Overview

The 2015 Subaru Legacy is a midsize sedan offered in 4 trims, starting off at a base MSRP of $21,695. For that price, it mainly competes with the Honda Accord, the Nissan Altima, and the Toyota Camry. Between 4 trims, the Subaru Legacy offers 2 powertrains. The base engine is a 2.5L Flat-4 engine capable of making 175 horsepower and 174 lb-ft of torque. The optional engine is a 3.5L Boxer-6 motor that induces 256 horsepower. Both the engines will be mated to the CVT transmission.

The Subaru Legacy reaches 60 MPH from zero in 8.1 seconds on its base engine, which gets pumped up to 7.2 seconds with the 3.5L Boxer-6. Depending on the powertrain, the Subaru Legacy can manage a combined fuel economy between 30 and 25 MPG. While we're on the topic of choices, the 8 striking colors the Subaru Legacy comes in really pull you towards itself.

Buying Advice

If you are satisfied with the power of the 2.5i engine, you should go with the base model. Otherwise, we suggest you opt for the 3.6R Limited trim, which is an all-rounder in the class.
