PERFORMANCE

Subaru Legacy

Pardon the pun, but the Subaru Legacy has a lot of drive. It’s powered by a passionate powertrain designed to enhance your everyday travels and keep the party going when the weekend rolls around.

Stable and Steadfast

The Legacy is available with two engines. Check them out:

  • 2.5L engine: 182 horsepower and 176 lb-ft of torque
  • Available 2.4L turbocharged engine: 260 horsepower and 277 lb-ft of torque

Either engine will ensure quick acceleration, especially since each one is paired with the Lineartronic® CVT (Continuously Variable Transmission). This transmission produces efficient and consistent gear shifts, allowing for smooth-as-butter takeoffs.

Every 2025 Legacy trim includes Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive, giving pre-owned sedan shoppers an AWD choice across the lineup. Around Delray Beach, Boynton Beach and Boca Raton, AWD can help distribute power for traction on rain-slick roads. Tire condition, speed and road conditions still matter; AWD does not eliminate stopping-distance limits or make flooded roads safe to drive through.

In It for the Long Haul

The Legacy is a strength stallion and a green machine! The Legacy achieves an EPA-estimated 27 city/35 highway MPG rating with the right configuration.* Even its most robust Touring XT trim blends power and efficiency seamlessly, achieving an EPA-estimated 23 city/31 highway MPG.* A sedan that takes you farther on daily adventures and helps you hold off on getting gas? Say no more.

Its expert engineering and 18.5-gallon fuel tank give the Subaru Legacy over 640 miles of total highway range. Standard Auto Start-Stop technology will help conserve fuel on your adventures by automatically shutting off the engine while idling at a red light or picking up a salty snack at the drive-thru.

INTERIOR

Subaru Legacy

With a sedan as good-looking and dynamic as the Subaru Legacy, everyone in your inner circle will want to hop in for a ride. Fortunately, the Legacy was built to accommodate you and your loved ones. From the driver-centric cockpit and roomy seating appointments to its slew of premium amenities, this Subaru sedan continues to deliver.

Spacious Enough for Your Crew and Cargo

Let the joyrides begin! Gather four of your loved ones and hop in. There will be 105.5 cubic feet of passenger space available for your comrades, which pans out to these dimensions:

Subaru Legacy Interior Dimensions
Headroom (front/rear)39.4/37.2 inches
Legroom (front/rear)42.8/39.5 inches
Shoulder Room (front/rear)58.1/57.4 inches

Look at all that breathing room between the two rows! Tall or short drivers will fit into this sedan, thanks to the generous 42.8 inches of front legroom. Your rear-seat passengers won’t be duped either, with up to 39.5 inches of leg space.

The trunk is equally spacious, measuring 15.1 cubic feet. That’s ample room for carry-ons, groceries, golf clubs, and more!

Your Throne Awaits

The cockpit of the Legacy is your royal throne. While a 6-way manual driver’s seat is standard, you can increase your comfort with an available 10-way power-adjustable seat or a 12-way power-adjustable seat with lumbar support and 2-position memory! Finding your sweet spot will be easy. Your throne of choice will standardly be draped in cloth, or sport cloth, leather, or Nappa leather if you choose.

Take your comfort even further with these available amenities:

  • Heated and ventilated front seats
  • Heated rear seats
  • Heated steering wheel
  • Dual-zone climate control

With these luxuries on board, your crew will be clamoring to join you!

TECHNOLOGY

Subaru Legacy

The Subaru Legacy does a great job of keeping you comfortable. What about occupied and protected? Absolutely! This sedan has user-friendly technology and a comprehensive safety suite to make every ride behind the wheel worthwhile.

Driver-Centric Cockpit

The base model of the Subaru Legacy treats you to dual 7-inch multimedia screens stacked on each other. One is your infotainment hub, while the other prioritizes cabin comfort functions. Higher trims upgrade the central display to an 11.6-inch Multimedia Plus screen with optional navigation.

Regardless of the setup you choose, you’ll have these integrations at your fingertips:

  • Apple CarPlay®
  • Android Autoâ„¢
  • Bluetooth®
  • HD Radio®
  • SiriusXM®

To make every note of your playlist, syllable of your audiobook, and word of your podcast sound crisp, opt for the available Harman Kardon® premium audio system, which places 12 speakers strategically around the cabin.

All-Around Awareness

Every 2025 Legacy includes EyeSight® Driver Assist Technology, supporting the driver with features such as Advanced Adaptive Cruise Control with Lane Centering, Pre-Collision Braking, and Lane Departure and Sway Warning. Driver assistance is a useful shopping benefit; it is not a measure of mechanical durability.

Automatic Emergency Steering is available and requires Blind-Spot Detection. Blind-Spot Detection with Lane Change Assist, Rear Cross-Traffic Alert and DriverFocus® Distraction Mitigation System availability varies by trim and equipment. Confirm the installed features on the specific pre-owned Legacy you are considering.

EyeSight and other assistance systems do not replace attentive driving. Their effectiveness depends on conditions, and the vehicle's Owner's Manual explains operation and limitations. For a used vehicle, ask our team to demonstrate the controls, review its history and explain the equipment before your test drive.

Bring your must-have features to your Delray visit. If blind-spot alerts or driver monitoring matter to you, compare the actual vehicle rather than assuming that every 2025 Legacy has the same package. Browse pre-owned Subaru Legacy listings or ask our Delray team about a specific stock number.
