What Is the 2025 Subaru Legacy?

The Subaru Legacy is a five-seat mid-size sedan with a choice of two four-cylinder engines and standard all-wheel drive. A 182-horsepower, 2.5-liter four-cylinder engine is standard on most trims, but Sport and Touring XT trims get a 260-hp, turbocharged 2.4-liter four-cylinder. All versions of the Legacy have a continuously variable automatic transmission. The Legacy’s competitors include the Honda Accord, Hyundai Sonata, Nissan Altima and Toyota Camry.

What’s New on the 2025 Subaru Legacy?

For 2025, the Legacy’s Limited trim comes standard with a power moonroof, an 11.6-inch infotainment touchscreen with wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, a driver attention monitor and a heated steering wheel. This is the Legacy’s swan-song season; Subaru will discontinue the car after the 2025 model year.

What Features in the 2025 Subaru Legacy Are Most Important?

Standard features include:

  • Adaptive LED headlights
  • Automatic climate control
  • Dual-screen multimedia system
  • Apple CarPlay and Android Auto smartphone connectivity
  • Satellite radio
  • Forward collision warning
  • Automatic emergency braking
  • Lane-centering steering assist
  • Adaptive cruise control
  • Automatic high-beam headlights

Available features include:

  • Power-folding side mirrors
  • Dual-zone automatic climate control
  • Moonroof
  • Leather-trimmed seats
  • Power-adjustable seats
  • Heated seats front and rear
  • Ventilated front seats
  • Heated steering wheel
  • Heated side mirrors
  • Wi-Fi hotspot
  • Vertically oriented 11.6-inch touchscreen
  • Navigation
  • Front-view camera
  • Automatic emergency steering

Should I Buy the 2025 Subaru Legacy?

The Subaru Legacy has never been a particularly strong seller (its Outback sibling is much more popular), but it’s still a worthy (if staid) alternative to its class rivals. Standard AWD is a signature Legacy feature, but it also boasts good ride quality and interior space. Cabin materials quality and child-safety seat accommodations are also competitive. Its CVT is noisy, however, and acceleration starts off sluggish. Beeping sounds from the EyeSight active-safety system can be excessive, too.

    I was planning to buy a luxury brand and test drove the

    I was planning to buy a luxury brand and test drove the BMW 3 series, the Audi A4, and the Lexus ES300. I then, due to reviews on Consumer Reports, tested the Subaru Legacy in it's top form, the Touring XT with a 260 HP engine, and I was blown away. Almost as quick as the BMW but rode smoother and quieter. Not as smooth and quiet as the Lexus, but more fun to drive. The Audi seemed cramped and the dealer was a disappointment. The Legacy interior was the most attractive in my opinion, has 4 wheel drive, a great sound system, and ended up being my favorite of the 4 cars, regardless of price. When you consider how competitive (or better) the Legacy is compared to the other 3 cars, and that I saved $13,000 on the price, it was a no brainer. It's really sad the Legacy is being discontinue, but all my comments also apply to the Outback Touring XT. The Legacy is a great car at a bargain price.

    Bought the Legacy Touring XT model.

    Bought the Legacy Touring XT model. Previously owned Lexus and Infinitis, and this is a good or better than those cars. Smooth handling and responsive engine/ride. Dashboard is easier to use than expected. Nice connection to Airplay. Speakers are great. Safety systems are very good. Leather is luxurious. I would never have selected this car if I didn't already own a Forrester, which is also well built. I feel like I bought a luxury car for a 15K discount if not more

    Replaced my 10 yr old Legacy as 2025 is the last model year. I loved my 2015 Legacy. Very reliable and no issues at all at 122k. Hoping for the same. The 2025 has some nice improvements. So far, so good!
