A SERIES of new and facelifted Subaru models go on sale to coincide with the London Motor Show at Earl's Court which opens on October 20. The all-new 125bhp 2.0-litre Legacy saloon and estate, starting at £15,495 on-the-road for the GL saloon, joins the 2.5-litre GX saloon and estate and Outback models launched earlier this year.

Safety features on the new model, which has been launched to compete competitively on price with fleet market leading vehicles the Ford Mondeo and Vauxhall Vectra, include full-time all-wheel-drive with ABS, plus standard side, driver and passenger airbags. Equipment also includes electric windows, body-coloured electric door mirrors, outside temperature indicator, immobiliser and remote central locking.

Meanwhile the Impreza line-up gets a facelift, including a new locking device for child seats, and on the Sport and Turbo models body-coloured door handles and door mirrors, new six-spoke alloy wheels, and the Turbo also gains a graphite finish centre console and facia panel. Prices are unchanged.
