2026 Subaru Legacy review

Subaru Legacy: a class leader on the details. Illustrative review

8.3/10 OffLot expert score

The 2026 Subaru Legacy is a strong contender in its class. Efficient in mixed driving; comfortable front seats on long trips. Rear headroom is tight for tall passengers and road noise on coarse pavement, so test the trim you'd actually buy. Starting around $26,000, it undercuts most direct rivals.

Solid, with a few quirks

The fuel economy is the standout. My only gripe is road noise on the highway, which I knew going in.

★★★★☆Priya A. · Austin, TX · 4 months owned
Good, not perfect

We cross-shopped three others and this won on fuel economy. road noise on the highway is the trade-off.
