Trims, Powertrains, and Fuel Economy

The 2024 Legacy lineup is composed of five trims: Base, Premium, Limited, Sport, and Touring XT. The first three have a 2.5-liter four-cylinder engine making 182 hp and 176 lb.-ft. of torque. The the Sport and Touring XT, on the other hand, get a turbocharged 2.4-liter four-cylinder with an output of 260 hp and 277 lb.-ft. of torque. A continuously variable transmission (CVT) matches up with both powerplants, feeding power to Subaru’s renowned Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive system.

The Legacy’s fuel efficiency is laudable, with the 2.5-liter versions returning an EPA-estimated 27 mpg in the city and 35 mpg on the highway. The higher-powered turbocharged edition is rated to achieve 23 city/31 highway.

Base

Contrary to its entry-level status, the Base Legacy has an array of standard features usually seen on higher trim levels. The highlights are LED steering-responsive headlights, remote keyless entry, automatic climate control (single zone), a tilt-and-telescopic steering wheel with paddle shifters, a front-row USB-A port, and a 60/40-split folding rear seatback. Its infotainment system, contained within a crystal-clear 7-inch touchscreen, is the command center for Android Auto and Apple CarPlay, Bluetooth hands-free connectivity, HD Radio, SiriusXM satellite radio, and a four-speaker sound system.

To top it off, the Base Legacy receives the Subaru EyeSight driver-assist technology bundle. This grouping of advanced safety features provides adaptive cruise control with lane centering, pre-collision braking, lane departure and sway warning, lane keep assist, and automatic emergency steering. Automatic high beams come standard as well.

The Sport gets its own blend of standard features, including a heated steering wheel, moonroof, and DriverFocus system (but it does not have heated rear seats or position memory). It stands out visually with gray exterior accents that help it live up to its name: a trunk spoiler, dual exhaust outlets with stainless-steel tips, and sport cloth upholstery with red contrast stitching.
