Global News: Subaru Wins 2 Awards From Down Under

The brand’s trademark executive sedan, the Subaru Legacy 3.6R Premium, was named “Best Prestige Car” for the first time, while the Subaru Outback 2.5i topped the competition in the “Recreational Four Wheel Drive” category.

Australia’s Best Cars is the country’s most comprehensive, independent and consumer-oriented new car awards program. Every year, Australia’s top motoring organisations put close to 300 cars to the test by conducting a series of rigorous assessments and analyses to determine Australia’s Best Cars. This year, the prestigious title was awarded to the top car in each of the 12 categories.

“The new Legacy series has already received numerous awards for safety and performance globally, and these latest wins at Australia’s Best Car Awards are further affirmation of Subaru’s commitment to excellence. While the Outback has traditionally performed well in the four-wheel drive category, the Legacy Sedan is truly breaking new ground with its “Best Prestige Car” win,” said Ms. Hannah Tan, Regional Marketing Manager for Motor Image Group. “Subaru is synonymous with great driving experiences, whether on the road, or off the beaten path, and we are excited to see that recognised.”

The Legacy Sedan received full scores in the pricing, safety and security categories, which were ranked of higher importance than other deciding factors. The Legacy Outback also received a perfect ten score in the safety and security categories as well, in addition to scoring above average in other critical categories.
