Subaru loyalists will be pleased that the redesigned-for-2020 Legacy doesn’t stray far from the previous model, and that a host of improvements helps it rank among the top midsized sedans. The Legacy is sensible, comfortable, quiet, and easy to live with in almost every way, plus it comes with all-wheel drive, a unique standard feature in the class.

The redesigned 2020 Legacy provides a comfortable ride that outshines some luxury cars. Handling is responsive but not sporty. This all-wheel-drive sedan is fitted with a choice of two four-cylinder engines: a 182-hp 2.5-liter or a 260-hp turbocharged 2.4-liter. The standard engine is adequate but makes an unpleasant roar when pushed. It provides a decent 28 mpg overall. The turbo version delivers strong acceleration and is quieter. We like that the well-tuned CVT mimics the shift patterns of conventional automatics. Unfortunately, the large infotainment screen requires users to wade into menus to perform some common tasks. Standard equipment includes forward collision warning, automatic emergency braking, lane departure warning, and adaptive cruise control, but blind spot warning and rear cross traffic warning are optional. Starting with the 2021 model year, steering responsive headlights, which are designed to swivel according to steering input to give added visibility in corners, are standard on all trims. Changes for 2022 include standard blind spot warning and reverse automatic braking on the Sport model. 2025 is the final year for the Legacy.
