“The Legacy Touring XT is fun to drive, handles well, has a lot of power for its size, and handles hitting a deer and being able to drive away afterward very well. The interior is well appointed with a large touch screen and heated/ventilated seats. Heated seats in the rear for when my daughter is along is what sold me on this model.”
2024 Subaru Legacy: What's New, Specs & Features
Last updated August 4, 2026
The 2024 Subaru Legacy is mostly a carryover after the 2023 refresh. The main change is that the Sport gains a standard 11.6-inch touchscreen and Harman Kardon audio.
About the 2024 Subaru Legacy
7th generation (2020-2025), fifth model year and second year after the 2023 refresh.
Subaru positions the Legacy as a midsize sedan for drivers who want sedan comfort without giving up all-weather confidence. Its core draw is simple: standard Symmetrical AWD, a roomy cabin, strong safety tech, and long-haul practicality in a segment where many rivals are front-wheel drive by default. The Legacy’s identity is more secure, durable, and foul-weather friendly than flashy, which helps it stand apart from Camry, Accord, Sonata, Altima, and K5 shoppers.
The lineup ranges from the straightforward Base and comfort-focused Premium to the leather-trimmed Limited. Sport pairs a 260-hp turbo engine with a sport-tuned suspension, while Touring XT combines the same turbo power with Nappa leather, ventilated front seats, and a front-view camera.

2024 Subaru Legacy

“I would recommend the 2024 Subaru Legacy to anyone looking to buy a new vehicle. We've had a good experience with both of our Subaru vehicles, the 2013 and the new 2024.”
“This is a great car. It is very reliable, safe, and comfortable. The best part is the gas mileage, which is far above what I expected.”
