Is Subaru Legacy 2.5gt driving smoothly?

Some contents about stability evaluation are extracted:

Smooth driving:

The performance of Legacy in the whole process is still very smooth, and there will be no sudden frustration, thanks to the 5-speed automatic gearbox matched with the gearbox.

Although this 5-speed automatic gearbox is not particularly prominent in the number of gears and absolute technology, it is more common, especially under the premise that major manufacturers have developed and used dual-clutch gearboxes in recent years. However, if you knew that this SPORTSHIFT E-5AT gearbox was developed by the famous British racing company Prodrive, you wouldn't have that idea. More importantly, from the actual experience, it works well with the 2.5T engine with strong torque and the four-wheel drive system to be launched later, which can not only ensure the comfort of daily driving, but also meet the acceleration demand of occasional runaway.

SI-DRIVE Subaru intelligent driving lifting system

This paper introduces a function that can change the personality of Legacy 2.5GT-Si-Drive (Subaru Intelligent Driving Lifting System). Under its control, the engine has three distinct power output modes: sports mode, super sports mode and intelligent mode. In fact, this is similar to the driving mode choice of BMW and Audi. Electronic throttle and fuel supply are mainly controlled by adjusting engine control unit (ECU), automatic transmission control unit (TCU) and electronic throttle management system, so that vehicles have different performances.

In the intelligent mode, the performance of the vehicle is mainly stable, comfortable and fuel-efficient. Without deliberate teasing, the engine is in a semi-dormant state, and the gearbox is also actively upgraded to a higher gear, generally around 1800 rpm. This model is obviously suitable for use in cities and highways. However, in some specific situations, such as mountain roads or sudden acceleration of overtaking, switching to sports mode will have completely different performance, the power of the engine will be excited soon, and the gearbox will be delayed to shift to 2500 rpm. At this time, the dynamic response of the vehicle is very sensitive, which caters to the mentality of drivers who love sports.

vtd

On the brand-new Legacy 2.5GT, matching with the sports shift E-5AT automatic gearbox is "VTD full-time four-wheel drive system", and the English name is "Variable torque distribution AWD". The front and rear torque distribution can be switched between 50:50 and 45:55, and more torque acts on the rear wheels, which is more conducive to reducing the trend of understeer. Under normal driving conditions, the VTD four-wheel drive system makes the dynamic driving of the Legacy 2.5GT very stable, which is much better than most of the predecessor mid-size cars on the market. Whether it is high-speed cornering or parallel overtaking, the driver's confidence is obviously stronger, which can be said to be a point worthy of recognition by Subaru.

basis

The performance of the chassis is equally important for a car. The new power adopts a brand-new cradle engine bracket, and the engine is placed on a cradle-like bracket. The bracket has four supporting points connected with the engine, and the main connecting part is rubber structure. This system can not only improve the control ability, but also reduce the vibration and noise caused by the running engine, and has more reliable passive safety.

Vdc system

Subaru comes standard with VDC vehicle dynamic control system in all parts of Legacy, and the restrictions of this system are still very loose during fierce control to get more driving pleasure. However, as a four-wheel drive model, the critical point of the handling limit of the Legacy 2.5GT is too clear. If the vehicle speed or steering operation is slightly excessive, it will immediately change from understeer to oversteer, and the body will be out of control. Before this, VDC system will intervene decisively and forcibly pull the body back to normal state.

Driving stability and control pleasure are really two sides of the movement. We can see that stability is the main theme in Heritage, but once it exceeds the limit, another situation will occur. For ordinary drivers, this kind of control is safer and more fun, and it is not difficult to control, which is in line with the positioning of Lishi: it has sports potential but is still a car suitable for daily use.

Summary of performance test: gifted, capable of writing and martial arts

Undoubtedly, the Legacy 2.5GT is a sports mid-level car that is highly recommended. It has two natural characteristics: rapid acceleration, reliable braking, stable handling, horizontally opposed turbocharged engine and full-time four-wheel drive, which makes it have great advantages compared with the same class. It is also in place in dealing with daily use and sports ability. It can be said that it is an all-rounder who can be literary and martial.
