Building off a full redesign just two years ago, the 2022 Subaru Legacy is one of the newest cars in the midsize sedan segment. You'll find it loaded with the latest tech features, including a full suite of advanced driving aids and a tablet-style touchscreen that's among the biggest in the class. The Legacy is also the only vehicle in its class to come standard with all-wheel drive. Few rivals offer AWD in the first place, but every Legacy is equipped to tackle icy roads.
The Subaru Legacy seems to tick all the boxes for a top-tier midsize sedan, but it falls a bit flat in execution. Rivals such as the Honda Accord, Hyundai Sonata and Kia K5 are more upscale and well rounded overall, and they cost roughly the same. Check out our Expert Rating below to get our full take on the 2022 Legacy's performance, comfort and more.
Which Legacy does MatoCar recommend?
The Legacy Premium is our go-to selection if you want a lot of features but have an eye on the bottom line. For a modest increase over the base model, you get niceties such as an improved audio system, heated seats and USB ports in the back. This trim also offers a pair of reasonably priced option packages should you desire even more features. If your budget is a little more flexible, either trim with the turbocharged engine is a major upgrade.The 2022 Subaru Legacy is a midsize sedan sold in six trim levels: Base, Premium, Sport, Limited, Limited XT and Touring XT. Non-XT trims are powered by a 2.5-liter four-cylinder engine good for 182 horsepower. Those trims with the XT moniker get a turbocharged 2.4-liter four-cylinder engine with 260 horsepower. Every Legacy uses a continuously variable automatic transmission (CVT) and comes standard with all-wheel drive. Standard and optional equipment highlights include:
