2025 Subaru Legacy: What's New, Specs & Features
Last updated August 4, 2026

The 2025 Subaru Legacy is the sedan’s final U.S. model year. Otherwise, it is a light update, with the same five-trim lineup and powertrains but a few trim-level equipment changes.
About the 2025 Subaru Legacy
7th generation (2020-2025), final model year in the U.S. lineup.
The Legacy is Subaru’s midsize sedan for buyers who want a traditional four-door car without giving up all-weather traction. Subaru markets it around three main ideas: standard AWD, strong safety technology, and a roomy, comfortable cabin. That makes it stand out from most midsize sedan rivals, which usually start with front-wheel drive. The Legacy is less about flashy styling and more about secure daily driving, winter-weather confidence, and long-trip comfort.
The base, Premium, and Limited trims use a 182-hp 2.5-liter engine, while Sport and Touring XT pair standard AWD with a 260-hp turbo engine. Premium focuses on everyday comfort and an 11.6-inch touchscreen, while Limited adds leather, navigation, and premium audio. Touring XT tops the range with Nappa leather, ventilated front seats, and a front-view camera.
