A safe family carrier with a modern interior and four-wheel drive

Despite clinging to the critic part alone I will concentrate on what you can get if this car is purchased. Among the rivals, it gives a really good amount of inner space not short for fitting in five people at a time. The cabin environment is up to date, there is nothing missing and there is everything present which can be scaled as modern.

Next up ahead is the exterior styling which is simple and not much astounding but still, it appeals to families as being simple. Not everyone like complexity, some like to find peace in a simple exterior also. Then there is the right price and even more, is provided in the price tag.

Subaru Legacy may not be much popular or mostly present in the showrooms due to its lower sales, but still, it has its place for traits solely loved by families more. There is a reliability issue which if corrected will give a boost to the car sales.

No one likes to have a car which is going to breakdown anywhere and due to any minor reason. So it is a must the company has to work on. Legacy engines are moderate performers but the higher horsepower producer does satisfy this end to some extent.

The engine line-up

Legacy engines, not liked by many due to the reason of missing fun to drive factor altogether especially in the base engine. But still, it is not that much a bad option to choose especially when you want to have technology, cabin peace and space. Anyways the engine line-up starts with a flat-4 2.5-litre engine with 175 hp on offer.

This is the engine present in most of the trims in Legacy. There is a Continuous Variable Transmission present throughout the range. The second one is a 3.6-litre flat-six engine which is offered with 256 hp. The mpg return for both the engines is 25/34 for the four-cylinder engine and 20/28 for the six-cylinder.

There is an all-wheel-drive associated with the engines as standard which provides a plus point for the car. For the convenience side, there is no problem of replacing the engine you can get Subaru engines supplied and fitted by reliable suppliers. The lower powered engine gives enough punch when around town but on the highway, it will be just fine. The other one present in only Limited editions does give some uplift.

Road behaviour and safety

Subaru does not lose the game over here and there is a good handling present. The four-wheel drive gives a really good grip and the direct steering delivers the exact information of road. The variable transmission works well with smooth gear change not making any out of the way trouble for the one driving.

This mid-size sedan gives an almost fun ride when on a curvy road with good road grip of the four-wheel drive mode. This car is specially rated high for its safety kit making it right for a family person.

Automatic emergency braking, active lane control, eight airbags, stability control, and a rear-view camera are all there to keep the occupiers safe. There are also the Blind Spot monitors but these are present on all but the base Legacy.

The tech on board

Apart from the safety kit, there are other things installed. Technology on board changes with the change in trim level. For the base level, you get to have a 6.5-inch touch screen for the infotainment system. Android Auto and Apple Car Play are also there along with other equipment.

For the Premium trim things add up and make it the most desirable among all. There is an 8-inch touch screen, 10-way adjustable driver’s seat, heated front seats, automatic climate control and auto dimming rear view mirror comes as standard. There are other options that can be installed on demand.

The Sport trim has the alloy wheels, blind spot monitors and keyless ignition which somewhat gives a feel of its name. The range-topping Legacy Limited ads up more goodies and some major ones are air conditioning vents for the rear passengers and heated rear seats. So Legacy is good in many other ways for the ones who want a stable ride for their family with a spacious cabin.
