The second-generation Subaru Legacy was marketed in Japan from October 1993, and July 1994 (for the 1995 model year) marked the second generation in North America with a full body and chassis revision. The exterior was designed by Olivier Boulay in 1991, during his tenure at Subaru. The tail light appearance on both the sedan and wagon was influenced by the taillights on the SVX.
