Brisvegas Posted March 27, 2019 Share Posted March 27, 2019 Just wondering regarding NVH in 7th Gen. Can someone who has upgraded from the 6th give me some comparisons. I don't think my 2016 3.6lt is exceptionally quiet ... especially in regards to wind noise on highways. It's not terrible, but I'd prefer better. In regards to general road noise, I think my OEM Dunlop SP Sport Max tires don't help much .... and I'll be putting on Michelins at my first change, and hopefully that changes things for the better.

ammcinnis Posted March 27, 2019 Share Posted March 27, 2019 Just wondering regarding NVH in 7th Gen. Can someone who has upgraded from the 6th give me some comparisons. In the U.S., Gen 7 Legacys won't be available to dealers and customers for another 3 or 4 months (~July/August 2019).

YeuEmMaiMai Posted April 4, 2019 Share Posted April 4, 2019 having driven the new impreza on the global platform I expect the NVH to be excellent on the legacy... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harsho1 Posted April 10, 2019 Share Posted April 10, 2019 In the pictures i have seen, it appears they have moved to using a framed door window instead of frameless like on my fourth gen. This should help with wind noise immensely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am sure it will be a big step forward. Even my refreshed 6th Gen is a bit quieter than earlier 6th Gen Legacies. https://autoweek.com/article/chicago-auto-show/2018-subaru-legacy-shows-fresh-looks-chicago "The suspension, including the dampers, was retuned on the 2018 model for a smoother ride. To limit ride noise, Subaru says it reshaped the exterior mirrors, added new sound-insulating inner film glass for the front side windows and made the rear wheel aprons thicker. Powertrain upgrades Additionally, the continuously variable transmission on models with a 2.5-liter engine now uses an ultra-short pitch chain, which is quieter, Subaru said. The automaker has also made adjustments to engine timing under acceleration to further limit powertrain noise." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoeChadash Posted August 2, 2019 Share Posted August 2, 2019 I hope they do fix the wind noise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
