2025 Subaru Legacy Changes


    
 
 
 
 



2025 Legacy release date at Planet Subaru: Fall, 2024.

On its volume products, Subaru typically introduces all-new models on a five-year product cycle. Take a look at the way this cycle unfolds on the Legacy:

Model year (and sequence in product cycle):Change:
2020 (first year)
All new design from the ground up
2021 (second year)
Very similar to prior year
2022 (third year)
Very similar to prior year
2023 (fourth year)
"Refresh" of the exterior and interior
2024 (fifth year)
Very similar to prior year
2025 (first year)
Cycle repeats...all new design from ground up

HOWEVER, owing to lingering effects of the major post-pandemic supply-chain issues that bedeviled the auto industry worldwide, Subaru is adding an extra year to the traditional product cycle. The 2025 Legacy will be similar to the 2024 model.

Subaru published one change for the 2025 Legacy: Power moonroof, DriverFocus® Distraction Mitigation System, navigation, and a 360-degree heated steering wheel are now standard on Limited trims.

2025 will mark the last year that Subaru builds a Legacy, which means that Subaru will not offer any sedan now that the Impreza sedan already sang its swan song. Consumer tastes have significantly changed as car-like SUVs have come to dominate the sales charts. The sedan segment continues to shrink, so Subaru is putting its engineering efforts into its other products.




Many more details and pricing:

The Subaru Legacy sedan is the longest-running nameplate for the company on sale today and is well-equipped for $24,895 to start. The sophisticated sedan is equipped with Subaru Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive in all trim levels. For 2025, the Legacy is available in Base, Premium, Limited, Sport and Touring XT trim levels.

The 2025 Legacy is equipped with EyeSight Driver Assist Technology with Advanced Adaptive Cruise Control with Lane Centering, USB-based Apple CarPlay and Android Auto compatibility, 17-inch alloy wheels, LED Steering Responsive Headlights with High Beam Assist, Rear Vision Camera with Adaptive Guidelines, and SUBARU STARLINK dual 7.0-inch touchscreen system with AM/FM/HD radio, Bluetooth hands-free phone and audio streaming connectivity, USB-A charge point, and SiriusXM including a 4-month trial subscription and SiriusXM Travel Link trial subscription.

For $27,195, the same as prior model year, the 2025 Legacy Premium adds an All-Weather Package (heated front seats, power exterior mirrors, windshield wiper deicer), 10-way power-adjustable driver's seat, leather-wrapped steering wheel, SUBARU STARLINK 11.6-inch Multimedia Plus System, and dual-zone automatic climate control.

Under its skin, the 2025 Legacy Sport is powered by a 260-hp 2.4-liter turbocharged BOXER engine, sport-tuned suspension, and SI-DRIVE Engine Performance Management system.

Legacy through the years:

Introduced in 1990 as a small Japanese car, Legacy has grown in size and sophistication.  Through 2007, you could buy a Legacy sedan and a wagon, which got a little confusing since the more rugged Outback was also based on the Legacy platform.  (Making things even more confusing was the Outback Sedan, from 1997 through 2007).  Now, if you want a midsize sedan, you get the Legacy, and if you want a midsize wagon, you get the Outback. 


 
2020 and newer
You would hardly know if from the sheetmetal, which bears similarities to the previous generation, but nearly every part on the car changed, including the chassis or "frame." Built on Subaru's Global Platform that now underpins most of its vehicles, this latest generation is much more crash-absortive and it rides like it's hewn from a single hunk of very strong metal. Infotainment screen goes big time and new features, such as Driver Focus, abound.
 



2015 through 2019
Fifth generation increases slightly in size and now offers most room in its midsize sedan class.  Upscale interior abounds with technology and infotainment functions.  Airbag count rises to eight with the addition of seat cushion airbags that deploy from the flat part of the seat to hold front occupants in place during an accident.


2010 through 2014





Sales skyrocketed with the introduction of a much larger Legacy, every bit as big as segment leaders Camry and Accord.  Continuously variable transmission debuts and fuel economy jumps.
  Eyesight appears in 2013. Optional six cylinder grows to 3.6 liters. 


2005 through 2009





Subaru refines this generation further, with better fuel economy, smoother ride, six airbags (including side curtains) and optional goodies such as navigation and a race-me-chase-me turbocharged engine. The Legacy Wagon sings its swan song in 2007, and thereafter Legacy becomes synonymous only with "Sedan."


2000 through 2004






Size remains the same, but Subaru irons out some goofy ergonomics from the last generation.  Larger 2.5 liter and side airbags become standard.  Styling and handling improve.


1995 through 1999







The second generation arrived with more interior room, and a more appealing exterior.  All wheel drive became standard in 1996. 


1990 through 1994





Introduced with a small 2.2 liter
engine, you could order your Legacy in your choice of front wheel drive or all wheel drive, sedan or wagon.  But every one came with a boxy exterior and motorized seatbelts!
