This is the 7th-generation Subaru Legacy. It comes with all-wheel drive standard, and it is a midsize sedan. See sedans do still exist. But is all-weather traction enough to justify buying this versus, let’s say, a Toyota Camry, Honda Accord, or Hyundai Sonata.
Most 2022 Subaru Legacy trims feature a 2.5-liter 4-cylinder (182-hp, 176 lb-ft). Our test car has that engine, and it feels acceptably eager for the category. For more intense accelerative thrills the XT Limited and XT Touring trims offer up a 2.4-liter turbocharged 4-cylinder engine (260-hp, 277 lb-ft).
Both engines utilize a horizontally opposed layout, which helps lower the Legacy’s center of gravity, a good thing in any vehicle. Each engine is also teamed with a CVT. Yes, that’s your only transmission choice.
Comprising their suite are full-speed adaptive cruise control, lane departure warning, and automatic emergency braking.
The 2022 Subaru Legacy can also detect when the rear seats are occupied, emitting a chime if the seatbelt isn’t fastened.
One area of unambiguous praise is price. The base Legacy’s MSRP is around $23,000 not including destination charges. That price scores you Apple CarPlay & Android auto smartphone connectivity, all-wheel drive as frequently mentioned, and adaptive LED lighting, which is a cool surprise at that price.
