Subaru pulls the plug Wilderness in Japan, but as a last hurray, it has launched a final, special variant of its long-running crossover. Dubbed the Legacy Outback 30th Anniversary Edition, this swan song features a range of upgrades and will be limited to an exclusive edition of just 500 units.

A host of visual enhancements set the special variant apart from the regular model. For example, it sits on new 18-inch matte black wheels, includes blacked-out bumpers, arches and skirts, while sporting black rocker door mirrors, a black grille and black roof rails. A rear spoiler – also in black – has been fitted to the car. Special badges complement the exterior changes.

The most significant upgrade made to the 30th Anniversary Edition is under the skin and comes in the form of Hitachi Astemo SFRDs (Sensitive Frequency Response Dampers), which have been tuned by STI and installed up front. A new set of dampers tuned by STI has also been fitted to the rear.

Rounding out the changes are a handful of unique interior details. For example, a pounding Harmon Kardon sound system with 10 speakers and a subwoofer has been fitted. New ivory and black nappa leather with silver contrast stitching adds to the model’s appeal. The door panels are particularly eye-catching and feature ’30th Anniversary’ stitching, just to ensure occupants never forget this is no ordinary Subaru.

As is common for limited run models like this in Japan, Subaru will host a lottery if there are more than 500 willing buyers for the special Legacy Outback. Order books will open on November 10 and remain open until March 2025. Pricing details have yet to be announced.
