This station wagon crossover is the first vehicle of this type, and it still holds leading position without bigger problems. Latest version came three years ago. This crossover comes based on another legendary model from the Japanese manufacturer, Subaru Legacy. It shares a platform and most of the mechanics and visual parts. According to some reports, we could see first updates for the next year. Current, sixth generation came in 2014, so this could be the perfect time for the first update.
