What is the Subaru Loyale?

The Loyale was the US-market name for a compact Subaru passenger car from the Leone family. The Leone helped establish Subaru’s reputation for offering all-wheel drive in an everyday passenger car. Depending on body style, the family included practical sedans and wagons.

The Loyale’s second generation, identified by codes AA and AL, ran from 1990 to 1994. In the United States, the name was used for the later years of the Leone line.
