Expert 2022 Subaru Legacy review

our expert's take

What Is the 2022 Subaru Legacy?

The Subaru Legacy is a five-seat mid-size sedan with a choice of two four-cylinder engines and standard all-wheel drive. A 182-horsepower, 2.5-liter four-cylinder engine is standard, and XT models get a 260-hp, turbocharged 2.4-liter four-cylinder. All Legacy trim levels have a continuously variable automatic transmission. Competitors include the Honda Accord, Toyota Camry and Nissan Altima

What’s New on the 2022 Subaru Legacy?

The base trim level now has 17-inch aluminum wheels, while the mid-level Sport trim gains a power moonroof, as well as blind spot warning with rear cross-traffic alert and rear automatic emergency braking. 

What Features in the 2022 Subaru Legacy Are Most Important?

Standard features include:

  • Adaptive LED headlights
  • Automatic air conditioning
  • Dual-screen multimedia system
  • Apple CarPlay and Android Auto smartphone connectivity
  • Satellite radio
  • Forward collision warning
  • Automatic emergency braking
  • Lane-centering steering assist
  • Adaptive cruise control
  • Automatic high-beam headlights

Available features include:

  • Power-folding side mirrors
  • Dual-zone automatic climate control
  • Leather-trimmed seats
  • Heated front and rear seats
  • Ventilated front seats
  • Heated steering wheel
  • Vertically oriented 11.6-inch touchscreen
  • Navigation
  • Front-view camera

Should I Buy the 2022 Subaru Legacy?

Standard all-wheel drive is a signature Legacy feature, but it also boasts good ride quality and interior space. Cabin materials quality and child-seat accommodations are also good. The CVT is noisy, however, and acceleration is sluggish when starting off. The beeping sounds from the EyeSight active-safety system can be excessive, too.

love my Subaru

from the first day I had it I haven’t had any issues with it as it handles great and gas economy is awesome. I don’t have a negative to write. I drove Lincoln’s for the last 20 or more years and because they stopped making cars and only Crossovers or SVU’s, I searched high and low to find an equivalent car and googled all the options that were a must and the Subaru Legacy Elite came up and my husband and I went to look and drove out with our new car and couldn’t be happier. The ride is comfortable and the car is just great.
