2024 Subaru Legacy Sedan Trims Comparison

Trim level differences

The 2024 Subaru Legacy midsize sedan is available in Base, Premium, Limited, Sport and Touring XT trim levels. Base, Premium and Limited trims come with a 2.5-liter four-cylinder engine (182 horsepower, 176 lb-ft of torque), while the Sport and Touring XT get a turbocharged version of the same engine with 260 hp and 277 lb-ft. Both engines pair with a continuously variable automatic transmission (CVT) and all trims come standard with all-wheel drive.

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 include:

  • 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 keeping system (makes minor steering corrections to help keep the vehicle centered in its lane)
  • 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
  • Keyless entry and ignition
  • Auto-dimming rearview mirror
  • Driver's seat with memory settings and power-lumbar adjustment
  • Power-adjustable passenger seat
  • Heated rear seats
  • Leather upholstery
  • 12-speaker Harman Kardon audio system
  • 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)

The Limited's optional feature package includes:

  • Sunroof
  • Heated steering wheel
  • Navigation system
  • Driver monitoring system (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
  • Sunroof
  • Sport-tuned suspension
  • Unique grille and exterior trim
  • Rear spoiler
  • Cloth upholstery
  • Red accent interior stitching
  • Leather-wrapped heated 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
  • Navigation system
  • Front-view camera (aids in parking)
  • Enhanced wide-angle camera system (aids in quickly recognizing pedestrians, cyclists and intersection front cross-traffic)

Which Legacy trim does Edmunds recommend?

The Premium trim is our recommendation for its excellent value. For a modest price bump over the base model, you get the larger 11.6-inch center touchscreen, heated front seats, rear air vents and a power-adjustable driver's seat. For just a little more, we suggest adding the optional package that includes LED foglights, keyless entry and ignition, blind-spot warning with rear cross-traffic warning, and evasive steering assistance.
