The current [URL="http://www.autoblog.com/subaru/legacy/"]Subaru Legacy[/URL] is only three years old, but compared to rival midsize sedans like the [URL="http://www.autoblog.com/mazda/mazda6/"]Mazda6[/URL] and [URL="http://www.autoblog.com/ford/fusion/"]Ford Fusion[/URL], which have recently received thorough redesigns, it might as well be a million. In other words, a reworking is in order. Caught in these spy shots, the 2015 Subaru Legacy appears to be about the same size as the current model, but it appears that [URL="http://www.autoblog.com/subaru/"]Subaru[/URL] is looking to push the sedan a little more upmarket in terms of styling and luxury.

Despite the heavy camouflage, some elements of the new Legacy's design are still visible. The new headlights still have a scalloped shape but are much narrower, and we can also see the deep body creases that run the full length of the sedan. At the rear of the new Legacy, the taillights should get some added depth with a C-shaped brake light design similar to what we saw on the [URL="http://www.autoblog.com/2013/03/28/subaru-wrx-concept-new-york-2013/"]WRX Concept [/URL]earlier in the year.

Showing that Subaru is aiming a little bit higher for this Legacy, this car is being benchmarked against all-wheel-drive luxury vehicles like the current [URL="http://www.autoblog.com/infiniti/g37+sedan/"]Infiniti G37[/URL] and the [URL="http://www.autoblog.com/audi/allroad/"]Audi Allroad[/URL] - the latter is likely for comparison with the Legacy's wagon version, the [URL="http://www.autoblog.com/subaru/outback/"]Outback[/URL]. Following the [URL="http://www.autoblog.com/2013/03/28/2014-subaru-xv-crosstrek-hybrid-video-new-york/"]XV Crosstrek Hybrid[/URL], we expect the 2015 Legacy to be the next Subaru product to get a gasoline-electric hybrid powertrain, which we hear will be paired with a turbocharged four-cylinder engine, a CVT and, of course, all-wheel drive.

No word as to when the 2015 Legacy will debut, but the [URL="http://www.autoblog.com/new-york-auto-show/"]New York Auto Show[/URL] is as good a guess as any.[URL="http://www.autoblog.com/2013/07/30/2015-subaru-legacy-prototype-spy-shots/"]2015 Subaru Legacy prototype caught testing in Michigan[/URL] originally appeared on [URL="http://www.autoblog.com"]Autoblog[/URL] on Tue, 30 Jul 2013 17:29:00 EST.
