The 2025 Subaru Legacy continues to be the reliable, safe, and well-balanced sedan that’s been a favorite of drivers who want practicality without sacrificing comfort or driving fun. For years this midsize sedan has been the go-to for drivers who need a car that can handle all kinds of weather. Subaru’s commitment to safety and its loyal base of all-weather commuters makes the 2025 Legacy a great choice for both suburban and city driving.

Exterior
The 2025 Subaru Legacy gets a subtle yet sophisticated exterior update, staying true to its understated self while adding some modern flair. The front fascia is reworked with a wider grille and slimmer LED headlights to give the sedan a fresh look. Subaru designers have hit the sweet spot so the Legacy will appeal to traditional Subaru fans and new customers who like its elegance.

Trim levels offer different styling options, with the Legacy Sport adding blacked-out accents, 18-inch alloy wheels, and a sport-specific grille to give the otherwise elegant exterior a sporty twist. The body is aerodynamically shaped for efficiency and has smooth lines along the sides that taper to the rear with sleek LED taillights. Functional design elements like body-colored side mirrors with integrated turn signals and optional roof rails on certain trims add to the Legacy’s versatility.

Interior
Inside the 2025 Legacy is a spacious, high-quality cabin designed for comfort and practicality. Subaru has fitted this model with premium materials, especially in the Touring XT trim where Nappa leather seats create a warm, luxurious space. The dashboard is intuitive with soft-touch surfaces and a clean design that avoids clutter while keeping everything within easy reach.

Seating in the Legacy is designed for long road trips, with cloth seats on base trims and leather on higher trims. Both front and rear seats have plenty of legroom making the Legacy a great car for families and commuters. Heated and ventilated seats are available on upper trims to keep you comfortable in any climate. Subaru’s attention to interior acoustics means a quiet cabin that reduces road noise for a better driving experience.

Infotainment and Connectivity
The 2025 Legacy has a user-friendly, tech-packed infotainment system that’s a class above the rest. At the center of it all is the 11.6-inch touchscreen available on most trims which is the hub for navigation, entertainment, and climate controls. Subaru has improved the system’s responsiveness and UI and now includes smartphone integration with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto as standard.
The Legacy’s infotainment package also includes a Harman Kardon premium audio system for great sound throughout the cabin. USB charging ports for front and rear passengers mean devices will always be powered on the go and Bluetooth connectivity for hands-free phone and music. Subaru’s STARLINK Connected Services adds another layer of convenience with remote start, emergency assistance, and vehicle tracking through a smartphone app.

Performance and Powertrains
Power and efficiency are the name of the game with the Legacy and it has two different powertrains to suit different driving styles. The base engine is a 2.5-liter four-cylinder that produces 182 horsepower for daily driving and a smooth ride. Mated to Subaru’s CVT it’s a balanced and fuel-efficient package for commuting and long road trips.

For those who want more power, the Legacy also offers a turbocharged 2.4-liter engine in the XT trims that produces 260 horsepower. This turbocharged option gives quicker acceleration and better highway passing and is for drivers who prioritize performance. Whichever engine you choose Subaru’s symmetrical all-wheel drive is standard so you get great traction and stability, especially in bad weather.

Driving and Handling
The 2025 Legacy has a smooth and composed ride thanks to Subaru’s all-wheel-drive system. This system works in conjunction with the vehicle’s responsive steering and suspension to give you confidence on any road. The Legacy’s suspension is balanced between handling and comfort, absorbing bumps with ease and suitable for long road trips and urban commuting.

Subaru’s Vehicle Dynamics Control keeps the Legacy stable in slippery conditions so you have added peace of mind in snow or rain. The Legacy’s ride is also backed up by its braking performance with solid stopping power to make it a well-rounded and safe choice.

Safety and Driver Assist
Safety is top of mind with the 2025 Subaru Legacy and it comes with Subaru’s advanced EyeSight Driver Assist Technology as standard on all trims. This includes adaptive cruise control, pre-collision braking, lane departure warning, and lane-keeping assist. The system has been improved for faster response times and better detection so Subaru can keep occupants safe.

In addition to EyeSight, select trims of the Legacy have more safety features. The available DriverFocus Distraction Mitigation System uses facial recognition to monitor driver attention and alerts the driver if signs of fatigue or distraction are detected. Blind-spot detection, rear cross-traffic alert, and reverse automatic braking are also available on higher trims to give you another layer of awareness to reduce the risk of collision.

Fuel Economy and Environment
The 2025 Subaru Legacy shows Subaru’s commitment to fuel efficiency. The 2.5-liter engine gets an estimated 27 mpg city and 35 mpg highway, impressive for an all-wheel-drive sedan. Even with the turbocharged 2.4-liter engine fuel economy is still respectable at 24 mpg city and 32 mpg highway. So if you want fuel economy but don’t want to sacrifice the all-weather capability of Subaru’s AWD system the Legacy is a great choice.

Trim Levels and Options
The 2025 Subaru Legacy is available in multiple trims each with its own set of features. The base trim may be the most economical but it has the essentials: EyeSight Driver Assist, smartphone integration, and keyless entry. As you move up the trims—Premium, Limited, Sport, and Touring XT—the features list gets longer with more comfort, tech, and luxury options.

The Touring XT is the top of the line and comes with the turbo engine, Nappa leather seats, heated steering wheel, and ventilated front seats. This trim is for those who want the luxury experience within the Legacy. The Sport trim has styling cues like red stitching and exterior accents and is for those who want a more sporty look.

Resale and Reliability
The Subaru Legacy has a reputation for high resale value and Subaru’s build quality and reliability is the reason why. Kelley Blue Book ranks the Legacy as one of the top models in its class for resale value so it’s a big plus for budget-conscious buyers. Subaru’s durability is also backed up by its 3-year/36,000-mile basic warranty and 5-year/60,000-mile powertrain warranty so you have more peace of mind.

The 2025 Subaru Legacy is a safe, reliable, and fuel-efficient midsize sedan with advanced safety features, a comfortable interior, and solid performance options. With multiple trims and options, Subaru has something for everyone so the Legacy is a segment standout.
