2025 Subaru Legacy Trims Comparison
Which 2025 Legacy trim does Edmunds recommend?
As much as we prefer the turbocharged engine, it doesn't enter the picture until the Sport trim, nearly $10,000 up from the base Legacy. So, the Premium is our choice, adding niceties like a power-adjustable driver's seat and heated front chairs, plus the more straightforward single-screen infotainment system. An affordable option package that adds keyless entry and start, blind-spot warning and rear cross-traffic alert is an easy add-on.
2025 Legacy trim level differences
The 2025 Subaru Legacy is a midsize sedan available in five trim levels: Base, Premium, Limited, Sport and Touring XT. The first three are powered by a 2.5-liter flat-four engine making 182 horsepower and 176 lb-ft of torque, while the Sport and Touring XT get a turbocharged 2.4-liter that bumps output to 260 hp and 277 lb-ft. Both engines send power to all four wheels through a continuously variable automatic transmission (CVT).
