2019 Subaru Legacy Trims Comparison

2019 Legacy trim level differences

The 2019 Subaru Legacy is a five-passenger midsize sedan available with two engines and five trim levels: the base 2.5i, 2.5i Premium, 2.5i Sport, 2.5i Limited and 3.6R Limited. Legacy 2.5i versions have a 2.5-liter four-cylinder engine (175 hp and 174 lb-ft) while the 3.6R has a 3.6-liter six-cylinder (256 hp and 246 lb-ft). All Legacy models come with a continuously variable automatic transmission and all-wheel drive.

The 2.5i feature set includes 17-inch steel wheels, air conditioning, a rearview camera, a 60/40-split folding rear seat, Bluetooth, a 6.5-inch touchscreen interface, Apple CarPlay and Android Auto smartphone integration, four USB ports (two up front and two in back), and a four-speaker sound system a CD player and HD and satellite radio. Subaru's EyeSight safety package is also standard. It includes adaptive cruise control, forward collision mitigation, lane departure warning and lane keeping assist.

The 2.5i Premium adds 17-inch alloy wheels, an All-Weather package (heated front seats, heated mirrors and a windshield wiper de-icer), dual-zone automatic climate control, an auto-dimming rearview mirror, a leather-wrapped steering wheel, an 8-inch touchscreen interface, and six speakers for the sound system.

The 2.5i Sport is pretty similar to the Premium but has 18-inch wheels, LED foglights, keyless ignition and entry, an auto-dimming rearview mirror, and a variety of exterior and interior trim flourishes. The Sport also receives blind-spot monitoring and rear cross-traffic alert.

The 2.5i Limited reverts to the Premium's styling but gains an upgraded suspension, power-adjustable front seats, driver-seat memory settings, heated rear seats, leather upholstery and a 12-speaker Harman Kardon sound system. With the 3.6R Limited, you also get the six-cylinder engine and turn-adapting LED headlights.

Notable options for the Legacy, depending on the trim level, include a sunroof, a navigation system and extra driver assist safety features such as automatic high beams and reverse automatic braking.

Which 2019 Legacy trim does Edmunds recommend?

The 2019 Subaru Legacy already comes well equipped, so for our money, we'd opt for the 2.5i Sport. Its large 18-inch wheels, and unique interior and exterior trim let it stand out from other Legacy's, while it comes with features like a moonroof and trunk spoiler.
