The sedan segment has shrunk considerably, which makes the final model year of the Subaru Legacy feel like something worth paying attention to. Anyone weighing it up should start with a detailed Subaru Legacy overview, which lays out the colors, trims, engines, and technology available before you ever step onto a dealership lot.
Power and Efficiency
Two Boxer four-cylinder engines are on offer. The standard 2.5-liter makes 182 horsepower and returns an EPA-estimated 27 mpg in the city and 35 on the highway, while the 2.4-liter turbo bumps output to 260 horsepower with 23 city and 31 highway mpg. Standard all-wheel drive and a CVT with an eight-speed manual mode come with either choice.
Inside the Cabin
Passenger comfort scales nicely with the trim you choose. Options range from cloth seating up through leather and Nappa leather, with heated front and rear outboard seats, ventilated front seats, and dual-zone climate control available higher up. Rear seatbacks fold in a 60/40 split when the 15.1-cubic-foot trunk isn't quite enough.
Color and Trim Choices
Six exterior colors are offered, including Crystal White Pearl, Cosmic Blue Pearl, and Crimson Red Pearl, spread across five trims: Base, Premium, Limited, Sport, and Touring XT. That range makes it easy to land on a configuration that balances price with the features you'll actually use.
Tech and Driver Assistance
An 11.6-inch touchscreen, wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, and an available Harman Kardon audio system keep the cabin modern. Every trim also gets EyeSight, Subaru's driver-assist suite, covering adaptive cruise control, automatic emergency braking, and lane-keeping support.
Final Thoughts
With strong standard safety, flexible engine choices, and Subaru's all-weather capability built in, the Legacy still makes a compelling case as a daily driver. Taking one for a test drive before the model disappears for good is the most reliable way to know if it suits you.
