2025 Subaru Legacy Sedan Trims Comparison

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).

Base
The Legacy base trim starts with features such as:

  • 17-inch alloy wheels
  • Adaptive LED headlights (swivel as you turn the steering wheel for better illumination in curves)
  • Automatic climate control
  • Manually adjustable front seats
  • Cloth upholstery
  • 60/40-split folding rear seat
  • Dual 7-inch central displays
  • Four-speaker audio system
  • Apple CarPlay and Android Auto smartphone integration
  • Two USB ports
  • Satellite radio

Every Legacy includes Subaru's EyeSight, a bundle of driver aids that includes:

  • Forward collision mitigation (warns you of an impending collision and applies the brakes in certain scenarios)
  • Adaptive cruise control (adjusts speed to maintain a constant distance between the vehicle and the car in front)
  • Lane departure warning (alerts you if the vehicle begins to drift out of its lane)
  • Lane centering system (makes minor steering corrections to help keep the vehicle centered in its lane)
  • Head-up display (displays important information in your sight line on the windshield)
  • Automatic high-beam assistance

Premium
The Premium trim adds more desirable features, including:

  • Heated side mirrors
  • Windshield wiper de-icer
  • Dual-zone automatic climate control
  • Leather-wrapped steering wheel
  • Power-adjustable driver's seat
  • Heated front seats
  • Rear air vents
  • 11.6-inch touchscreen display with wireless smartphone integration
  • Six-speaker audio system
  • Two rear USB ports

Two unnamed option packages are available for the Premium. The first offers:

  • LED foglights
  • Keyless entry and ignition
  • Blind-spot warning with rear cross-traffic warning (alerts you if a vehicle is in your blind spot during a lane change or while in reverse)
  • Evasive steering assistance (enhances the forward collision mitigation system with steering-based collision avoidance below 50 mph)

The second package bundles those items with:

  • Sunroof
  • Navigation system

Limited
The Limited builds off the Premium feature set with:

  • 18-inch alloy wheels
  • LED foglights
  • Sunroof
  • Keyless entry and ignition
  • Auto-dimming rearview mirror
  • Driver's seat with memory settings and power lumbar adjustment
  • Power-adjustable passenger seat
  • Heated outboard rear seats
  • Heated steering wheel
  • Leather upholstery
  • 12-speaker Harman Kardon audio system
  • Navigation
  • Blind-spot warning with rear cross-traffic warning
  • Evasive steering assistance
  • Rear automatic braking (applies the brakes automatically to avoid an imminent collision with an object behind the vehicle)
  • Driver attention warning (issues an alert if sensors determine you are becoming fatigued)

Sport
The Sport trim gets the more powerful turbocharged engine. It also builds on the Limited trim's standard features with:

  • 18-inch gray wheels
  • Sport-tuned suspension
  • Unique grille and exterior trim
  • Rear spoiler
  • Cloth upholstery
  • Red accent interior stitching
  • Heated leather-wrapped steering wheel
  • Driver monitoring system

Touring XT
Uses the turbo engine and includes every feature available on the Legacy (minus the Sport trim's unique sporty features) and a few exclusive upgrades, such as:

  • Power-folding mirrors
  • Upgraded leather upholstery
  • Ventilated front seats
  • Front-view camera (aids in parking)
  • Enhanced wide-angle camera system (aids in quickly recognizing pedestrians, cyclists and intersection cross-traffic)

Which 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.
