What’s New for 2024
The Subaru Legacy has been named a Top Safety Pick for 18 years by the IIHS and is the company’s longest-selling model in the United States. It’s also one of the longest-lasting midsize sedans out there, with 95% of all Legacy models sold in the past ten years still on the roads today. Arriving sometime in the fall of this year, the 2024 Legacy will be available in five trims: Base, Premium, Sport, Limited, and Touring XT.
This generation of the Subaru Legacy was introduced in 2020 and was thoroughly updated for the 2023 model year. Therefore, no significant changes are expected for the 2024 model. Changes for 2023 included revised front and rear bumpers, a larger grille, new fog lights, and a new headlight design, all bringing a sportier, more aggressive look to the sedan.
On the Legacy Sport models, additional exterior accents like a red stripe in the grille and gray mirror caps were added, along with a cool lip spoiler on the trunk lid and different air intake designs beneath the headlights.
Speaking of Sport
Previously, the Legacy came with the company’s tried-and-true 2.5-liter 4-cylinder BOXER engine, with a turbocharged BOXER available only in the highest trims. For 2023 the Sport trim received the beefier engine, a sport-tuned suspension and 18-inch wheels. It also got a heated steering wheel, LED fog lights, a power sunroof, navigation, and exclusive two-tone cloth upholstery with red accent stitching.
