The 2020 Subaru Legacy launches this model’s seventh generation, which is based on a common platform shared by other Subaru vehicles. The latest Legacy features numerous changes, including a new four-cylinder turbocharged engine to replace the previous inline-six, updated technologies, and an all-new range-topping Touring trim.

The Subaru Legacy comes in five trims: Legacy, Premium, Sport, Limited, and Touring. Pricing starts at $23,645 including destination for the Legacy and reaches $36,795 for the Touring.

The Legacy’s base 2.5-liter four-cylinder engine is back, bringing with it a slight boost in power. The previous inline-six is replaced by a turbocharged inline-four that offers more horsepower.

All Legacy models have a polished continuously variable transmission, which shuttles power to all four wheels. Models with the turbo engine are given an "XT" designation. The more powerful motor is standard on the Touring and available on the Limited.

The Subaru Legacy’s interior is slightly larger than the previous model, which translates into more back seat room. Four fit comfortably inside, but even a fifth individual can fit without much trouble.

The split fold-down rear seat is a welcome feature, expanding on the trunk’s 15.1 cubic feet of cargo capacity, which is slightly below average for the segment.

All Legacy models come with bundled driver-assist technology marketed under the Subaru EyeSight umbrella. These features include adaptive cruise control, lane keeping assist, automatic emergency braking, and lane departure warning.

The Limited and Touring also get blind-spot monitoring, lane change assist, rear cross-traffic alert, and reverse automatic emergency braking as standard. The former three are available on the Premium and Sport through package bundles.

When safety tests are conducted later this year, Subaru expects the all-new Legacy to retain its previous Top Safety Pick Plus rating from the IIHS and its five-star overall safety rating from the NHTSA.

Subaru ensures Legacy owners are well connected by offering a standard 7-inch display in the base model and an 11.6-inch display in all other trims. You’ll find the usual Bluetooth, Apple CarPlay and Android Auto smartphone compatibility, two or four USB ports, and an app suite.

A navigation system comes standard on the Touring and the Limited XT, but it's available on lower trims outside of the base model.

The standard Subaru Legacy comes with LED headlights, folding side mirrors, and 17-inch steel wheels with covers. Cloth upholstery, a tilt-and-telescopic steering column, paddle shifters, air conditioning, and an overhead console are included.

The Premium trim adds features that remove some of the “bare bones” look of the base model. For instance, this one has 17-inch aluminum-alloy wheels, a windshield wiper deicer, and heated side mirrors.

Inside, this trim has a leather-wrapped steering wheel, a 10-way power-adjustable driver’s seat, heated front seats, dual-zone climate control, a six-speaker audio system, four USB ports, and the 11.6-inch touchscreen.

Buyers can equip their Legacy with a moonroof, navigation, LED fog lights, keyless entry, push button start, blind-spot monitoring, lane change assist, and rear cross-traffic alert all for $2,595.

Choose the Legacy Sport and you’ll find LED fog lights, 18-inch aluminum-alloy wheels, and a trunk spoiler. Subaru also equips this model with keyless entry, push button start, and unique sport cloth upholstery with red contrast stitching.

This time, you can bundle the moon roof, navigation, active safety, and reverse automatic emergency braking for $2,245.

The Limited trim delivers leather seating, adaptive headlights, a 10-way power driver seat, an eight-way power passenger seat, heated rear outboard seats, and a 12-speaker Harman Kardon audio system.

The Limited XT, which houses the turbocharged engine, adds a few standard features over the standard Limited model. These include the moonroof, navigation, a heated steering wheel, and a driver attention monitor. These four features are available on the Limited with the standard engine for $2,045.

At the top of the Legacy range is the all-new Touring trim. This model adds ventilated front seats, Nappa leather seating, a console-mounted CD player, and a 180-degree front view monitor to the list of standard equipment.
