Subaru Builds Final U.S. Legacy as Indiana Plant Prepares Forester Production

Subaru cites shifting buyer demand toward crossovers alongside a planned move into electrified models.

Overview

  • The last Legacy rolled off the Subaru of Indiana Automotive line on September 12, 2025, closing a 36-year run.
  • U.S. production of the Outback will end shortly after, with Forester assembly starting in October and a Forester Hybrid following in the spring.
  • Subaru framed the decision as a response to sustained preference for SUVs and crossovers as it accelerates its electrification strategy.
  • Nearly 1.4 million Legacys were produced over the model’s lifespan, with the final car finished in Magnetite Grey and displayed beside the first fully assembled example.
  • U.S. demand has waned over two decades, with annual Legacy sales falling from 87,788 in 2005 to 19,591 in 2024.
