The 2024 Subaru Legacy will arrive at dealerships this fall as the longest-selling Subaru vehicle in America. Subaru’s midsize contender received a comprehensive facelift for the 2023 model year and is unique with its standard all-wheel drivetrain and torquey Boxer four-cylinder engines. The new Legacy is a member of our best midsize sedans list for continuing to offer more features, decent performance, and plenty of safety tech for the price.

Powertrain & Fuel Economy

The 2024 Subaru Legacy is available with two engine choices. The Base, Premium, and Limited come standard with a naturally-aspirated 2.5-liter Boxer four-pot with 182 horsepower and 176 lb-ft. of torque. Combined with Symmetrical all-wheel drive and an eight-speed CVT automatic transmission, Subaru claims the base engine delivers up to 600 miles of range per tank.

Meanwhile, the Sport and Touring XT have a turbocharged 2.4-liter Boxer engine that produces 260 horsepower and 277 lb-ft. of torque. The blown engine pairs with the same CVT and Symmetrical all-wheel drivetrain to deliver an EPA-estimated 24 in the city, 32 on the highway, and 27 combined.

In addition, the Legacy Sport and Touring XT features a driver-focus mitigation system and a wide-angle mono camera to identify pedestrians and cyclists on the road.
