The Subaru brand is well-known for rugged crossovers and SUVs, but don’t overlook this manufacturer’s mid-size sedan, which has been a contender in this class since 1989. The 2023 Subaru Legacy brings the safety features and standard all-wheel drive we expect from Subaru to your daily driver or family sedan.

Basics About the 2023 Subaru Legacy

The Subaru Legacy sedan is a mid-size 5-seat sedan with a spacious and comfortable interior and 15.1 cubic feet of space in the trunk for cargo. The back seat folds in a 60/40 split to allow for greater flexibility and space.

This sedan comes in five trim levels: Base, Premium, Sport, Limited, and Touring XT. The standard engine is a 2.5-liter 4-cylinder engine that offers 182 horsepower and 176 lb-ft of torque. Achieve 260 horsepower and 277 lb-ft of torque with the 2.4-liter turbocharged 4-cylinder engine, which comes standard on the Sport trim. The Sport trim also has a sport-tuned suspension.

New and Unique Features 

New Features

The Subaru Legacy got a facelift for the 2023 model year, with several changes to the exterior. A larger front grille, narrower, LED headlamps, and a new piece of chrome trim give an updated look to the front end of the vehicle. The Sport trim feels sportier this model year, with a 260-hp turbocharged 2.4-liter four-cylinder engine, sport-tuned suspension, and exterior details like a red stripe in the grille and gray mirror caps.

All new models are equipped with the most recent EyeSight driver assistance features, and a new wide-angle front camera has been added at the top trim level. Wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto have also been added for the 2023 model year on every trim level above the Base trim.

Unique Features

The Subaru Legacy’s safety features make it unique in its class. All of the EyeSight driver assistance features come standard at every trim level, as does four-wheel drive. Not every mid-size sedan even has four-wheel drive as an optional feature, so this vehicle certainly stands out for anyone who is looking for a safe commuter or family car for all weather.

Safety

Driver Assistance Features

Subaru equips all of its vehicles, including the Legacy, with its suite of driver-assistance features, called EyeSight. Some key features include automated emergency braking, lane-departure warning with lane-keeping assist, and adaptive cruise control. These technologies result in the highest possible front crash prevention rating by the IIHS.

Crash Test Ratings

In the event of an accident, the Subaru Legacy is a top-rated vehicle for safety, receiving a 5-star rating from the NHTSA. It is also an IIHS top safety pick.

The Subaru Legacy is an obvious choice when it comes to finding a family car or daily driver that will keep you and your passengers safe and comfortable from point A to point B. Come to Jim Keras Subaru Hacks Cross today and take one for a test drive- we know you will be impressed.
