We have a limited number of reviews for the 2022 Legacy, so we've included reviews for other years of the Legacy since its last redesign.
Very nice car overall, but nothing's perfect!

2022 Subaru Legacy Limited XT 4dr Sedan AWD (2.4L 4cyl Turbo CVT)
7 of 8 people found this review helpful
We have a crimson red pearl 2022 Subaru Legacy Limited XT which currently has 14,000 miles. My wife loves it. Happy wife, happy life. While there are trendier (more modern?) designs out there, we think it's a handsome enough car though it ain't going to win any awards for that! Some of the others look overdone, trying too hard. The turbo has great pick up in all situations and I've been surprised at how unobtrusive the cvt performs. MPG is decent. It rides smoothly (I find the steering too light but it's okay), it feels composed on the road and the seats are among the more comfortable I've tried - the thigh extension is a particularly nice touch. Interior materials and design are generally quite nice. The shape of the trunk makes it feel much larger than what the specs indicate. The huge touchscreen definitely could have been simplified but my non-techie wife seems fine with it. The fact that you have to go to the dealer to get an update on the screen layout (they improved the climate control area) instead of over-the-air is ridiculous. We always use our phones for navigation so I can't comment on that, but other people have complained about it. The WORST rear-view camera image quality I've ever seen (over-contrasted/over-saturated) and I haven't found a way to adjust it. It ranges from poor to useless. It's also not even large, especially considering the humungous screen. How can we have a 2016 Ford Fusion SE AWD with a much better quality image and larger?? I've turned off some of the nanny features like lane departure warning and muted the blind spot warning. Life is better. A panoramic sunroof or at least the larger one would have been a nice improvement over the standard one. There is a shallow parcel shelf at the knee of the passenger which is too intrusive. Having to use the phone app instead of a remote start button on the fob is dumb. You should have both options, as they each have their pros and cons. Subaru has been using the exact same alloy wheel design on Legacies for several years. Time for a change. We had a defective front strut replaced under warranty. The dealer in NY was fantastic.

Subaru Legacy 2020 Keeps failing

2020 Subaru Legacy Premium 4dr Sedan AWD (2.5L 4cyl CVT)

My car is at 88000 miles now which means I drive a lot mostly in highway. I've driven cars in US for about 34 years now and never had this many issues for a new vehicle. 1. I had to replace Windshield 3 times so far which makes last windshield is 4th one. All 4 times it was a small pebble and I wouldn't worry about that but it cracks next day morning. It just cracks as temperature changes. By the way, I am living in San Jose, CA which is not cold at all! 2. Thermal control value failed at 70000 miles or so I had to replace it. 3. Transmission is starting to go out at 75000. I have to replace it now which make me getting mad. 4. Touch screen is not working once in a while until ignition has to be turned off first and restart the car.

2020 Subaru Legacy Sport 4dr Sedan AWD (2.5L 4cyl CVT)

Smooth ride, handles well, and once I realized you push and not punch the pedal on a CVT performance was fine. i was coming out of a Charger w/ hemi and knew my drag racing days where over but I have no problem passing or cruising at 80mph on the highway. Contrary to some reviews I get a lot good comments about how good the blackout looks on the Sport. Was hard trading in my charger but i needed a good AWD and I am very happy with my Sport.

Significant Subaru Legacy Improvement

2020 Subaru Legacy Touring XT 4dr Sedan AWD (2.4L 4cyl Turbo CVT)

I traded in my 2018 Subaru Legacy Limited sedan for the 2020 Legacy Touring XT. For 2020 Subaru moved to a Global Platform for several models. This 2020 model is so much better than the 2018 model. The ride has been greatly improved. It has Nappa Leather with a pull out extension for the drivers seat giving additional support for the legs. The 2.4 liter Turbo provides 260 HP as compared to the 4 Cyl 2.5 litre 182 HP. They've added a front camera, and power folding mirrors, and wireless phone charging. The safety equipment is also improved. On the 2018 model it had lane centering assist, so if you wandered to the edge of your lane it would steer you back into the lane. The 2020 Legacy XT provides lane centering when using the Cruise control. So this model will keep you centered in your lane. It is amazing. The exterior lights are LED and the headlights that turn when you turn. The biggest change is the screen for Nav and other features. It looks like an iPad. It has a start/stop feature that is far from smooth. when you stop at a red light the engine will shut off and when you release the brakes the engine restarts and shakes. Not a great feature. You can press a button on the screen to turn it off but you have to do it every time you restart the car. The front doors have puddle lamps when opened. There are front and rear heated seats. The front seats are also ventilated. My real world MPG on the highway is between 30 - 33. In the city the mpg is around 20 - 24. I replaced the dome light and the trunk light with LED's. The map lights in front are led. The CVT transmission somehow feels like a regular transmission. It has noticeable shifting patterns and you can manually shift the car with the paddle shifters on the steering wheel. This car looks like a luxury car on the inside and it rides and handle like one as well. It is a significant improvement over my former 2018 Legacy. I've had the car for about a year. The car has WiFi, in fact Subaru downloaded new software a couple days ago. It was done overnight while the car was parked in my garage.
