Overview
The 2025 Subaru Legacy sedan embodies a perfect blend of style, practicality, and performance. Sharing its underpinnings with the Outback, the Legacy diverges in its mainstream appearance and lower ground clearance. With a range of infotainment and driver-assistance features, the Legacy delivers a smooth ride and stable handling.
Price
The 2025 Subaru Legacy starts at $26,065, with the top-of-the-line Touring XT trim priced at $39,340. The mid-range Sport model offers the best balance of features and value, priced at $35,640.
Engine and Transmission
The Legacy’s base engine is a 2.5-liter flat-four, producing 182 horsepower. Sport and Touring XT trims feature a 260-hp turbocharged 2.4-liter four-cylinder. All models come with all-wheel drive and a continuously variable automatic transmission (CVT). The turbocharged engine delivers rapid acceleration, reaching 60 mph in just 5.7 seconds.
Dimensions and Interior
The Legacy’s cabin feels expansive, with well-chosen materials and comfortable seating. Cloth upholstery is standard, while leather is available on high-end trims. The front seats feature a manual thigh extension, and the trunk is generously sized, holding eight carry-on suitcases.
Performance
The Legacy’s handling dynamics are stable and predictable, with a compliant ride. However, excitement is lacking, and drivers seeking thrills may find alternatives more engaging. The turbocharged engine adds a welcome boost of power.
Fuel Economy
EPA estimates peg the non-turbo Legacy at 30 mpg combined, while the turbocharged models achieve 27 mpg combined. Real-world testing confirms its efficiency, with 34 mpg recorded on the 75-mph highway fuel-economy test.
The 2025 Subaru Legacy is a solid choice in the mid-size sedan market. With its standard all-wheel drive, spacious interior, and generous trunk space, it’s a practical and capable vehicle. Although its fuel economy and driving excitement may not lead the pack, the Legacy’s overall package makes it a compelling option worth considering. As the final model year for the Legacy, this sedan remains a reliable choice for those seeking a dependable ride.
