BW · US MY2020–2025

The final US Legacy generation.

Subaru unveiled the US-spec seventh-generation 2020 Legacy at Chicago in February 2019. The 2024 discontinuation announcement identified model year 2025 as the end of the US sedan line. The separate Outback continued.

Scope

US seventh-generation sedan; not Japanese Legacy B4 chronology.

Individual engine/trim/transmission specifications must be read against dated US brochures. This profile does not fill every year with one launch specification.

Identify & buy

Identification and ownership notes

BW is attributed by the existing seventh-generation reference; do not confuse it with Outback BT or apply US model-year dates to Japanese B4 production. The announced spring 2025 shutdown timing is a forecast, not a verified final vehicle build date.

Legacy production will end in 2025
23 April 2024 announcement identifies 2025 as the final US Legacy model year. Its spring-production forecast is not an actual final-unit completion date; its six-generation wording conflicts with Subaru’s 2019 seventh-generation announcement.

Wikipedia — Subaru Legacy (seventh generation) and Subaru Outback (BT)
Confirms BW as the seventh-generation Legacy sedan-only chassis code (from July 2019) and BT as the Outback's current-generation code, consistent with treating Outback as its own distinct model line by this generation.
