Detailed analysis of the Subaru Legacy SW 3.0R · 245 CV (2008-2009)
General description
The 2008 Subaru Legacy SW 3.0R is a station wagon that combines the versatility of an everyday car with a powerful engine and Subaru's characteristic all-wheel drive. With 245 hp and a design that, although discreet, hides a big heart, this model is positioned as an interesting option for those looking for more than just simple transportation.
Driving experience
Behind the wheel, the Legacy SW 3.0R offers a balanced driving experience. Its 245 hp six-cylinder inline engine provides smooth and forceful acceleration, reaching 100 km/h in 8.4 seconds. Subaru's permanent all-wheel drive guarantees exceptional grip in any condition, transmitting a great sense of safety and control. The suspension, McPherson type on both axles, filters terrain irregularities well without sacrificing stability in curves. It is a car that invites you to enjoy long journeys, with precise steering and agile response for its size. The combined consumption of 9.8 l/100km is reasonable for its power and traction.
Design and aesthetics
The design of the Subaru Legacy SW 3.0R is functional and elegant, without ostentation. Its fluid lines and familiar silhouette give it a discreet but distinguished presence. The dimensions of 4720 mm long, 1730 mm wide and 1470 mm high, together with a wheelbase of 2670 mm, give it good habitability and a 459-liter trunk, very practical for daily use or for getaways. The 17-inch wheels with 215/45 R17 tires complement its aesthetics, providing a sporty touch without being excessive.
Technology and features
Under the hood, the Legacy SW 3.0R mounts a 3.0-liter 6-cylinder gasoline engine, which delivers 245 hp at 6600 rpm and a torque of 297 Nm at 4200 rpm. Indirect injection and 4 valves per cylinder distribution ensure efficient power delivery. The 5-speed automatic transmission, combined with AWD all-wheel drive, optimizes performance and safety. Although it does not have the latest connectivity innovations of current models, its mechanical technology is robust and proven, offering remarkable reliability. Ventilated disc brakes on both axles (316 mm front and 290 mm rear) guarantee powerful and safe braking.
Competition
In its segment, the Subaru Legacy SW 3.0R competes with station wagons from premium brands such as the Audi A4 Avant, the BMW 3 Series Touring or the Mercedes-Benz C-Class Estate, albeit with a slightly different approach. It also competes with models such as the Volvo V50 or the Volkswagen Passat Variant, offering an alternative with standard all-wheel drive and a larger displacement gasoline engine than many of its direct competitors at the time. Its price of €43,350 placed it in a competitive position against its European rivals.
Conclusion
The Subaru Legacy SW 3.0R is a station wagon that stands out for its balance between performance, safety and practicality. Its powerful engine, all-wheel drive and well-tuned suspension make it a very capable and pleasant car to drive, both on the road and in more demanding conditions. It is an ideal option for those looking for a versatile, reliable vehicle with a touch of sportiness, without sacrificing comfort and space. A car that, despite the years, continues to offer a gratifying and safe driving experience.
