Legacy, Legacy GT and Legacy GT Limited: 104.3-inch wheelbase and an overall length of 184.4 inches. New for 2001 features on the Outback Legacy Limited sedan include viscous limited slip rear differential as standard fare, larger front disc brake size, and a new digital trip odometer. MSRP of the Outback Legacy Limited sedan is $25,995.
